A seamless yet unforgettable vacation.
Our safari experience in Sabi Sands was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our trip planner. From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly, making what could have been a complicated journey feel effortless. Despite the long travel required to reach the reserve, every detail was thoughtfully arranged and everything went exactly according to plan. The safari fit perfectly into our South Africa itinerary.
The resort that was selected for us exceeded all expectations. It was incredibly luxurious while still feeling warm and personal. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their hospitality was exceptional throughout our stay. Every member of the team made the experience feel special and tailored to us.
The safari guides and staff were extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, which made every game drive both exciting and educational. We were fortunate enough to see an incredible variety of animals during our time in the reserve, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We are so grateful for the care and expertise that went into planning this trip. It was the perfect combination of adventure, luxury, and seamless logistics, and we would highly recommend both the trip planner and this experience to anyone considering a safari in South Africa.

Excellent service, communication, and value
We booked a 4 day/3 night tent safari at Dumela Camp through SafariLife. Johan was awesome in explaining options and helping us decide on the details. Always responsive either through chat or call. The actual camp and drives were operated by MoAfrika. They were great. The transfers were on time. They picked us up in Johannesburg early morning on day 1 and dropped us at Hoedspruit airport near the camp on day 4. Recommend flying in and out of Hoedspruit if you can to avoid the 6 hour road trip from/to Joberg.
The camp had excellent service. The food was good. The tents had private hot showers, toilet, and sink as well as electrical power and lights. Beds were very comfy. We did not use the AC or pool as it was coming into wintertime when we were there.
The camp hosts were engaging and very helpful. Ian was fantastic. The guides were also wonderful, especially Lambs and Great. We did two 3 hour safaris at a nearby private reserve (one afternoon and one morning) and a full day in Kruger. All were fantastic. We also did the full day panorama tour which was beautiful scenery but don’t expect any animals.
Derrick is the man, he cared about our experience and consistently worked to create a great time.
While the communication before I left for safari was a little inconsistent, from the moment I left on safari it was an incredible journey. My guide Derrick was very relatable and always had something interesting to say about the animals we were seeing. He kept things fun and made everyone in the vehicle feel comfortable. The camps were super cool to stay at, definitely more of an experience than a luxury living experience but it was well worth it. Very cool places and really made me feel like I was in Kenya. I was solo traveling but definitely felt a community at each one of the camps and in the vehicle each day. Thank you Derrick for such a great experience!

Great Experience with a great guide and excellent lodges
We started our experience with the pick-up by our guide Abdul. After providing us with initial information, we headed towards the first park and were able to get a little more sleep before the actual safari started. Abdul had great communication skills, knowing when to explain things and when to just let us enjoy the environment. We always knew before what to expect of the day and the housing, which made the experience even better. The lodges in the parks were amazing, the staff was always friendly, the food was excellent including the food provided for lunch during the tour. We were lucky to see almost all sort of animals including in huge groups. All in all, an amazing experience with great people during the entire trip.

The tour operator was very experienced, cautious, attentive and understanding.
Our operator was Samuel (locals knew him as Kim/Kimani) and he was amazing at his job. Just like him, other drivers Duncan and Nik were amazing people. Samuel had close to 20 years of experience on the job and it was evident with the way he handled each and every situation. He was very well informed about the wildlife, their behaviors, what to expect and what not to expect in the Savannah. He shared his knowledge with us about each and every animal as well as other natural things in the parks. Whatever he didn’t know, he googled and shared everything he learned after we were done pleasing our eyes. He was extremely polite and never disturbing or rushing us.
He explained the plans to us very well, when to meet him, where to meet him, etc. Even our food and accommodation was arranged by him and he always checked with us if we were comfortable with what the hotels offered.
What impressed me the most was his philosophy; slowly but surely. We had long drives between national parks (4-7 hours on the road sometimes) and he was always very careful in his driving. When we travelled through some troublesome parts of towns, he made sure that we had locked our doors and closed our shutters of the vehicle.
We are definitely going back and definitely choosing Savannah Sound Safaris.

Remarkable family adventure and great time with HERBIVORE.
Over six days, we explored three incredible destinations, the Tarangire, Serengeti & the Ngorongoro Crater. And each destination was a completely different experience. We will never forget the excitement of seeing animals in their natural environment and our children were very excited because it was their first experience seeing animals so close. Our guide Moses was very friendly, he made a lot of fun with our kids. He gave us professional and enjoyable game drives. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to enjoy every moment without stress. It was a wonderful family adventure that exceeded our expectations in every way.

My friends!
The consultant, Jeremiah was very kind and friendly. He was very cooperative. He asked me what I want, and what I need and he tried to fulfill that all. Thanks to him, I successfully and easily made a reservation for my Honeymoon Gamedrive.
Guide, Libe! I think he is an expert on Safaris. He is good at off-road driving, he has a lot of knowledge about wildlife animals, and he is so passionate. The gamedrive was so nice that I could experience than what I expected.
They are reliable. They provided good service. I will go on a game drive with my family again someday, and I will choose Serengeti Smile then as well.

Amazing experience
We found this company through Henry, who helped us give shape to a trip specially for us! He has been a great help, always responding quickly.
We loved our time going through Amboseli and Masai Mara. James and Johnson made sure we saw as much amazing things as possible, with their help we saw the BIG FIVE! We were very happy with them as our guides.
The cars were comfortable and stocked with drinking water. We were very happy that the organization could accommodate our group of 10 people. We had a great time!
