The good things - very nice guide, Douglas and driver Calvin. Douglas was knowledgeable, and Calvin was very cooperative and helpful. Although we didn't probably go at the best time, we still saw Hippos, Elephants, Gazelles, Zebra, Eland, Giraffes, and lots of birds, so no complaint there. And they allowed my to sit up front to help me with my bad knees. Calvin was a very safe driver, no speeding, and no silly overtaking.
The "could be improved". The vehicle is a van, and not as nice as the 4WD that we saw at the park. Seating a little cramped. Lunch was supposed to be at the park, but instead was at a simple cafe offsite, so we ended up eating at almost 4pm. Better to tell people to bring a picnic, or supply one and eat at observation hill. I asked if I should pay for the park fees on ecitizen the night before, and was told no need, but then had to do it en route.
At the price point, I think a good introduction to game drives all in all.
