Fantastic trip to SA
5/5

I had great help from Clive. He helped me plan and booked the whole 14 day trip for us, from Johannesburg - Kruger Park, flight, car rentals and hotels. He did a fantastic job and I will recommend him to friends who plan on SA. Thanks!

Totally incredible
5/5

Adelle Bell was so helpful from day one of our contact. Me & my husband were travelling with our two sons aged 9 and 12 and I gave her an outline of the type of trip i was looking for and our requirements as well as budget. Boy did she deliver on her recommendations. We stayed at Kapama River lodge for 2 nights and Kapama Southern for 2 nights largely because neither could take us for the 4 nights that i wanted. Initially i wasn't keen on having to go to 2 different places but actually it worked out perfectly and was lovely to experience 2 very different camps. i can't say enough good things about the Kapama reserve - the drives were amazing and we saw everything, the smell of the bush, the animals, the weather, the place, people and overall experience, it was truly overwhelming and we didnt' want to leave. Thank you so much i will definately recommend you to others and we will defo be back.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
5/5

The bookings and communications were excellent.

Ndumo is a beautiful old style game reserve. The accommodation is comfortable though a little run down. Th guides are incredibly knowlegable about the birds and trees.

The safari tents at Mkuze were stunning and we were surprised that they weren't full over Easter. With a little innovative marketing and some minimal upgrades, much more could be made of this camp.

South Africa trip

My contact person at Kruger.com (Andy Saidy) was extremely helpful in finding us a terrific location, Thornybush Waterside, for a 3 day Safari experience. I would definitely seek out his assistance again.

Amazing holiday in the bush
5/5

We had a fantastic family holiday at Kapama River Lodge.
It is a child friendly resort which went out of the way to accommodate us from the allocation of rooms, cuisine and game drives
It was a great outing. Unfortunately we did not see all of the big five but the the bush outdoors made up for that. We also had a flat tyre on one of the drives but was quickly repaired with the assistance of our plus another ranger...didn't quite get his name.
Great service all round from Joe (reception), Bongi (Restuarant), Zaan(Ranger), Moses (Tracker).
Definitely worth an experience .

all expectations exceeded!
5/5

Outstanding travel value. We travel a lot but can't think of a more memorable trip value. In just 6 half day drives we saw all of the big 5 and the white lions and got to
spend a night in the tree house.

The best of Pilanersberg!!!
5/5

As a couple we felt being at home as we had a blessed 3 nights Easter Holiday stay at Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge and definitely it is treasured in our hearts as one of the best places in Pilanesberg. It is a perfect place to disconnect with noisy city life and reconnect nature. We blessed to have a warm and family member-like, experienced and knowledgeable ranger in the name of Darryn. It was astonishing to be in company of Darryn who taught us to sooth ourselves in the morning callings of the Pilensburg inhabitants whilst watching the beautiful African sunrise. Through his natural instinct and experience, we had close encounters with a lot of animals inclusive of cheaters, many rhinos with babies, lions, elephants, etc.
The kitchen and restaurant personnel were really at the top of their game. Our Saturday’s braai around a bonfire with the entertainment of local cultural performances turned to be a feast for the kings. Our game drives team including our guiding ranger Darryn were on one table, where we chatted, and shared stories and jokes.
Thanks to the beautiful and nice ladies Mary and Maserame for their magical hands which melted away our stresses during the full body and facial massages at Amani African Spa of the game lodge.
Our room was luxurious. All Shepherd’s personnel were friendly.
Advise to those addicted to social networks, leave your gadgets at home as network and especially Wi-Fi is scarcely available due to Lodge location.
Definitely, one day we will go back!!!

Hassle free booking with constant updates. They go the extra mile. Good way to start any holiday.
5/5

Staff very friendly, knowledgeable and always prepared to help. The new generator runs at the times given affording you cooking light for the evening meal in inclement weather. Rained only 2nd night. The trails are clearly marked and staff will give you a heads up on the difficulties of the trail that you have chosen to walk.
Chalets/bungalo's are well appointed and are cleaned very thourougly every morning when you are out hiking. The views are spectacular and we saw up to 30 Eland in different parts of the reserve. The most amazing thing is the utter silence other than the wind in the grass and the birds flying overhead. The water in the nudie pools is freezing, so take a partner for de-frosting. Booked again for June 2016 it is so good.
