点评:"Welcome to my office". That is the magical opening line with which our fantastic and highly skilled guide Sipho Khoza begins the visit to the wonderful Kruger National Park. And with this phrase and while pointing to the majestic landscape of his "office", you know you are about to embark on an unforgettable experience. And that's exactly what it is, because right away the car follows a hint, the trail of a lion which Sipho has spotted from a distance, the unequivocal footprints that mean the lion is nearby. And off we go! Often talking on the radio in coded language, in a perfectly orchestrated communication network with the other guides, Sipho tips the others about the lion, and the others tip him about rhinos, zebras, elephants or perhaps a family of hyenas down the road, all in a coded language that never reveals the species of the animal kingdom: it's all about sharing, and all about surprise. But wait! Sipho stops the car, a high vehicle that comfortably seats ten people (in the early morning, he gives us blankets, always making sure we are comfortable, in the afternoon he offers cold bottles of water), takes his binoculars and scratches his head. "The lion was here a few hours ago", he says, with the voice of an experienced hunter. And off we go again! This time, much faster, to the phrase "Ferrari Safari!" And as we promptly arrive, we see other cars around the corps of a giraffe being devoured by a group of lions! Sipho once again uses his amazing driving skills, turning left, then right, then backing up, and finally stopping just in front, in the perfect spot, to see and take pictures. He's a master guide! Patient, polite and with a great sense of humor. We had the wonderful luck of having him for three full days in a row and the experience every time was unbelievable. We saw the Big Five, which is in itself quite an accomplishment. I highly recommend CD TOURS, for their impeccable organization, punctuality and professionalism. We were picked up every morning at 5:00 AM from our lodge. Sipho was always on time (if there is something he hates, it is being late!), and the three times we were the very first vehicle to enter the Park. Punctuality has its rewards. The best tours my wife and I have taken! Sipho Khoza is the best of the best! Highly recommended.
翻译:“欢迎来到我的办公室”。这是我们的出色且技术精湛的导游 Sipho Khoza 开始参观克鲁格国家公园的神奇开场白。听到这句话,并指着他“办公室”的壮丽景色,您就知道您将开始一段难忘的体验。事实也确实如此,因为车子马上就跟着一个提示,Sipho 从远处发现了狮子的踪迹,这些明确的足迹表明狮子就在附近。我们出发了!Sipho 经常用密码语言在收音机上交谈,在与其他导游完美协调的通信网络中,Sipho 向其他人透露了狮子的情况,其他人则向他透露了路上有犀牛、斑马、大象或鬣狗家族的情况,所有这些都是用密码语言进行的,从不透露动物王国的物种:这一切都是为了分享,为了惊喜。但是等等! Sipho 停下车,这是一辆可以舒适地坐下十个人的高大车辆(早上,他给我们毯子,总是确保我们坐得舒服,下午,他给我们提供冰镇水),拿起望远镜,挠了挠头。“狮子几个小时前就在这里了”,他用经验丰富的猎人的声音说道。然后我们又出发了!这次,速度快了很多,说的是“法拉利狩猎!”我们很快就到了,看到其他汽车围着一头长颈鹿尸体,它们正被一群狮子吞食!Sipho 再次发挥了他惊人的驾驶技术,左转,然后右转,然后倒车,最后停在前面,在完美的位置,观察并拍照。他是一位大师级的导游!耐心、礼貌,幽默感十足。我们很幸运能和他一起连续三天,每次的经历都令人难以置信。我们看到了五大动物,这本身就是一项相当大的成就。我强烈推荐 CD TOURS,因为他们的组织、准时和专业精神无可挑剔。每天早上 5:00 有人从我们的住处接我们。Sipho 总是准时(如果有什么他讨厌的事情,那就是迟到!),而且有三次我们是第一批进入公园的车辆。准时是有好处的。这是我和我妻子参加过的最好的旅行!Sipho Khoza 是最好的!强烈推荐。
