An absolutely amazing experience. We booked this last minute and I have to say, I'm so glad we did!
At the airport transfer it seemed complete chaos, but we boarded the little plane and landed on the airstrip.
We immediately got into our jeep with 4 others and started our safari. Our driver was awesome, great knowledge, super friendly and made us feel very welcome. We saw a whole mixture of wildlife up close and personal. Giraffes, elephants and pumbas just walking next to you!. The first day was really tiring as we had a 4am collection time that morning.
We had breakfast and lunch in the park, which was lovely.
We arrived at the overnight accommodation which was a surprise, as the room was not how it was sold (double check yours as this happened to a few guests). Our room was swarmed with army ants and had quite a few issues. The management were brilliant and moved us to another room, so all good.
The food at the lodge was great, so with full tummies we had a well earned rest.
At 7am the next morning we started the 2nd day. By 9.30am we had discovered a small group of lions, just sleeping. Only a few feet away and totally not bothered by us one bit.
We saw 19 different types of animals and birds over the 2 days. The photos were amazing.
Side note, if you suffer from a bad back, you may need to rethink about booking as the roads are unlike any we've encountered and you are really thrown around in the jeep. Also make sure you have easy clothes to get in and out of as you need to wee in the bushes.
It was such a fabulous experience, and you're looked after. Highly recommend:)
