Summary: This was another great tour, the second tour that I did with the same company/guide, Mustafa. The guide at the Three Chiefs statue gave a great presentation with a brief history of Botswana. The game drive was a lot of fun! The ride was very bumpy, definitely not for people with motion sickness, but I loved it. We got to see at least 1 of every animal that the reserve had, with lots of giraffes and several rhinos, and the driver was very respectful of the animal's space. The croc pools river safari was a great way to end the day: cruising down the river in a very relaxed way. Although I booked this tour by myself, I did join with others for the game drive and the croc pools river safari. It was nice to share the experience with others for a bit.

Summary: Great experience. Loved the tour with Mustafa. it was a pity the animals were in hiding during the time of the game drive , the tour guide at Mokolodi really tried. The overall experience was great!!
