A lovely river cruise on the Touws River. However for an older person, getting on and off this boat can be a bit of a challenge. I also think it is a bit overpriced as one also has to pay to go into the park as well. But still worth it, saw some interesting bird life and the guide was well informed and made it interesting.

This is a must do activity. Mike is the best guide . I am also a guide by profession but I learn from him every visit. Don't miss out this opportunity to experience the beautiful wilderness experience.
