Great Safari and a lovely guide!
5/5

We found the 6 day Kruger, Swaziland and Natal Lodge safari amazing. It was everything we hoped for and more.
The accommodation in each place that we stayed was comfortable, clean and spacious. All were in prime locations (centre of the Safari parks, or near the beach).

The day’s activities were well planned and left enough time not to be rushed. Although it is a bit hit and miss whether you are able to see many animals we did in fact manage to see loads (including the big five). I believe that this was mainly down to our superb guide who was flexible in his approach and took the time to listen to other guides driving around the camps as to any animal sighting.

The food provide for us by the individual safari camps was very nice. All food was properly cooked and tasty. When the Outlook Safaris representative cooked our meals he catered for our individual needs (gluten free and vegetarian) and our tastes. He put a lot of thought into the preparation of the meals.

Everything was great!
5/5

Everything about my experience in Kruger through Outlook was wonderful. It was all high quality, including the guides, drivers, food, and accommodation. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and made for a great experience! Hopefully I can return one day and I would definitely use Outlook again.

Excellent People... beautiful Animals
5/5

I took a chance and booked a 3 day safari with Outlook over the internet and hoped for the best. We certainly got it. The service was fantastic and our pick up in JoBerg was on time and the driver (Edi) friendly to chat with during the drive up to Kruger. Once in the park the staff was really great and the game drives outstanding, we loved our tour guide Debbie. She has a passion for the animals in the park and it shows even though it's "just another day at the office for her." We never felt like she had seen these animals a hundred times. The food was delicious and the wine flowed freely at the evening meal. It's a tremendous value and we would definitely book with Outlook again. *ONE NOTE*...if you're thinking about ending the safari with the Panorama tour ask ahead about the weather. We drove 2 hours out to do the tour and everything was fogged in. It was a complete waste of time, I wish someone had thought to phone up a guide in the area to ask about the visibility, then we would have been better off to stay and do the last game drive. I heard the same conditions applied the next day for the people who opted for the Panorama drive, so again it was a drive to see white out fog.

Surprisingly good
5/5

I booked last minute (a couple of days before leaving the UK) onto a budget safari (the first to respond out of 4 I emailed); it was £300 for 3 days so I thought it would be pretty rough. But it was well organised, the tents were fine, the food was very nice, the staff were friendly and knowledgable and most importantly we had great views of all the animals.

The drives to and from Joburg are a pain - if I was going again I would stay longer but the Safari itself was excellent and I would happily use outlook safaris again in the future.

Great service
5/5

I have been on safari with Outlook this month. It was my 4th trip with them.
The experience was amazing, as always! The communication was quick, friendly, helpfull and with a personal touch. They offer great service for a good prize.
Furthermore, their drivers, guides and other staff are professional and seem will to go the extra mile to make their guests happy. I would highly recommend Outlook!

May in Kruger
5/5

We went with outlook in May of 2013. They exceeded any expections I had for a first trip to South Africa.
All of our arrangements were made via email which they responded to very promptly. We needed flexibility with our day of departure and they were very helpful.
The equipment is first class. You could not ask for a better staff! Debbie was our guide and she is excellent! Our food was perfect each day!
Base camp in Kruger is well located and has anything you may need for your trip.
We plan to return next year and Outlook will again be our choice!
Thank guys for a 5 star trip.

The experience of a lifetime.
5/5

Having travelled extensively I can heartily recommend Outlook Safaris. We have done both the Classic and Explorer series of safaris and of importance to me was being with the guides not only during the drives, but having them about at other hours as well to answer questions ensuring a more complete understanding of nature. The guides are accredited and their knowledge is outdone only by their enthusiasm for the job. The vehicles are high and comfortable. This is significant as they enable one to see into the bush better, especially at times when the grasses are higher. Dinner in the bush by candlelight and a dedicated cook at camp insures an unforgettable adventure. I would also recommend a stay both before and after the safari at Outlook Lodge where Francois will cater to your every need. All in all,the experience of a lifetime.

Best Two Guides in SAfrica
5/5

We (Maria, my wife, Dextor & Daruis my 2 sons and myself) were lucky enough to have 2 of the best guides one could ask for to take look after us during our 4 days stay at Kruger: Debbie Henning and Brettoon Lahner. Everything was perfect.
