Excellent
Seremara Safaris booked a wonderful 3-night safari at Basecamp and Leopard hill. Our guide Tonkei was amazing, we saw leopards, lions, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, hippos, and even a cheetah kill. The basecamp staff and Leopard hill staff were so friendly and kind. We felt so cared for throughout our stay, especially mealtimes.
