5.0/5It was my first time in SA and i wanted to experience the bush following a family wedding. I was really nervous as i am not really a traveller and was doing this part of the trip alone. When i found Rochelle at Safarilife, she put me at ease answering my billions of questions as i needed every detail before committing to the booking. Rochelle and Safarilife put the itinerary together for me so i knew what was going on and where i was going and I had the best weekend ever at the lodge.
