Great Pilanesberg Camping + Lesedi
5/5

Everything was well organized. Our guide Dennis was friendly, helpful and informative. The extra visit to Lesedi was also really worth it. All in all a great trip

Where wild animals play the leading role
4/5

The six days in and around the Kruger Park were unique. The transfers were well organized and I felt very comfortable in both lodges (Tremisana and Marc's Tree House). In Tremisana I could observe warthogs and baboons just from my veranda, Marc’s Tree houses are very nicely located along a river and on the way from the main house to the tree house you surely meet some nyalas. Both lodges are well managed and very personable. The game drives were, of course, the highlights of each tour. I was often lucky enough to observe (and photograph) many wild animals in their natural environment such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, black and white rhinos, impalas, kudus and one leopard. For the cheetahs I have to return. The bushwalks were interesting and informative. All guides I met were enthusiastic about their job and educated us a lot of interesting things during both the game drives and bushwalks.

5/5

Our Madikwe Safari experience was wonderful. The booking and transfers to and from the reserve were very smooth. The Bush Lodge was extremely welcoming (including generously providing honeymoon champagne) and our guide was excellent. We had good luck seeing a variety of animals on the drives and at the nearby waterhole. Hopefully we will be able to make it back next time we visit South Africa.

Andre is the best agent!
5/5

When planning my family trip to South Africa, I reached out to many different booking agencies and the professionalism and attention I received from Andre at Safari With Us was by far the best. He walked me through every step of the process, responded to every email in an incredibly timely and detailed manner, and we had the greatest trip! We stayed at the Bush House at the Madikwe Game Reserve and that was absolutely incredible. I can not thank the Safari With Us team enough for helping to put together this incredible trip!

4 Day Kruger Lodge/Treehouse Safari
5/5

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.

Great visual and social experience
5/5

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.

It was an experience of a lifetime.
5/5

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.

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!
