The highlights were truly incredible.

The program not only met but far exceeded my expectations. The highlights were truly incredible, from the viewing of a cheetah making a kill and the treehouse session from the camp to the bushwalks and sundowners. I would recommend Penda, yes. Overall, Alan is a great photography guide and he made the whole holiday a great experience.

The trip was fantastic throughout

The trip greatly exceeded my expectations, as the wildlife viewing and accommodation was fantastic. The highlights of the experience were that we had daily Lion & Elephant sightings, and we also got to witness a Wild Dog hunt. The food & accommodation were amazing and it had a very relaxed feel to the place. I would highly recommend Penda and will be using them again in the future. Overall, the trip was fantastic throughout and the 3 nights in nThambo was a nice addition to the holiday.

The highlights of the experience were the animals.
