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.

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!

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

“Kruger Luxury Safari”

“We booked a luxury Kruger Park safari through Safari With Us and we were very satisfied with the way they handled the booking and related payments. any queries were quickly addressed
We had a really good if not exhausting time and had some good sightings. Pondoro Lodge is beautiful we absolutely loved it and can highly recommend. Nice food and lots of it and really helpful staff. Great views over the river.
However the drive to Kruger was much muchlonger than expected. We were the first to be picked up and there were many other pick-ups on the way out. If we did this again we will fly. Our overall safari experience was lovely
On arrival on the first night we had to ask for a room to freshen up in as we were luxury guests and not staying at the place we had the night safari at. the staff were really helpful however.

Our bush walk was very short, 45 minutes stroll around the river and we were a little disappointed. Thank you Andre for all your help

2-day Pilanesburg trip: amazing experience, excellent customer care and great value.
5/5

10/10 for "Safari with us"! What an amazing experience... Pilanesburg was fantastic, I saw a huge variety of wildlife including Lions, Rhinos and so much more. Huge thanks to Dennis (the safariwithus guide), it has been a real pleasure to spend time with him & benefit from his knowledge of the park and local area. The camping, braai and star-lit sky all added to this truly unforgettable experience.

Well organized and professional to help seamless safari experience
5/5

Andre helped create my customized safari package including Kruger and trips to Joburg+Soweto and Pretoria. He guided me every step of the way with patience and calm. His drivers and guides were all fun guys that tried to share as much info as possible. The lodge staff were friendly. I also liked Safari With Us policy of payments in installments. Based on my positive experience, this is a reliable company and the packages they offer are all value for money. I recommend you reaching out to Andre directly and take it from there.

Incredible Manyelti Safari Experience
5/5

Organizing this tour was very easy and Andre and his team were very prompt in their communication and answering any questions I had. He was also flexible in changing our pickup locations based on changes to our travel plans. I'd highly recommend booking with Safari with Us for a Manyelti Safari experience.

I had a great time on the safari with my brother and with Mpho as our guide. Mpho was always helpful and made sure to answer any questions or concerns we had and wanted to provide us with a great experience overall. This was my first safari, but Mpho and the safari overall exceeded my expectations. I could tell he spent time to tailor our experience to us personally and plan out activities we would be interested in and seeing animals we had mentioned to him earlier. He was always willing to adjust the daily itineraries based on our requests and made suggestions to ensure we got a fulfilling experience. Besides that, he was great about giving lots of additional information about the wildlife, area, and history of Manyeleti. This was an incredible safari experience and I highly recommend it and Mpho as an excellent guide.

Famtastic Manyeleti Safari
5/5

We communicated with Andre throughout the whole booking process for our Safari. He was extremely responsive and helpful, and made sure we were taken care of before, throughout, and after the safari. We were fortunate that Andre booked us with Mpho for our safari experience. We had an amazing safari with him and he took great care of us during the whole trip. If we had any issues with any part of the stay, he addressed them immediately. As for the safari, our game drives were very unique from others I had been on and I could tell Mpho took time to plan them out and help us look for animals we were interested in. He answered all of our questions immediately and gave us lots of information throughout the Safari. He was always early to all of our meetings and was willing to change the daily itineraries based on our requests and inputs. I enjoyed this Safari more than any I had been on and highly recommend Mpho as a guide.

Manyeleti is unique in a lot of ways that I didn’t expect, all for the positive. It allowed us a lot more freedom in where we went (off-road) and also the crowds were much smaller so it was a more intimate experience. We ended up staying at the Manyeleti main camp and the staff there was amazing as well. The restaurant while delicious had a pretty limited menu (several things were out of stock) but what they did have was absolutely delicious. I think it was slow time for them im sure the inventory will improve as it gets busier. We thought it was a great value for the money and if you are on the fence between Kruger and Manyeleti, I would definitely recommend giving Manyeleti a shot! Thanks Mpho and Andre for the great Safari.
