In Europe this dangerous visit would have been not allowed for security reasons. We were not informed about the riskiness of being stuck into the "cymney": I would revommend that visitors, before chosing the "adventure tour" are fully informed about its features. In my case, being seventy years…”

“The activity was great overall 😊 I would say that not all guides are equal meaning some provided more information about the fauna and flora than others. My game drive guide (in Kruger) was on the "not so much information" side which is a pity. I would have liked to learn more about the amazing animals. Also it would be nice if the final bush walk were longer. It was very interesting but way too short.”
