Review of Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve’s 2-hour safari, with rhinos, giraffes, hippos, zebras and crocodiles for $55.
“Really nice facility and park. Game Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. For the price, it really is a great deal. We had the opportunity to see a good variety of animals. Visiting from Canada, we wanted to do a Safari near Kruger but couldn't make it work. This obviously wasn't that, but it was a great first experience and helped fill the void until next time. Highly recommend if you're in Plett - for the price you might as well try it.”
