点评:Nearly two months after our 7 day Kgalagadi/Augrabies safari in October 2025, my husband and I are still enjoying reflecting on this trip. It was an exceptional experience, enhanced by Lizmarie's efficiency in booking our accommodation and organising the tour, and by the outstanding attributes of our guide, Jakes.
We cannot speak highly enough of Jakes. He was always extremely considerate of our needs, and went out of his way to ensure our trip was comfortable and rich in game viewing opportunities. Jakes shared his extensive knowledge of the history, geology, flora and fauna of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Augrabies, and Upington area - we learned so much from him. Jakes is also an excellent cook! He thoughtfully overcame the challenge of catering to our low-gluten dietary requirement in an area with limited options and spoiled us with unfailingly delicious, healthy meals every day. To top it all, Jakes is wonderful company and a thoroughly nice person to spend time with.
All the camps we visited were efficiently-run, the shops well-stocked, and the accommodation clean and comfortable. We stayed at the Kalahari Tented Camp, Twee Rivieren, Nossob, and Augrabies. Hard to pick a favourite, but it probably would be Nossob - for the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful sunrises, starry night skies, and plentiful game sightings. Additional highlights were our stops at Ashkam, Kakamas, and Die Mas.
For us, this was the trip of a lifetime (although we are determined to do it again). We would not hesitate to recommend it!
翻译:距离我们2025年10月为期7天的卡拉哈迪/奥格拉比斯野生动物园之旅已经过去了近两个月,我和丈夫仍然沉浸在这次旅行的美好回忆中。这是一次非凡的体验,这要归功于Lizmarie高效的住宿预订和行程安排,以及我们优秀的向导Jakes。
我们对Jakes赞不绝口。他总是非常体贴我们的需求,竭尽所能确保我们的旅程舒适愉快,并让我们有机会充分观赏野生动物。Jakes对卡拉哈迪跨界公园、奥格拉比斯和乌平顿地区的历史、地质、动植物了如指掌,我们从中受益匪浅。Jakes还是一位出色的厨师!在当地餐饮选择有限的情况下,他巧妙地克服了我们低麸质饮食的挑战,每天都为我们准备了美味又健康的佳肴。更重要的是,Jakes是一位非常棒的旅伴,和他在一起的时光总是令人愉悦。
我们参观的所有营地都管理得井井有条,商店货源充足,住宿干净舒适。我们入住过卡拉哈里帐篷营地 (Kalahari Tented Camp)、特维里维伦 (Twee Rivieren)、诺索布 (Nossob) 和奥格拉比斯 (Augrabies)。很难选出最喜欢的,但或许应该是诺索布——那里氛围宁静,日出美景令人叹为观止,夜空繁星点点,而且野生动物种类繁多。此外,我们在阿什卡姆 (Ashkam)、卡卡马斯 (Kakamas) 和迪马斯 (Die Mas) 的停留也令人印象深刻。
对我们来说,这是一次毕生难忘的旅行(尽管我们决心再来一次)。我们毫不犹豫地推荐它!
