Gracepatt tours were amazing with tailoring my needs as a photographer. I had Timothy as my guide/driver who was an amazing person to have along side with on this awesome solo journey! He gave great information on animals, and knew where he was going on the big national parks! I saw the big 5 all in one day. Highly recommended

02-Nov-2024

They don’t provide services as promised. They have promised me a 4X4 Land cruiser for my group booking, but they sent a van quoting that they do not have enough people in the group and hence they will be at loss if they send a land cruiser. The van did not have insurance and we were pulled over by the police and we had to stand on the road in red hot sun for 2 hours. I would not recommend this company at all. They are not responsive and just seenzone you
