We had a good trip and saw lots of animals. Our guide,Robin, was excellent at the guiding, but his culinary skills were questionable! Our biggest concern was that when he met us, he was very tired, as he had done a back to back safari and had only 3 hours sleep. Nobody in that state should be driving clients. He had no time to shop for food and was unprepared for our trip. Naturally,we helped him, but from the itinerary we did not think that it included supermarket shopping.
It was a very expensive safari and the Kruger part of the trip was very basic. Sabi Sands was terrific in every way. Robin really should have had an assistant to help with the driving and cooking. I am sure that if you look back at your records you will see at what time the previous clients arrived back in J'burg and then when we left for Kruger. It is a very long drive back, especially when stopping off at God's Window etc. He had no time to rest up for the next trip. Our transport was very unsuitable for viewing game,but this was a last minute switch apparently.
I hope that these comments have helped and I will be very interested to hear your reaction.
