“The tour facility did a pick up. Once we got to location, we picked up the quads. Went for wonderful quad run. I’ve done about four ATV/quads rides so far this year and this was the best! The terrain was really interesting to drive, the view of the animals were wonderful and we saw zebras, giraffes, etc. Then we sat down for a really yummy lunch with perfect weather. It was a great day. I highly recommend.”
