    The guides were fantastic and I loved the itinerary. It was an amazing trip. My only complaint is that Tour Radar took way too long to respond to my questions before the trip.

    Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for the review, and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed both the guides and the itinerary. Our delay in responding to your questions is due to the fact that our offices are closed on weekends and we do not have access... Show more

    Our guide supposedly had a lot of experience but in comparison to other tour guides (I've taken many tours), he did not give us ongoing information specific to areas we were traveling through. He was sometimes difficult to hear & understand. While looking for animals on safari, he was sometimes on his phone & appeared somewhat disinterested leaving it to the driver, Louis. Unfortunately our 2nd to last night he got quite drunk before he joined us for our dinner at a restaurant. He explained that he had 'worked hard on the tour' and deserved to 'relax'. His hygiene practices could improve & were a concern in meal prep. I felt Louis our driver was good. He was competent, easy to understand, provided interesting information but did not take over what the guide should be doing & did his very best to keep the tour on schedule. The itinerary was good as it included a lot of areas. The accommodation was good, except for the Drakensburgs (I only had hot water in the kitchen even after repair). It was especially good in Knysna - Lagoona Inn. I am sorry to say negative things about our guide, but felt I should be truthful. ~ Maureen
