Tiina H. Finland –
Hi,
We really enjoyed our holiday and liked our Garden Route Safari trip. Gonzalo was a great guide, he knows a lot and told us so many interesting things. Safari was great experience. Also Black Oystercatcher was really beautiful and nice place. There was lot of driving during three days but of course we saw a lot. There was lot of roadworks especially when driving to safari and that’s why the journey took quite long time. It would have been nice to arrive a little bit earlier to safari place, now we went to swimming pool very quickly.
Please say many thanks to Gonzalo and say hi to him from both of us! We have so many nice photos from Sout-Africa and we will always remember this holiday! Hope to get there back someday.
Best regards,
Tiina
