Excellent
For this once in a lifetime experience, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible which it did for our family of five, much to the credit of our guide John. John was not only knowledgeable and adept at finding the animals (the Big 5 and more) but was also responsive and was quite simply fun to be around -- he has a great personality and we all enjoyed sharing our experience with him. Wildplus Escapades is the way to go -- booking was easy with Esther in the office, and all of our connections and drivers were timely, kind and appropriate. What an experience!

Excellent guide but complex logistics
We had an incredible experience thanks to our guide, Rutger, who was not only knowledgeable but also went out of his way to help us spot all of the Big Five. His enthusiasm and expertise made the safari truly memorable.
However, we encountered some logistical challenges. The group was merged with participants from other operators, which meant a lengthy process of picking people up from multiple hotels before we could really get started. It took a significant amount of time and felt a bit disorganized.
While the overall safari was fantastic and Rutger’s efforts were outstanding, it would have been helpful to receive a heads-up about the shared arrangement. With more transparent communication about the logistics, future travelers could be better prepared for the longer pre-safari pickups.
