We will never forget the memories we made as a family
Since we came all the way from The Netherlands and had saved for this trip for years, we wanted to make the most of our time together as a family. Wild Wings gave us several suggestions, one of which was to do the Panorama route and 5-day Kruger safari, a total of 7 days with a guide. This proved to be excellent advice.
We loved every minute of our week, from beginning to end. We were picked up by the friendly guide Simon, from our airport hotel in Jo'burg. We then travelled to Graskop where we stayed for 2 nights. We loved the swimming pool with a view - next to our chalet! Over the next 48 hours we visited several highlights of the Panorama route: God's Window, Berlin Falls, Mac Mac Pools, etc. A very relaxing and beautiful start to our holiday. Simon arranged the breakfasts and dinners, which were delicious and rich!
After this we travelled to Skukuza to discover the Kruger. Before we even entered the camp we had already seen impala, many elephants (up close!), hippos, crocodiles and zebras. The next day Simon found rhinos for us, which took quite a drive, but he and us persevered. For the final 2 days we stayed in Satara, were we saw many female and male lions up close, the white lion Casper, more crocodiles and hippos and a lot of elephants, giraffes, buffalo and zebras.
We were impressed with Simon's hard work, his kindness, his dedication to his profession, his love for and knowledge of the animals and the personal touch. The meals were exquisite too. Despite the fact that the days were long (early starts and long drives), we wish they would have been even longer. There was just so much to see and do, even though we had booked the longest of the 'Best of Kruger' options. Simon was always on time and flexible too. The tour was very affordable and worth every cent!
The only problem is that we were hit with a virus: the Kruger virus has now infected us! We want to come back as soon as we can. We have already started saving for the next time. Thank you for everything, Wild Wings!

Does their best to make your dreams come true
Our trip to Greater Kruger included 4 camps - Thornybush Game Lodge, Kapama Southern Camp, Simbavati Waterside and Simbavati River. As seasoned travellers we wanted to experience the best of what the area had to offer, with wildlife experiences that were up close and personal, whilst also exploring the choice of Classic and modern innovative Lodges. Safari 365 managed this for us to perfection. They understood and delivered what we asked of them and gave us, in return, a safari experience of a lifetime. It was a perfect itinerary. Each camp was distinctive and memorable, but all with excellent service and memories we shall treasure. Safari 365's organisation and arrangements worked so seamlessly all we had to do was turn up with bino's and a camera!

Top notch service from beginning to end of the trip
Discover Africa safaris helped us create the best trip we have ever experienced. Adelle was very knowledgeable and provided suggestions that really made this trip exceptional. Every minute of each day was organized and taken care of and seamless. Highly recommend.

The tour was well organized and everything went very smoothly.
We had an amazing safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater! The day before we were briefed by one of the guides named Daniel, so we knew what to expect from the trip and what to bring with us.
We were in a nice small group of six people and our friendly and knowledgable guide Elias answered us every question and patiently waited for us to take dozens of pictures of each animal. The meals cooked by our chef James were delicious with big enough portions to keep us energized throughout the day.
I highly recommend this safari experience!

Out of the world experience
I am just back from the 3-day tour with Suricata. It was simply fantastic. The entire itinerary was flawless and we were treated so special by every staff member of suricata. The lodges where we were booked for the nights were luxurious and full of experience! Now about the safari...it was out of the world. Our guide Elias was an expert driver and he saw to it that we manage to see every animal. I had never imagined to have such close encounter with wild life. He gave us amazing information too! There were absolutely no delays in the schedule. Chef James took care of our food and he is great cook. Eating warm food in the middle of jungle was an experience. Special thanks to John for picking us up from the airport and Daniel for helping us prep for the safari! Well done team Suricata. Asante!

The Experience of a Lifetime
The high ratings for Golden Rwanda Safaris is completely justified! The email communications in the beginning were quick, and precise, as well as accommodating for a change of plans due to world events. They provided everything I required from pick up to drop off at the airport and everything in between including hotel accommodations before my departing evening flight. The accommodations were clean, quiet, and very lovely, and the food was delicious. I really appreciated the attention to detail, such as water bottles and snacks. I definitely recommend visiting the Genocide Memorial, it was a very powerful experience and made me appreciate how far the country has come in their process of truth and reconciliation. And of course, the gorillas are amazing. You get way closer than I could have imagined, but the Park Rangers make sure the animals are treated respectfully. One of the reasons I chose Rwanda for my visit to the gorillas. I looked at a range of safari prices, there are cheaper than Golden Rwanda, but the quality of the driver, vehicle, accommodations and food was worth the slightly higher price point. You will certainly get your money’s worth. I was traveling solo, and was well treated at all the locations, which is not always the case. I have been to Africa several times, but this was my first time to Rwanda, Golden Rwanda Safaris provides a superior safari experience and I highly reommend them!

Smooth operator!
This trip was amazing, so much more than what I had expected. We started with an informative briefing by Daniel a day before departure and were well prepared. Apart from the big five, we also saw a list of beautiful animals and got all our questions answered by our fantastic guide Elias who was in a great mood throughout the entire three days and happy to stop every time we asked him to. Our group of six people was well entertained and the campsites we stayed in served us with stunning views and comfortable tents. Three times a day our chef James blessed us with super tasty meals (a lot!!) and we stopped at picnic sites with very peaceful atmospheres and little colourful birds as some extra company. This trip was definitely one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in my life. Thank you to suricata safaris!

Amazing, book your holiday with Safari365
We used Safari365 to book our Honeymoon and we had such an amazing experience. We contacted Safari365 with our idea of a safari but we hadn't really thought what we wanted to do or which country we wanted to go to! Safar365 with their expert knowledge and experience,provided us with several options all costed out for us. We ended up choosing South Africa, starting with the safari at Shamwari Game Reserve and then driving the Garden Route. Honestly everything was taken care of, the car hire,the hotel bookings and even recommendations of things to do and see. Safari365 were amazing throughout with answering any queries we had and we even managed to meet up with Andrew when in Capetown.
The level of service was amazing, welcome notes and gifts from Safari365 just made it feel even more special and that they cared about the whole experience. They even made us a little photo album. We are already starting to think of our next holiday with Safari365
