    **Exceptional South African Adventure with Cardi, Ricardo, and Patrick** Our recent journey through South Africa was truly unforgettable, and much of that is thanks to the incredible team guiding us: Cardi, Ricardo, and Patrick. **Cardi**, our tour guide, was an absolute geml. Her deep knowledge of South African history, culture, and wildlife made each day a fascinating adventure. She had a wonderful way of bringing stories to life, connecting us with the essence of the places we visited. Cardi was always attentive to our needs, ensuring we were comfortable, engaged, safe, and having the time of our lives. Her passion for her work is truly contagious, and she made sure that every moment of our trip was both educational and fun. **Ricardo**, camp chef that complemented Cardi perfectly. His enthusiasm and energy added an extra layer of excitement to our journey. Ricardo's insights into local traditions and his ability to navigate us through the most scenic routes made every excursion special. His friendly demeanor and readiness to answer any question—no matter how small—made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Not to mention the meals he prepared were fantastic!! **Patrick**, our bus driver, was exceptional as well. Navigating the roads of South Africa is no small feat, but Patrick did so with the utmost skill and professionalism. We always felt safe and at ease in his capable hands. Patrick was also incredibly friendly and approachable, often sharing his own stories and local knowledge, which added another dimension to our experience. His punctuality and reliability ensured that our trip ran smoothly from start to finish.. Cardi, Ricardo, and Patrick made our South Africa safari adventure truly extraordinary. Their dedication, expertise, and warm personalities transformed our trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through this beautiful country. Highly recommended!

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      Generally speaking, January, February and June to October are the best times to go on safari in Africa. This is the dry season, so animals tend to come out into more open spaces in search of water, making them easier to spot. However, you will be able to spot animals all year round and you will enjoy fewer crowds if you travel outside peak season. Popular safari destinations: Kenya safari tours, Kruger National Park safari tours, Serengeti safari tours, Okavango Delta safari tours, Tanzania safari tours, Botswana safari tours.
