So much fun with the whole family. We did the 4x4 and the clay shooting. Highly recommended! Friendly staff, we will be back.

Unfortunately the buggy’s were either too old (suggested by our guide), or not well maintained as ours broke down and there was no replacement. The boss did refund our money but it ruined what was supposed to be the highlight of our day
