The Big five an amazing experience
What can I say..... What an amazing experience. The communication before I went was spot on, Andre's instructions were clear, precise and when I arrive at the airport everything went like he said it would. I had the pleasure of meeting andre while out in South Africa. He is a top bloke, who is very passionate about South Africa and will do anything to make sure you have an enjoyable time and that you are happy with everything.
The safari was everything I wanted it to be with in the first three hours of the safari we saw all of the big five. We saw countless animals; lions, buffalo, leopards, elephants (x20 and in herds), Giraffes, Rhinos (at a distant lol), Warthogs, Empla's, Waterbucks. The animals were so close it, it was brilliant. The safari staff were great and their ability to spot the animals is just incredible.
I wasn't really knowing what to except when it came to the accommodation. But I can report I was very happy, not 5 Star, But clean comfortable and the service from the staff was amazing, really 5 star. I really felt like they cared about my experience.
Lastly if your thinking about about going on safari do it, It will truly be the experience of a life time and If you choose South Africa, use safaribooking.com YOU won't regret it.

Fantastic Experience at Pilanesburg National Park
We arrived at the airport and were met by Dennis, who, throughout the whole tour, was incredible. He drove us to our lodge, entertaining us with stories throughout the journey and giving us a real insight into real South African life as we travelled towards Pilanesburg.
We arrived at the park and were given the option of a guided (by Dennis) drive tour before sunset. Despite travelling from the UK all day and the long journey, we were anxious to go on safari. On our first drive, we saw a huge Bull elephant and the elusive Leopard. Dennis seemed genuinely awestruck as he explained that the Leopard was so rarely seen! it was a pleasure to get to know him throughout our tour. He was completely happy to answer any questions and nothing was too much for him. We were treated to sightings of four of the big five (did not see the water buffalo) on our 4 day safari. I would unreservedly recommend this company and Dennis as an option for any Safari in South Africa. It was manageable and close enough to Johannesburg for our relatively short time in SA. Keep doing what you're doing!
thank you so much,
Jeremy and Laura

relaxing nonexpensive luxury sarari tour
I join the 3-Day Madikwe Luxury Safari tour in April 2016 and find the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. The arrangement of Safari with us is good starting from the helping of booking subsequent day trip and hotel in Johannesburg .
The 2 of us were picked up by a friendly driver in the airport at good time . then drive in a private car directly to our lodging place in Madikwe in 3+ hours.( a bit far away ) . We have a break half way for some snack.
The guest house , namely“ Bush House” is great which is a small bungalow type of building housing up to ~18 guests.
I love the rich green grassland in the front of the courtyard, the small yet clean swimming pool and the underground hide next to a fresh water pond that you can watch in close proximity the elephants, buffalos that came to drink many times a day.
The breakfast , and dinner are of good quality and the morning and evening game drive is exciting yet relaxing .
I was impressed with the special floral arrangement and preparation of cake for our wedding anniversary .For the cerebration dinner , two of us spend a romatic night sitting under the moon beside the courtyard with animals in sight not too far away.
Both of us like the trip very much and hope we can return some years later .
Amazing
Andre was super helpful and delivered exceptional customer service. He was quick to reply to my emails. We visited Madikwe Game Reserve for 3 days and stayed at Motswiri. It was our first safari experience and our (already high) expectations were far exceeded. The lodge is beautiful and the staff are friendly, accommodating, and happy people. I will definitely refer my friends to Andre and Safari With Us.

Amazing experience in Africa
I had the best Travel agency to do a African Safari! Andre was the best travel agent and gave me the answers I needed very quickly and efficient! Thanks to Safari With Us to provide me such a great time in Africa!! Amazing!!!!
Wonderful experience
With very short notice, Andre arranged a wonderful trip for us. The lodges, meals, guides, and safari were perfect, very well organized, and the staff was very competent and attentive. And, of course, the animals were amazing!

It was an experience of a lifetime.
I have been looking on going on a photo safari for quite some time now and I really enjoyed my time in Kruger National Park. We saw a nice variety of animals and the drivers and guides were fantastic. The rooms were good and the food was home made and tasty. I was picked up promptly at the airport in Johannesburg on my arrival and dropped off at my hotel in Johannesburg as well. Everything was organized and well run. I plan on taking another safari at some point and would book again with Safari With Us without hesitation.

Great visual and social experience
Our three day safari in Kruger was one of the best experiences of our trip: we had a couple of very lucky sightings, including a lion roaming right next to the road and a number of hyenas trying to muster up a fight against a lion. We only saw 4 out of the big 5 but our guide that day hustled really hard to try and find us the last (leopard). The tour was well-organized and we felt well-taken care of. The bush meal on the first night and the tree house living on the second were two really nice touches. We also met a lot of people over our three days, all of whom were really fun and interesting; it was a pleasure crossing paths with them. My only complaint would be that the tour is billed as three days, even though you don't do anything except a short walk before returning home on the third day.

4 Day Kruger Lodge/Treehouse Safari
When researching various tour operators that offer safaris, Safari With Us was by far the most professional and organised. I felt 100% confident booking my safari through them, thanks to Andre, who offered almost immediate responses to my numerous emails and could provide me with all information I required, answering my many questions. I was really looking forward to the safari and was not disappointed in the slightest! My transfer arrived at the specified time and although the journey is long, it is broken up by various short stops and the drivers took time to explain what we were driving past and could also answer questions about the local area. The accommodation (Tremisana and Marc’s Tree House) is very basic, but comfortable. They offer contrasting experiences, as one night is spent in a chalet and the other two nights are spent in a tree house, deep out in the thick of the bush. The staff were exceptionally attentive to our needs and went out of their way to ensure our stay was as pleasurable as possible. The game drives were simply unforgettable. The guides are very experienced with eyes sharper than a hawk, which guaranteed us lots of sightings. I saw four of the big five and numerous other beautiful animals and birds too. One of the game drives was very chilly (end of March) and therefore I would definitely advise to bring a warm jumper and long trousers! Equally, the bush walks were educational and very informative for those interested in botany. As a solo female traveller, I was concerned I might feel slightly isolated, however on my safari I was with a fantastic group of people, all varying in age and nationality. We all had a lot of fun together and some friendships have been formed. I cannot thank Safari With Us enough for fulfilling this lifelong dream of mine and creating many beautiful memories that I shall never forget.
