Efficient - knowledgeable- Informative
5/5

I booked through Lynn Bowers at Safari.Com and she was so helpful - knowledgeable- reassuring and nothing was too much trouble for her which is really comforting - Lynn organised the Tour of the Victoria Falls and the Sunset Tour and the transport arrived on time including the pick up at the Airport- I really appreciated her concern

Warmth & hospitality second to none
5/5

Our stay at Kusudalweni was amazing. From start to finish, we felt so welcome. Mumsie, Sipho, Mary, Sam, Colleen, Chris and the whole team were incredible, and it's clear what a close-knit group they are. Sam and the team have built an amazing establishment. The kids were sad to say goodbye to Mumsie, who was so warm and lovely and we were sad to leave too.

The food was outstanding and the service was great. Our daughter is a picky eater, and the chef was always open and accommodating, happy to whip up something different.

Our room was serviced every day to a high standard. They came in while we were out, then again in the evening to turn down the beds and set up the mosquito nets. The mini bar was restocked daily. The outdoor shower was sensational, we hardly used the indoor one. We also used the jacuzzi on our balcony several times, which was lovely and warm and perfect for sore muscles after a few busy days. The day spa massages were a treat and the gym was basic but fine for a treadmill session.

We changed up our itinerary a few times because of jet lag and the kids struggling, and it was never too much for the team. They made it work and offered helpful suggestions. One small suggestion: a bit more detail on what each activity involves would help. Before we arrived we sent through our desired activities and weren't sure what "Jessica the Hippo" experience was and almost skipped it, but it ended up being one of our top three activities, so we're glad it was recommended.

We're so glad we went with Jolene at safari.com's recommendation. The lodge is about an hour from Kruger and Manyeleti, which was very manageable, and everything was seamless.

We don't regret booking for a second and highly recommend Kusudalweni to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing wildlife and wonderful staff nothing was too much trouble.
5/5

Every detail covered from time of booking to last flight back to Johannesburg. We were well informed prior to trip, internal flights arranged with welcoming meet and greet at arrivals and at the lodge, lovely accommodation great food and hospitality throughout our stay. Every safari ride was unique Sarah and Joseph made sure we saw an unbelievable amount of wild life including the big four, keeping us entertained and enlightened with stories and information on the various wildlife and habitat. Ralf our waiter was both courteous and fun nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend both Simbavati River Lodge and safari.com

Very accomodating, responsive and easy to work with
5/5

My wife and I planned a last minute safari since I was going to be in Joburg for work. Lynn was extremely responsive and accomodating for our requests. She found available options within our price range, helped coordinate the booking and got us all the necessary information. We would definitely use Safari.com for booking a safari adventure again!

One of the best experiences of my life
5/5

I didn’t know what to expect about my trip or the safari- but it was one of the best experiences of my life. I am so glad that I chose to book with safari.com and at the Sausage Tree Safari Lodge- the safari guides, the luxury lodging, the food, everything was wonderful. I had (1) booked very last minute, and (2) had no idea about where I wanted to stay, and Mel was SO helpful.

Safari.com not only booked my stay, but they also booked flights, took care of my data/e-SIM, and travel insurance. The communication and proactivity from the safari.com team was amazing. Highly recommend.

5/5

Jolene from Safari.com was excellent in arranging our safari lodge experience. She spent time listening to our previous experiences, what we were looking for, our budget and requirements for the accommodation and was able to offer a range of options for us to select from. We decided to stay at the Imbali safari lodge, which was excellent. Great value for money and whilst not cheap, we truly felt looked after and would recommend the lodge to anyone looking to visit the Kruger national park.

The park itself was wonderful and gave us a different experience to other national parks we have visited. Animals are not always prominent in number but we were able to find plenty of game as a result of our guide.

An excellent experience all round, cannot recommend safari.com and the people at Imbali lodge enough!

The accommodation and game tours at Inyati were excellent. Games drives managed really well and we saw so much - our guide and tracker were amazing. Food was excellent and plentiful with friendly service.
