    Unfortunately, the safari did not meet our expectations. Things that were booked were simply not done. For example, the sunrise safari - when we pointed this out to our guide, we were fobbed off with the answer that we had already seen lions that day and what else we wanted to see. In addition, the transportation back to the airport was completely "forgotten" although we pointed this out several times. The last option here was for us to stop other people's cars ourselves to get transportation. Overall, the scenery was totally impressive, but we would still not recommend this tour.
