Arnold was a very welcoming, cheerful man, but above all a guiding light of knowledge.
5/5

We were picked up right on time by Arnold at our campsite. From the very beginning, he asked if there was anything we wanted to know in advance and what we were hoping to see during the safari tour. He also made it very clear that we should feel free to ask any questions at any time, so he could explain exactly the things that interested us most.

There were four of us, so it truly felt like a private tour. Arnold was incredibly knowledgeable and told us everything about the plants we encountered, the scents we noticed, the animals we saw, and even about the effects of the flooding on the trees that were standing underwater. All of it was absolutely fascinating.

On top of that, he really went above and beyond and put so much effort into helping us see the things we hoped to see. Of course, nature has a will of its own and there is only so much influence a guide can have, but the effort Arnold made for us was truly exceptional.

He also shared an incredible amount of insight into animal behavior, especially elephants — how to recognize certain behaviors, what they mean, and how their lives unfold. It was genuinely inspiring to hear him speak with such passion about nature and wildlife.

He gave us an experience and with that memories that will stay with us forever!

Arnold knows a lot about the animals.
He takes all the time and will do everything to make everyone happy and to let you see as much as possible.
Arnold is looking for places and spots wher’s no one else.
We loved it very much and will recommend it to everyone!
Real value for money and a lot of fun with Arnold. We’ve enjoyed as well the afternoon drive as the morning drive.

A great game drive with a very knowledgeable host
5/5

Arnold, our driver and game drive guide, arrived on time and greeted us enthusiastically. His vehicle is very comfortable and well-maintained.
During the drive he pointed out animals, trees and plants, plying us with interesting information and enjoyed answering our questions.
He is a careful and considerate driver both for his passengers and the environment.
We thoroughly enjoyed our drive and would happily recommend using African Big Five Tours and Safaris

Just fantastic!
5/5

We stayed in Magotho Camp and booked our tour last minute. Arnold showed up from a long drive early in the morning to our camp 15 mins before the agreed time and showed us the area looking for wildlife. We really enjoyed his patience and his company. We were with a group of 6

Our guide Arnold is very knowledgeable and an awesome guide.
5/5

We had a great time with Arnold! He is a nature lover and the type of guide you want to be with. We found a male lion lying in the sun above the ground perched on the horizontal trunk of a tree.
It was such an epic moment and we took amazing pictures. The lion watched the sunset and then walked past us to get a drink of water. What a thrill!
Thanks Arnold!

Adventurous
5/5

Having an adventure where your guide is well equipped with knowledge is top tier. The hospitality was excellent. The environment neat. Safety was not an issue because that was covered, so one would feel at ease. Gazing at the stars under the camp fire while barbecuing, listening to the hippos splash while in the ponds from a distance and listening to all the other animals making their sounds, makes one appreciate the different aspects of life offers. Wouldn't mind another trip to the place again. Thank you Khwai. Thank you African Big 5 Tours and Safaris. Until we adventure again together.

The tour operator is a dedicated team delivering unforgettable wildlife experiences through exceptio
5/5

Our experience during our stay was nothing short of magnificent. The camping Sites were comfortable and well-situated , providing a perfect sanctuary after a day of adventure. The game drives were particularly exhilarating; we were fortunate to witness a diverse array of wildlife in their natural habitat, from graceful giraffes to majestic lions.

What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional team. Each member was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. They were knowledgeable about the local wildlife and eager to share insights, which enhanced our overall experience. Their support made us feel valued and welcomed, adding a personal touch to our stay.

I highly recommend African Big Five Tours and Safaris for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying top-notch hospitality.
