I was part of a large group and the tour guides were excellent in ensuring that we all had a memorable experience. I have wanted to go on a safari for a long time and Afrishare made it a very positive and memorable experience. The meals they served were excellent with more than enough food. The vehicles were comfortable and made it easy to see the animals. And we did see an abundance of animals. This was an experience I won't forget.
