Game drives, particularly with Keegan, are an immersive experience, blending enthusiasm with genuine knowledge of the reserve's inhabitants. The setting itself, overlooking the waterhole with its constant activity, provides a beautiful backdrop to what is undoubtedly a deeply comfortable and well-attended stay.”
