Stanford was happy to stop for us to take photos and to point out animals as we travelled along. We arrived at the border and were escorted through the crossing where we then met our guide Cobra who was amazing! Our jeep safari was fantastic and we saw many animals including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and countless zebra and impala. Cobra was very knowledgeable and personable and helped us learn more about the National Park. Lunch which was provided was buffet style and was delicious.…”
