Everything was perfect.
- 2 day South African Wildlife Safari Highlights Tour from Cape Town
“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” What a perfect quote for the most surreal and most amazing experience. I joined a 2day Wildlife + Safari tour with Hotspots2c, after counting down the days to my tour it was finally here. All packed and ready to go, I climbed onto the tour bus to start my adventure. Zaahid was our tour guide,and he immediately made you feel welcomed and got us all very excited for our trip which lay ahead. Our first taste of adventure was a 4x4 Game Drive, in the most spectacular reserve. We were able to see so many wild animals in their natural habitat as well as get a friendly Hello by a Giraffe passing by. Next was Walking with LIONS, I have no idea how to describe how amazing this was, other then the experience was sensational and so surreal. From here, we headed to our Backpacker accommodation where we spent the night, and what a fun, lively place it was, from Spring Bokkie shots to "Braaing marshmellows" We were up bright and early for a wonderful breakfast and then we headed to the elephants, this was my favorite part of the tour!! these animals are so loveable and even showed us how they can play football, it was AMAZING ! We then went to the Cango Wildlife Ranch where I got to touch a cheetah and Lemars and go Dive with the crocs, it was incredible being so close to these wild animals. All in the all this was the most amazing tour, and i was able to tick so many things off my bucket list !

Andrew. Not only a brilliant guide but a brilliant person who made everyone feel welcome. Didn't intervene and allowed people their own space to get on with what they wanted to do. He very knowledgeable and gave good insight into landmarks we were passing. Best guide I have ever been with and deserving of me to take the time out to write a review on him. Thanks for the experience mate.
