    This was an absolutely incredible experience. Very much unique and one of a kind adventure. The WOW tour was one of the best tours we have done and would highly recommend it. The accommodation was wonderful with a great room and the view of Hummer the giraffe was fantastic for us and the children. The food was so very well done and they took into account all allergies and food intolerances. Would come back again in a heart beat!…
