Amusing experience
4/5

We liked the trip. It was a good and different experience. But we needed vacations after that "Vacations". Perhaps we did a lot in few days so it was a little wearisome ...
All the guides, drivers, chefs, waitresses were very kind.

Helpful and cheery, variable in communications
4/5

We did self cater, self drive to Kruger.
Service was helpful and upbeat. Booking consultant was very enthusiastic and friendly. Information regarding the cost conservation fees for foreigners could have been more specific. Generally, given we had an unfortunate cancellation the outcome has been favourable and Kruger.com assisted in the credit.

We enjoyed our Kruger visit.

good experience
4/5

it was a very nice and good experience, we would like to thank Pascal a lot in the communications and service.
At the Skukuza rest camp, Debbie was the best hostess, and FJ and Mathew were great at the games drive

one stop for safari in Kruger area
4/5

It was great to be able to have one agency handle all the reservations for our Kruger area trip, including shuttles between Johannesburg and the park and between lodges. The lodges were aware of our shuttle as well so that made it very easy. And I could pay by credit card online, so that was a plus.

Fun Safari
4/5

Bjorn was very helpful with making our arrangements especially since we were on a tight schedule. There was a little miss communication about where they were supposed to pick us up, but it worked out after we called them. The 5-6 hr drive from JNB to Tremisana Lodge was very long in a crowded van. It was exciting to see all the animals on the night and morning game drives. We saw 4 of the Big five. The leopard escaped us. The accommodations were adequate and the food was ok. The staff was great! Overall, we really enjoyed our safari.

We did the 3 day kruger camping safari and it was good!
4/5

Everything was up to expectations and we even saw the Big 5 (bar the white rhino). The tents we stayed in was great, with fan, power source and lights. Showering facilities were a couple minutes of walk away from our tents. We felt safe and secure. Food served was good as well and met plenty of awesome people from around the world as we chatted during dinner. Service from everyone was good as well. However, we were told that in the itinerary we will have a campfire where safaris stories would be shared but that did not happen. All in all, a great value for money!

Great lodging, good food, long van ride to actual lodge
4/5

Safari Bookings was very accommodating and worked around our schedule to provide the best safari experience in our time constraints. We had some issues with communication as we were unaware of the time it was recommended to land in Johannesbrg and we ended up having to cut the safari a day short because of it. There was a 6-7 hour drive from Jburg to the Reserve which we were also unaware of until we got in the van to make the trip at 7am. We would definitely do this again but I recommend flying into an airport closer to Kruger if you want to avoid two whole days of driving in the car to and from the reserve. The safari and Game Drives were amazing! We didn't see the leopard but the open air vehicles and guides were fantastic! The food at Thorn was delicious.

Very good service from Shondre
4/5

Shondre was helpful in every sense and send me all required maps etc. on short notice.
I just think that the tour operators must go and stay in each of those camps and lodges to have first hand experience. Like all of Goverment run places the park and the camps we visited were really way below standard.
The Nkambeni Tented lodge do have lovely food and dinner buffets. But every night at 2.00'and 5.00"there is trains running past the camp. The noise can wake up the dead.

We stayed at the Hilltop camp in hluhluwe game park, and the breakfast was excellent, thanks !
However the plumbing at the ablutions are very bad and need an upgrade.
