I was able to get some amazing pictures that look like post card. He has so much passion and love for the animals. I learn more from him than I did at the zoo. You can tell he really love his job and it shows. Our safety was Joel number one priority. I felt safe at all time. Thank you Joel for being so patience when we was shopping .

Gracepat was an amazing safari experience on a decent budget that I recommend to all my friends and travel groups. What made it even more special was Kelvin, our guide. He is a professional, very knowledgeable, poly, people caring and always striving to make us happy and exceed our expectation. He loves and respects the nature and he knows everithing about wildlife. He knows all the animals, birds and all about the african culture. There was no question we asked that he did not know the answer. He is also an expert driver in all types of terrain, starting from the wet and muddy conditions to the dry ones. Incredible Safary Experience :) !

This is an amazing tour!! From the lunch, the guide brought us to a really tasty roadside restaurant for lunch that is clean and super tasty food. And the lodge was superb! It was close to the National Park! We saw all the Big 5 and the driver was amazing and focused on having the guests see all of the animals as his goal! This is a once of a lifetime experience I cannot recommend highly enough!
