Good value and service orientated
We had a good tour on the first day and the lodge was lovely in regards to the bungalow, which was spacious and beautiful. The safari tour on the second day was great and we experienced a lot of views of the big five. The drivers who picked us up and got us back to Johannesburg as well as driving the panoramic tour gave us lots of information, provided great service, and were very reliable and nice! The reservation, communication and the whole organisation through André, the manager was perfect and we can recommend booking a tour with SAFARIWITHUS. Thank you for a great experience!

Andre and his team were stellar and made the whole experience amazing and unforgettable!
If you want a truly amazing experience, book with Safaris With Us. They were meticulous in their organization of every aspect of the tour (communications, itinerary) and so quick to respond to any questions I had (it seemed 24/7). The lodge was superb, all the meals were 5-star quality, all the lodge staff were unbelievably friendly. The drivers and guides were so genuine and engaging.
Thank you!

They are friendly, receptive, and value customer care.
The accommodation was excellent. The safari and tour guide, especially, made for an incredible experience that resulted in a variety of wildlife sightings. The schedule was simple and enough activities for each day. The booking staff were readily available to respond to the needs on customers.

Highly Recommend & Professional
This is my first time on a safari tour and it was incredible. Safari With Us was very professional and made the experience a breeze from start to finish. Everything was on time: shuttle to the airport hotel, Kruger Park, safari drives and return back to Johannesburg. I highly recommend including Sabi Sands night tour since I was able to see the Big 5 between both public/private parks.

BEST MEMORY OF OUR LIVES
I would like to thank the Safari with Us team for their professionalism. We came across their site by chance after searching for a tour operator for several days. It was a great discovery, with a responsive and professional team.
Thank you for this moment.

Perfect Trip to Krueger and Sabi Sand
Andre and team were helpful with customisation of my trip. The friendly drivers were punctual for our transits and they were very cordial on their sharing on the lodging and answered my questions about the country (my first time in South Africa).
Andre responded to my enquiry late in the evening and follow-up immediately with an email - top notch service.
The game drives were perfect! The lodges and people were amazing! The team has done a great job and left us with beautiful memories of the safaris.
We will be back!

Best first safari experience
We booked 3-day Kruger safari departing from Johannesburg. Communication with the company was good, quick and ongoing.
Our stay was at Kruger Adventure Lodge, which was a luxurious lodge with a pool and good included breakfast and dinner.
All included safaris went excellent, we had a great ranger who was invested in ensuring all the best sightings for the group. We saw all big 5 in three days. We entered Phabeni gate, if you want to know.
Transfer from and to Johannesburg was smooth and comfortable.
I overall recommend this firm for a positive safari experience.

The tour operator was informative, friendly and was able to adapt to what we needed for a holiday.
We had good communication for a specific time frame to fit in a short trip to what we describe as the overall best Game reserve in Southern Africa, Madikwe. It is closer to Joburg than Kruger and we had good value on travel costs by being able to be picked up from our suburban Joburg address front door on time and driven by a very pleasant driver to the front door of our first lodge in the game reserve about five hours with a few stops by lunch time. The second night as it worked out due to availability at short notice was spent at a different lodge about half an hour away and the lodges were able to arrange this transfer. So we ended getting to experience two lodges which are both top quality with very experienced staff and guides. There were swimming pools at both lodges for a pre drive swim and meals and drinks were included in the rate. The beauty of this game reserve is you only see two or three other vehicles on a game drive and the sighting system is strictly managed I believe. We saw lions and cheetah during our four game drives but sadly missed out on a leopard and wild dog sighting. But we did see hyena, elephant, giraffe, buffalo and many more. All of the above was included in the quoted rate except for a steepish conservation fee from both lodges.

A lovely time
Really easy to book and organise. I had accommodation the night before and the night after arranged and was kept up to date with the schedule and with any changes.
Pick up from my hotel was nice and easy and then collecting the others from the hotel went smooth.
Adventure Lodge in Hazy view was a lovely place to stay. Good food, comfortable and clean beds and really friendly staff. Overall a really nice experience.
Out safari guide Shadrach was really friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to spot so many animals! including hyena cubs and even a lioness successfully hunting an impala! I know this is partly luck, but Shadrach knew what to look for as the hunt was in progress. Had he have done anything different, we would have missed the event.
Safari with us advertise additional, optional tours (subject to availability), The lodge did not offer a night time tour, but by contacting the company, it was easy enough to arrange, and well worth doing too!
I also did the panorama route which was beautiful and I am so glad I did it. The sights are well worth a visit and we went to The Garden Shed for lunch and the food was delicious!
My only complaint is I wanted to book an additional tour for the morning I was going to leave which is advertised as optional with Safari with us. However, when I tried to book with the lodge I was told unless someone else booked also I couldn't go (or I'd have to pay double). Which I do understand, but I was quite disappointed. I was on the 4 day budget safari, with one day Panorama tour. For this I had one afternoon safari (around 2-2.5 hours) and one day safari (around 6am- around 2:30pm) and I paid extra for the night time Safari. Had I have known I would have booked the 3 day safari and skipped the Panorama tour. I would have liked more safari time included or guaranteed optional somehow.
But otherwise, the transport to and from Johannesburg to the lodge was comfortable and well organised and air conditioned! and there were enough comfort breaks. the hotel options were good, I stayed in the more budget friendly option and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, a positive experience.
