Amazing for large groups!
We've used Safari With Us for 3 years now and have loved working with them. They're so great at going above and beyond when things go wrong and making sure our groups are safe and having fun. They always have great ideas for us and our group of youth. Andre is easy to communicate with and always available. And their prices are great and right within our budget for our humanitarian groups! I would highly recommend working with them again!

Perfect value for money safari
Nice experience! Good communication with the organiser! Value for money! The lodge and food amazing! Our drivers (the one who drove us from Johannesburg to the lodge and back and the one who drove us in the safari area where amazing! Our safari driver was really knowledgeable about animals of the region ) would totally recommend this tour organiser!

very responsive and flexible
Really helpful customer service and excellent value travel company. Made my experience in Botswana and Zambia very memorable during COVID traveling times. Good connections to knowledgeable local on the ground tour people and drivers who know the African landscape of their countries and cultures really well, highly recommend for all types of travel through Africa.

First Safari - A Wonderful Experience
My experience with Safari With Us was absolutely amazing. I wish there was a rating above Excellent! Andre was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was quick to respond to every email and so helpful in planning this wonderful experience. Our transfer from Johannesburg to Madikwe Game Reserve was with Thabo. He was so kind and took the time to tell us interesting things about Johannesburg and the other areas we passed through. He even stopped to point out animals while driving to and from the Lodge through Madikwe. We stayed at Motswiri Private Safari Lodge and it was PERFECT! Our room was beautiful, it overlooked their water hole so we watched elephants, zebra, giraffe and even water buffalo come for a drink. The staff was so kind and thoughtful, the food was delicious and the game drives were so much fun. I highly recommend Safari with Us - it was truly an experience of a lifetime!

Awesome
Everything about it was just great, from the initial contact with Safari with us, the detail was exactly as described. The pick up and drop off driver was excellent and very friendly, he had to deal with a puncture and an elephant causing a traffic holdup and on the return journey got us to the airport in plenty of time. The lodge was outstanding as were the staff and our safaris topped the holiday by giving us the big 5. Thank you so much, I’ve already recommended them to one of my friends thinking of going next year and will not hesitate to do so again.
Way better than expectation
It was my first trip to SA with very less information in my head. I randomly picked Safaribookings.com by the friendly layout of the page and picked Safari With us by affordable price and traveling period. I knew nothing and I asked quite a lot. Appreciated that your website provided me a good answer and I got many email correspondences with Safari with us that made me feel comfortable and filled me with useful information. Anyway the most important thing is the actual trip that was amazing in every way. The door to door transit were great. I absolutely love every minutes in the trip. Because my biology clock is 5 hr ahead the dinner were always a bit too big but very good. Tour put me and my friend in the small group with another nice couple for the whole trip which made me feel very comfortable. For the Safari, even tough our guides know that it's my first Safari which will make me happy with everything but I can sense that they still tried to give us the best experience in just a short time that we had. (We saw 4 from the big 5 in 3 days trip which is exactly as I was informed before that the chance is 80%.)
This trip makes me one of the fan of South Africa and will always be.

Safari With Us exceeded all expectations. Faultless and Professional!
Our 3 day stay at Madigwe Game Reserve was arranged to perfection. The Safari was tailored to meet our needs and the numerous communications were amazingly prompt and informative.
Our driver to Madigwe Thabo was simply the best! Nothing was too much trouble and he was a wealth of information.
Payment for our tour was made through a secure website which was a bonus, as many other (legitimate) tour operators requested credit card details by email.
Numerous and varied bookings were made for our 4 week adventure in South Africa, but Safari With Us by far, stood out as the best to deal with.
Thank you Andre Retief and your team of professionals.
Simply excellent!!

Everything as described
Everything was as described or better. We enjoyed our tour guides, each was knowledgeable and tried to fulfill our expectations. Our accommodations were as we expected and very clean. The staff at the lodge and the treehouse were great. The food was good and Collette, the hostess at the treehouse went out of her way to be accommodating and friendly.

Amazing, stress-free and well-coordinated trip!
I can't praise this company enough - I would highly recommend Safari With Us to everyone!! My 4 friends and I had an incredible experience in Botswana and Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls). Andre was communicative and responsive via email and the entire trip was well-coordinated. You can leave it to them and they will take care of you. We loved Tanya, our driver/guide in Botswana - he made our trip so memorable and personal. Our 7-day trip was, in my opinion, about middle-tier prices. We stayed at a wide range (outdoor non-AC tents to hotels to nice lodges) and I thought the quality of our hotels/meals/safaris were solid and went beyond my expectations. A typical day would consist of driving for several hours (we had to cover a lot of ground) and 1 activity (e.g. safari, river boat cruise, interactive dinner). We felt the activities and accommodations were well-varied and balanced. Overall, it was such a stress-free and fun trip! In addition, I left some clothes in Zimbabwe and Tabo/Tanya/Andre coordinated over the course of several months to send them back to me in the United States!
If you are thinking about taking a safari trip, I would highly recommend taking it with them!

Pilanesberg Private Safari!!!
Andre did a phenomenal job planning a three day two night luxury safari for us!!! We had two major obstacles - my wife was pregnant (we could not take anti-malaria medication) and we have a two and half year old daughter. Andre found a four star lodge in a malaria free zone and arranged private safaris for us. Once in Africa, every step of the way, the process was flawless. He is great with communication and e-mail.
