Fun and memorable experience. Tour guides were extremely friendly. The views from above were breathtaking. I only wished it was longer. But still worth it! They also celebrated my birthday with a cake and song which was very nice. Like a said a MUST experience.

Gorgeous views

What an amazing morning we had. Our pilot Japie was so engaging, funny & knowledgeable. The views were incredible & we even spotted Giraffes & Antelopes. My son & I travelled from Australia; this is definitely a must do. Thank you Japie for a wonderful morning.

Loved it!
