all expectations exceeded!
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!!!
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!!!

Dirty
On Arrival we checked in, as we opened the cabin it was not turned from the previous guests. Mites are eating up all the wooden frames. I went to spar and bought doom and took care of it. Maybe inform guests that the pool has been under construction since last year (Especially when there are kids). If it was not for the surrounding i would have looked for alternative accommodation.

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

Wonderful experience!
Everything about our 3 day safari was excellent and extremely well run. The camping was a great experience and the showers and bathroom facilities were clean. The evening meal in the bush was such an added bonus and loved by everyone in our group. We saw all of the big 5 in three days as well.
great
It was a very well organized and wonderful experience that i would recommend to others!!!
excellent communication
We had excellent communication with Afritrip. When we arrived at the destination it only took us minutes to book in. We did do some changes to the initial booking and this was handled very professionally.

Fantastic trip to Giant's Castle!
This was the most trouble free booking I have ever made. The service was quick, questions answered promptly and confirmation emailed within 24 hours of the payment made.
I was impressed with the cottage we were placed in, since I asked for something suitable for octanarians and this was exactly the case. The camp at Giant's Castle is a fantastic venue and the service there including a daily, hearty breakfast, was exemplary.
Thank you for organizing the the trip so hassle-free.
