Dream Bandas managed and arranged our 5 Days Kidepo and Ziwa Rhino tour. Excellent communications, great guide Julius and the whole journey with friends was 10/10. The glance at the cheetahs and Ostriches made our tour memorable and left us with nothing to complain about. Ziwa rhinos were also so near we did not trek for so long time.
