It was an excellent tour. We got two safari guides named Akani and Shadrack. Both were superb. They tried their best to show us big 5, ugly 5 animals and all the other beasts and birds. Seeing the lionesses is the best out of them. We missed only rhino. The Kruger Adventure Lodge was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Staying in the tent was adventurous. The food was good. We were fortunate to have a good weather to have the best views in Panoramic tour. I have forgotten the Panorama tour guide's name. However, He was also a great guide. Everything was on time. I have no hesitation to recommend this tour to anyone who wish to enjoy seeing animals. It was a well organized tour from the beginning to the end.Show more
