My wife and I just concluded safari tours over two days with Gerrie, owner of Kruger Gateway Safaris....Having done safaris across several parks before, I can honestly say this was our best experience by a country mile.
Kruger was simply spectacular..the sights, the sunset, the sunrise, the sounds of birds and wildlife, the amazing countryside, wildlife in abundance whilst we traversed the park covering over 200kms...Gerrie works hard to deliver a great experience.
We had some amazing close encounters with elephant and giraffes really close by and saw all of the Big 5....In fact 4 of the 5 on Day 1. After Day 1 we were delighted and thought that the day could not be topped, but how wrong...Gerrie came through and made Day 2 even more exceptional, heading off to the furthest ends of the park.
Now a short word about Gerrie...This man lives and breathes wildlife and conservation and is such a great brand Ambassador to Kruger National Park. He was just so knowledgable providing endless insights in animal sightings, characteristics, history of the Park, fauna and flora names ( even spouting the latin equivalents...lol). Great sense of humour and very engaging..definitely a people's person.. we had more than a few laughs over the two days.
Gerrie was tireless in terms of his pursuit to show us the best the Park has to offer and giving us simply spectacular photo opportunities with all the game we saw. Nothing was too much and exceeded our expectations in every way.
Apart from the happy snaps we took, Gerrie provided high quality images from his camera, which so clearly captured the image of the animals...Many of these will go up in frames on the wall at home, they were that good!
We always felt comfortable, safe and in capable hands. Hands down exceptional value and benefit in going with a guide of this caliber.
We sourced Gerrie through his positive reviews and given our unbelievable experience, he will be our guide of choice for future visits and we have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends. Nice work Gerrie and you are so deserving of the accolades all of the reviews give you!
