“I had an amazing time doing this Safari. I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Watson. He was always one step ahead and got us to see 3 of the big five, but also several other animals. He had lots of knowledge to share and knew the best spots from where we could spectate the wildlife. The whole organization was very uncomplicated and convenient. Also, the schedule was flexible so that it was no problem for Watson to adapt the day to our needs. All together, very recommendable!”
