Absolutely THE BEST experience of our lives, all thanks to Panthera!!
5/5

We had ABSOLUTELY THE BEST holiday ever with Panthera Photo Safaris!! South Africa is such a beautiful country with a lot to offer! From the stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, to the diverse wildlife, every experience seems to be one for the books. It’s truly special that Panthera tailors your trip to your interest and budget. Their personalized approach allows you to fully immerse yourself in the South African adventure doing exactly what you want to do.

While it can be completely overwhelming to plan such a special holiday, working with Panthera melted away all the fear of the unknowns and anxiety that comes from planning a big trip so far away from home in an unfamiliar country. Lance and Kirstin are not only professionals on every level, they are compassionate, fully invested conservationists who are helping to ensure the South African Safari experience will continue to live on for generations to come. They are also extremely passionate about making your travel experience unique and beyond your wildest expectations. Literally every detail was perfect!!

I cannot more highly recommend Panthera for planning your Safari. Another huge benefit to traveling with Panthera is they also have so many places around the world to go and see incredible places, people and animals. Rest assured we are already planning our next adventure with Lance and Kirstin. We may have met them as clients, but we left as extended family after developing such a strong bond. That’s what travel is all about, isn’t it? Creating wonderful memories, having a positive impact on the places you travel to and forming connections that will last a lifetime!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Lance and Kirsten, your creation of Panthera Photo Safaris has forever changed me and my family, for the better!!

Informative and great knowledge of the bush and wild animals
5/5

I had such a awesome experience at Walkers and Lance has so much knowledge of the bush and finding good sightings of wild life and photography skills. Kirstin is such an excellent host so kind and caring and absolutely wonderful chef taking care of your every needs. I also subscribe to the Panthera patroen account that does the most amazing charity work for rehabilitation for poached and injured animals. I was very fortunate to meet Lilly the pangoline that was poached and needed medical assistance and through my subscription this was possible.

The best safari experience I ever had with great company
5/5

We had a great trip with Lance and Kirstin! Mashatu was beautiful with fields of yellow flowers everywhere and animals everywhere. The price was totally worth it, the food was tasty, the service was great and the guides nice. If you want to make a nice trip to this area, I can definitely recommend Panthera Safaris!

Fantastic value for money
5/5

We had a great trip where everything went smoothly and was well organized. The photography opportunities were excellent and Lance was always on hand to help you get the best shot and to help with the different settings of your camera to optimize your photos. The accommodation was excellent and comfortable and the meals were interesting and varied. We were well looked after by Lance and Kirsten and would highly recommend Panthera Photo Safaris for an unforgettable African safari

We have traveled all over the world (5 continents) with Lance on safaris!
5/5

To give you my history, I have traveled all over the world with Lance on safaris and the trips somehow get better every time. We have been to 5 continents already and are looking at the last two! This trip was a return to Africa and to tell you we had the most amazing time. The lodge, animals, new and old friends, food, pics, experience…. It was amazing.

For price, it was very comparable! I would never choose the cheap ones because I prefer a comfy, clean, and well protected safari camp in the bush that I can relax, unwind, and make new memories! However Kirstin at Panthera Photo somehow always manages to make it all work out and on my budget too! They have provided transport and trip scheduling also, making my travel so much more enjoyable. For the pandemic they arranged Covid tests for each leg of our journey, actually brining the nurse to the lodge.

Even when small travel mishaps happen…. Let my card reader at home, they work it all out. It’s a game changer. Go for the animals and come back time and again for the experience and new friends!

Last thing…. Spring for the private jeep if it’s an option…. It’s a game changer! Safari takes on a whole new spin.
