Amazing Service
5/5

Robert from Wild Africa was absolutely amazing. I had lots of ideas what I wanted to do and he put the whole trip together for me, he was so patient and understanding when I was changing things around. Nothing was too much effort for him. The resulting trip was brilliant, it all run like clockwork, and I just don't have the words to describe the holiday - a trip of a lifetime - all done so easily thanks to Robert

Again, easy to access. The tented camp at Mpila was GREAT. Stay there. For a few nights if you can.

Excellent spot, especially for accessibility and ease of stay

Kruger is an easy place to reach, to stay in, and to get around. Lots of paved roads, though you can also get out onto the less-traveled dirt roads, even with a 2wd hatchback when it's dry.
It's easy to see game, especially if you drive slowly. I got great hyena, kudu, ostrich, zebra, girrafe, and hippo sightings. It was easy to follow cars to the roadside predators, too, though the crowds take away from the wilderness feel some.
Definitely stay in the tented safari camps. Much more peaceful and quiet than Skukuza was.

Great safari destination
Overall rating
5/5

June was the perfect weather to visit the Kruger National Park since it can be extremely hot in the summer months (September - April). The weather was perfect with clear sunny days. We stayed in the Fish Eagle Guest House in the Letaba rest camp. The guest house was large and modern (rooms were more basic compared to the rest of the very modern house) and even had its own bird hide with a view of the Letaba river. Birds and buck would wander into our outdoor area making it possible to not even take a drive to see animals. The scenery were beautiful and lush. We saw a lot of animals especially elephant and impala in the middle/northern part of the park. The Letaba River runs next to the road which makes spotting animals sometimes very easy. The south of the park (south of Skukuza) was very dry but the lions, leopard and other cat species were more predominant around Skukuza. We had some lovely food at two of the park’s restaurants. We used our own Kombi to drive around the park. The tar roads are in a great condition and the dirt roads can be a little bumpy sometimes but really worth it to see all the different animals. The camp shops were well stocked and carry a lot of souvenirs that can be bought for someone back home. We saw a large variety of animals and birds and will definitely be returning next year!

Review about South Africa by Martie
Overall rating
5/5

South Africa is really diverse from waterfalls and mountains to the national parks, wineries and warm oceans. I don't think you can experience such a variety in scenery in any other country. Weather is great and the temperature is normally quite warm (above 20'C). Food is lovely and water is drinkable.

Incredible Experience - Thank you again, Bright African Safaris!
5/5

Wow. Where to begin? The first comment I have to make is that Bright African Safaris was the best choice we could have made for our Tanzanian safari. I wholeheartedly recommend this company, and I will certainly use this company again in the future.

From the moment I first contacted the company, I was impressed. Rukia responded promptly and thoroughly, answering my numerous questions with ease and making excellent recommendations for our safari. I felt no qualms at all about wiring money overseas to this company, having done so before for past excursions. I appreciated that Rukia contacted me as soon as the money was received, and she ensured that our driver and guide, Mrindoko, was at the airport well before our arrival.

In terms of the safari itself, Mrindoko was an exceptional guide. He was friendly, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable, engaging us from the moment we met him. He drove carefully and efficiently, and he truly made our first experience in Tanzania incredible. We went to four different national parks with him: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Every park was an exceptional experience, and we were very fortunate to see lions every single day of our trip. During the last part of our trip, in Ngorongoro, we were extremely lucky to see the rhinos, which are very rare in the wild. Aside from lions, we also saw countless elephants, zebras, hippos, birds, and numerous other animals; thanks to Mrindoko’s trained eyes and patience, our high expectations were consistently exceeded. In addition, at the end of each day, Mrindoko reviewed the day’s activities with us to ensure that we were satisfied and that he fully adhered to the schedule, which Rukia provided several months before the safari.

Aside from the spectacular wildlife, we were also extremely happy with the meals, lodging, and other excursions. The meals were excellent, often featuring fresh vegetables and other healthy cuisine, as well as a wide variety of meats and desserts. The lodging was outstanding; we stayed in the Maramboi Tented Lodge, Acacia Farm Lodge, Serengeti Serena Lodge, and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. Truthfully, I’ve travelled through several countries, and Tanzania has some of the best, if not the best, hospitality in the world, and every lodge exceeded my expectations. In terms of other excursions, we also did a village tour, which I really enjoyed, as it gave us the opportunity to learn about the Masai Mara and obtain some nice handmade gifts for people back home. At our request, Mrindoko also took us to The Tanzanite Experience, which gave us the opportunity to purchase additional, unique gifts, as tanzanite is only mined in Tanzania.

At the end of our tour, we personally met Rukia and Msangi, who owns the company. They were extremely friendly and asked for feedback regarding the safari. In addition, Msangi also provided excellent insight into additional opportunities offered by Bright African Safari, including Zanzibar add-ons, the Selous Preserve, and even excursions in other countries, which really interested us. This was the first time we had personally met the owner of a safari company, which demonstrates the level of commitment that Bright African Safaris has to its customers.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with Bright African Safaris, and we were very fortunate to have Mrindoko as our guide. Whenever we use Bright African Safaris in the future, we will certainly request him.
