I had to bring my safari tour earlier and Benjamini from African Platinum Safari was very helpful and understanding. I managed to go to the safari earlier so I could head back home sooner for a family emergency. I had Barnabas as my tour guide on this private tour, he was very entertaining and he was able to give me enough time to take photos. I would recommend this tour operator to future guests.
