Good But Had Some Issues
The safari itself was good and we saw plenty of animals. However, there were some organizational issues at the start and one of the vehicles broke down. Company handled it professionally though.

Good wildlife viewing, Handled problems well, Honest pricing
Could be improved
Vehicle breakdown cost us half a day, Initial confusion at pickup
