5/5

Hello, we spent our in South Africa at the beginning of February 2019. Our travel agency in Hungary booked us the 5 Day Garden Route Tour, from 6th to 10th of Feb 2019. Our guide was Machiel. We were lucky to have him as our guide throughout the 5 days. He explained a lot, about nature, history, animals, as well. He was always happy. He was very helpful not just with us, but also with other tourists. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our days on our tour very much.

Thanks, Machiel, we wish you all the best.

Greetings from Hungary, from István and Ibolya

Communication was always quick and on point via Email. Everything worked out as planned. We really enjoyed our Safari at Tau Lodge. We definitely recommend booking with this operator.

Everything as described
5/5

Everything was as described or better. We enjoyed our tour guides, each was knowledgeable and tried to fulfill our expectations. Our accommodations were as we expected and very clean. The staff at the lodge and the treehouse were great. The food was good and Collette, the hostess at the treehouse went out of her way to be accommodating and friendly.

Fantastic tour with the best guide
5/5

The Garden route tour was an absolute success. Our guide really made sure we had the best experience in everything we did, whether it was safari driving, bungy jumping, finding great food or having a laugh. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our Garden route tour.

We travelled overland to Sabi Sandi Notten's lodge for a four night stay. We were a family of 5 staying in 2 lodges. The game drives were amazing and we easily spotted the big 5 on more than one occasion ,all up close. The service and quality of the lodges was outstanding , the staff, food and drink amazing. I would highly recommend this Safari. Our driver to and from Johannesburg was friendly and very helpful . We also did a day trip of Johannesburg with Safari With Us

Well organized, excellent guide, good game drives.
5/5

The 3-day Pilanesberg-safari was really good. We are very satisfied, especially with our guide Raymond - he was the best! He was not only a good chef and a nice company, he was also very experienced and told us many interesting things about the animals. A nice guy, always with a smile!
The tents were perfect, much bigger than we thought they would be.
We had good game drives and were lucky to see lots of animals, even lions, Cheetah and Lepard.

My Pilanseberg Safari
5/5

This was my first safari and memorable experience for me. Everything was well organised, and the trip went smooth. Camping made this trip even more fun for me. Our guide Thabo was great at setting up camp, preparing meals and entertaining us.
We were all really excited when we set off in a 15-seater open side vehicle, bumping and bouncing into the wild. Guides were in radio communication, so good sightings could be quickly relayed. One can see many animals on TV wild life channels but that does not compare with the real thing – These close encounters are the real thing. For example when suddenly stopped and came face to face with an inquisitive giraffe looming over the trees.
Then moving on an elephant, lumbering lazily out of the bush, in front of the truck and its wrinkly backside disappearing again. Coming out of winter and after ravaging fire, the park was dry and dusty. The landscape was dotted with shrubs and scarred trees. Guides telling Interesting facts and tales of animals to awe-struck visitors.
Stocky Warthogs, zebra flicking their tales gracefully impala, kudus and wildebeest were showing themselves. Suddenly the guide stepped on the petrol and drove to a nearby thicket of trees, in the shade a male lion licking and loving its mate! Cell phones and cameras clicked, and binoculars went to the eyes! The park boasts of several dams and here we saw plenty: Elephants, buck, zebra. In the distance 6 hippo looking rocks. Later we saw rhino and learnt about the difference between white and black rhino - surprisingly nothing to do with color. Sadly the rhino is under threat due to evil poaching.
When we arrived back at camp, we enjoyed sharing stories around the camp fire. To me this was camping at its best. In conclusion I can say for those who like the outdoor and a Pilanesberg Camping is a great option. And I am glad I booked with Safari With Us. Everything was well organized, and we had fantastic time made even better by personable guides.

Great tour with even better guide
5/5

We had 5 people travel to Kruger, bostwana, and up to Victoria falls in September 2018. We had a fantastic time and Ettienne is a wonderful guide- we would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a personable guide. He truly made our trip memorable. Bostwana, while more expensive than it's neighbors, was the highlight of our trip and for those of you who can spend time in Chobe/Okavango Delta, i recommend that you do that!
