Confidence
We booked a 4 day service with Safari with Us from Spain and were worried about the reliability of the service. They were much cheaper than some other quotes received but this is just proof of the fact others are keen to take your money for being tourists. Andre and his team are there for you and go the extra mile with every possible request you could have. Thabo was a great driver and very friendly, making us feel comfortable from the first moment we met him. We were taken from our airport hotel at OR Tambo to Manyane in Pilanesburg nature reserve, had several game drives, a transfer to Sun City, another game drive and then return transfer to OR Tambo, all taken care of by Andre, along with corresponding accommodation reservations. Andre was always available on WhatsApp and his email replying was also exceptionally fast. 110% recommended and my wife has already started to recommend him even to friends in SA!! Don’t doubt and use this company. You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful safari experience with an excellent guide; seamless organization from beginning to end!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Kruger National Park, seamlessly organized by Andre at Safari with Us. Every staff member we met, from our shuttle drivers (shout out to Thabo) to the staff at our Lodge (Thandeka and Nellie deserve special mention), was friendly and helpful.
Our safari guide, Daison, was amazingly knowledgeable and his descriptions (peppered with colourful narrative) made every encounter with wildlife memorable. We managed to see 4 out of the Big 5 and all of the Ugly 5! We enjoyed all the game drives and were so sorry when our time at Kruger came to an end. A big thank you to the whole team for a wonderful experience!

From start to finish, Safari with Us was wonderful!
I cannot say enough about our experiences with Safari with Us. All of the booking was done with Andre whose communication with us was timely and thorough. I did a lot of research to make sure the trip was a good value and that it fit our needs. He was able to modify the trip as opposed to having us do a "one size fits all" tour.
When we arrived in Capetown our guide, Machiel, met us at the airport. For 11 days he took us from Capetown through the Garden Route to Port Elizabeth. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every piece of the trip from food options to flora and fauna to culture to animal sightings to last minute side-trips. He was continually pleasant and upbeat. He didn't simply bring us places, he led us through a completely wonderful exploration of all things South Africa. He had great advice about modifications during 2 rainy days. He added in the extras that made our trip unique, affordable and more than we could imagine. I wish everyone could experience what we did. It was perfect.

You have a friend in Andre!
My dealings with Andre started when I inquired about a Kruger safari. He soon became my go to person for all things travel. Namely, where to stay, what tour to book. He even helped me with a domestic airine booking (its cheaper if you buy locally). We became such good friends that he even met me at the airport just to meet up with me (No charge). In a world of uncertainty, Andre demonstrates rock solid service. My daughter had left a sweater at one of the resort, Andre was reaching out to us and making arrangements for its return, before we even found out it was missing. I could carry on but I want to end by saying I will always have a spare bed for my friend Andre at my house! Thank you for everything, Andre!

Excellent and the most efficient service
I visited Africa 10 times starting from 2001. Safari With Us arranged my African travels starting in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. I traveled with them to South Africa, Botswana and Namibia and plan to do trips to Tanzania in July 2022 and (again) South Africa in September 2022. Every time, their service was absolutely excellent. Their response to emails were almost immediate and professional. Great many thanks to Andre, Debby and Thabo!
Very helpful, flexible and responds quickly
The communication was top notch. We even got flexible offers tailored to us. We were even picked up directly at our apartment. On site everything was also wonderful, the food good, the safaris and drivers nice and generally a very good value package.

All arrangements/activities exceeded our expectations!
We had excellent experiences with all the arranged tours and transfers, for our first visit to South Africa. Andre and the agency were very patient during the process as I navigated how best to coordinate my dates for the activities.
Our first adventure was for a trip to Addo via transport from Port Elizabeth. The transfer was enjoyable as our driver was very friendly and shared his knowledge of the area. The accommodations at the lodge in Addo were wonderful, as were all the staff and the dining hall offerings. Our safari guide Donald in Addo was fantastic, and incredibly knowledgeable and we had such a great day with him. Our additional tours by canoe, and on ATV’s with Chris were also exceptional, even while experiencing a locust swarm! I would definitely return and repeat those visits/tours.
Our time at Kruger went equally as smoothly. Comfortable transfer, great lodge with warm friendly staff and delicious meals also. Our safari experiences there were also very fulfilling and exceeded our expectations. for a “budget” safari we saw the big five on our first trip and left having seen an incredible total of 34 lions during our stay!
I plan to book again with Safari With Us in the future for return trips to S Africa and further! They were so easy to work with and were very patient and communicative in addition to setting us up with top notch services and accommodations at reasonable prices.

Brilliant service so easy to deal with and ensured we had the perfect trip.
We can not fault Safari With Us!!!
JUST AMAZING!!!
From initial communication they listened to what we wanted to do and put together the perfect package for us. Communication was regular and clear and payment was really easy.
We were collected from our hotel,transferred to the bus from JNB to Kruger. The staff were brilliant ensuring all went smoothly.
Our hotel was terrific - every single member of staff were welcoming and really helpful. Merry was fabulous she was always making us laugh and looked after us. The food was plentiful. The pool we only managed to use once but it was very welcome after our full day safari.
The safaris were beyond what we hoped! Seeing wild dogs which we didn't anticipate, lions ( and a kill, poor zebra!) Our guide knew his stuff and went out of his way to start early so we got a good chance to see more animals.
We also did the Panorama tour with Thabo - what a day! stunning!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - just given us a taster and we were left wanting more - we all want to come back as soon as possible.
Thank you to all the team - you made our year.
Once in a lifetime experience!
I cannot say enough about how much I loved my experience and our Safari With Us. If you do this, make sure that you do the Panorama route on your way home. Absolutely stunning views and well worth the time. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to explore (8 hours or so). We did the value safari and the accommodations were just as we expected and well worth the price we paid. Only critique would be that food that was included was not the greatest. I would encourage you to bring some snacks along for the journey.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We are grateful to witness such a wonderful South African experience. Wow. Many thanks for the great support and sending Miranda. She is truly a character and super entertaining im many ways. Everything was arranged to our convenience and pleasure within the giving time schedule. Additional activities were organized within a moment, and we could enjoy the whole time without worrying about arrangements or bookings. The Panorama tour with Miranda was also very special to us as she gave us lots of information, but also kept some private moments for us to enjoy. All in all, a wonderful experience and we would like to come back another time.
