Dulema tented camp
Honestly in my opinion the only good thing about this camp was the girl managing the place named lihle and the lady preparing the food(rulani),The place looked kinda abandoned and no employees there but to be fair we liked the peace and quite atmosphere of the camp and the bed was comfortable so we had a good night sleep thanks to our tour organizer( lavender) who was kind enough to change our accommodation from tent to a chalet when she saw how disappointed we were.
Kruger safari guide named happy chappy🤣 was good and energetic but unfortunately it was windy and we didnt see any cats.
We still have 6 days left with Moafrica and hopefully they will meet our expectations but so far it was bare minimum as we come from 20 days safari all over kenya and Tanzania and I have good examples to compare this tour to.
So wait for my reviews on victoria falls, Johannesburg and cape town with this operator.

Great service overall
The tour was great and the wildlife guides were knowledgeable and did their best to search for different species. The comfort breaks were well appreciated. Going home from the lodge was stressful as we had to changed vehicles for 3-4 times. But we're glad that they arranged a car to take us directly back home halfway of the journey.

Amazing experience
atmosphere at sekekama is very relaxed. the tents are spacious and beds very comfy. we enjoyed every meal prepared from the kitchen. the combination of game drive in a private reserve and in Kruger national park provides a 360 degree experience. very good offer to simply enjoy safari and connection with nature .
Swift, responsive, and hassle free
We did a half day Soweto tour with Nomonde and we had a great experience. It was totally eye-opening to see how the daily lives are in Soweto, with all the historical background about the area and the people. Cheers and thanks for taking care of us, Nomonde!

Responsive and fun tour operator
We first got in contact with Ruben from sales after putting in an inquiry on the website. He was upfront, straight to the point and very helpful all the way through out the entire trip. Even when there was a minor hiccup while collecting us from the airport, Ruben responded by checking for us on the situation.
Value for money
- I feel that MoAfrica tours was very reasonable in terms of the quality of accommodation vs the price that you pay. (This is after researching on various tour operators as well comparing to more DIY options)
- we stayed at Radisson Safari Hotel - standard room
- Very new, clean and modern hotel. Would recommend it.
Fun
- our guide and Driver Mr Lamb was the most funny, chill guy who made our full day game drive really memorable.
- you can tell from the way that he manoeuvred the vehicle the man’s excitement for big cats like the lions and he would drive ahead of other vehicles to get you to the best spot for viewing the Lion’s hunt of impalas (we were lucky to witness a chase)
- Overall very fun and pleasant trip for our second game drive experience
- things he could improve on would be to stop for longer for small we animals and birds. (Sometimes I felt that he drove off too fast)
- would recommend Mr Lamb!

Caring and enthusiastic
Lamby was our guide. One day for Kruger safari and one day for paranoma view. He is a very excited guide to bring us to see the animals in the safari. He made sure we got a good view and different angles. He has also a very cheerful attitude !

Memorable Kruger Safari
We booked a 5-day Kruger safari and stayed at the Radisson Safari Hotel. Ruben our MoAfrika contact was very helpful with our booking and ensuring a smooth reservation process. However we did have to follow him up to let us know when our balance payment was due. The hotel was luxurious, had a comfortable superior room, served good food at the Mirage restaurant and had friendly and helpful staff. Special mention here for Portia, our server at Mirage. Her cheerfulness and pleasant demeanor made us want to always sit in the area she was assigned to. The only downside to this hotel: slippers and bathrobes were not complimentary in the superior rooms. Front desk told us these were available only in the premium rooms.
Day 1 had us on a Sunset Drive in a private game reserve. Our tracker Gift and guide Terrence pulled all the stops in getting us to spot a lot of wildlife like impala, zebra, giraffe and 2 of the Big 5: elephant and lion which was just a few meters away from our vehicle! Terrence would run over dead trees and bushes to make our own road as Gift pointed out the way where certain animals were spotted.
On Day 2 we did our Kruger Game Drive. Note that Radisson is about an hour away from the Kruger gate that we used. So leaving the hotel at 5:30 am in 11°C weather, speeding down the highway at 80 kph in an open top vehicle was freezing cold! The ponchos provided by our guide Lambs did little to keep us warm. But shortly after the sun rose as we entered the national park, we spotted a group of cheetahs - a few adults and some cubs. It was an exhilarating start to the safari. Lambs was as informative as he was funny in describing the wildlife and explaining their behavior patterns. He was so determined to find us the elusive leopard and rhino but it wasnt meant to be. Instead we got to see the Cape Buffalo, the 3rd of the Big 5. Aside from this animal, we saw hippos, gnu, zebra, ostrich, wildebeest, and many more wild animals roaming free all around us, some like the giraffes and elephants were just on the side of the road. We even saw a herd of elephants cross the road just as we were passing through. Seeing 3 out of the Big 5 and all the other magnificent creatures made this Game Drive a superb experience. Also worth noting: unlike the Sunset Drive on D1 where the guide and tracker would drive the jeep into dense bushes and undergrowth, the guide in Kruger was allowed to use only the paved and gravel roads. He isn't allowed to drive into the brush if looking for wildlife to spot. Also, Kruger is a very safe place. We could leave our bags and jackets in the jeep while having lunch, and when we came back, everything was where we left them.
The Panorama Route on D3 took us to some very breathtaking sights. The Blydes Canyon, God's Window, Potholes, etc were all awesome places to see. It was so hard to capture the natural beauty of the landscape in photographs. Our guide was Gustaf, a very competent and safe driver. We just wish he could provide more information about the places we were seeing such as origins of the names and other significant info about the places. But in fairness to him, he would provide as much info as he could when we had questions.
Day 4 and 5 were spent at the hotel, going for an energizing workout session at the well-appointed gym, and taking a relaxing treatment at the spa.
All in all, this was an unforgettable trip, with a few areas for improvement, but the good things far outweighed the bad. Shout out to Life, our van driver who picked us up and brought us back to the airport. Starting and ending with him gave us a nice overview of Kruger and an apt way to fill in the blanks for more info that we may had missed during our stay.
