Very efficient and communicative
We were picked up by Theodore from our hotel near OR Tambo Airport and driven to our accommodation in the Kruger. Theodore was really nice and welcoming and gave us all the necessary information. The drive included two stops for toilets/water/food which were really appreciated.
