Our recent safari with Endless Summer Tours was spectacular! The 9-day Incredible South African Safari and Drakensberg Adventure was perfect for our family. Our guides, Rhys and Tommy, were exceptional—both were knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and the environment. Every detail was taken care of, and both guides catered to our preferences with amazing meals. We were fortunate to see diverse wildlife, including newborn giraffes and a group of four cheetahs—each encounter was unforgettable. Endless Summer Tours provided an extraordinary experience that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re seeking a well-organized private safari with passionate guides, look no further. Rhys and Tommy made our trip truly special.
