“Yad, the guide was great as were the drivers; we spent just the right amount of time at each stop but we could have used a bit more time for lunch; the steak BBQ at the end of day around sunset was great and there was plenty of food, wine, beer, and sparkling wine; we arrived around midnight in Alice so it's a very long day”
