This is a short slide show with pictures taken during the second half of my last Custom Luxury Tour.
These images were taken at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve, in the Kruger National Park, and in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. My guest from Nashville, Tennessee, USA and I had a great time. Enjoy the show with a few impressions of this trip specially designed for my 82-year-old client!
‘Her second Custom Luxury Tour with me as her guide was another trip of a life time’. This is how Irene, my 82 year old guest from the USA, characterized her 20 day stay in South Africa.
The picture above is one of her favorite images I took at Sabi Sabi together with a few trip stats.
I will publish a detailed trip report on my blog soon.
