    We were disappointed to be mostly driving on paved roads looking for wild animals. In all fairness we had just finished a fabulous Serengeti Safari. Our Kruger driver drove very quickly making it difficult to spot animals. At times he did not listen to the requests of other travellers ie to stop, back up, or go forward. He was not all bad.....so it was still good...just not as good as the Serengeti experience

    We had a great tour, loved the itinerary. So many great experiences including so many animals in the wild. Very unique experience from the lodges to Capetown with most everything being arranged for us. Highly recommend this tour with Timeline travel! We think it was a great value.
