This is a great safari tour but quite hectic. You get picked up at 4am for a 530am flight to Johannesburg. Our driver had wrong hotel name and got delayed, so we made it just in time for our flight. David was very helpful at Africa Moja but being responsive and emailing us boarding passes. After landing, it is a 5 hour drive to the lodge. The Umbhaba Eco lodge is great. When we arrived our rooms were not ready and we were asked to go for a safari tour immediately. We refused and had a hurried lunch. Then 4 hour safari. Saw lots of wildlife and guide was great. Next day safari starts at 530am and lasts until 330pm. So in total, it is a day or so of safari but great wildlife viewing because we went in late August. On the third day, you just drive and catch flight back to Cape Town. The one thing I would caution is that even though breakfast, lunch, dinner is included, the lodge asked us to pay for our lunch. I am still waiting for my refund from Africa and David there said that he would refund but so far no response. Overall a hectic but good tour.
