Amazing experience!
The tour was amazing and a real enjoyable experience. We stayed at the Kruger Gate Hotel which was great with beautiful sunsets overlooking Kruger.
Kruger National Park was exhilarating - we did a sunset game drive and an all day game drive, managing to see the BIG 5 and many more of South Africa's incredible wildlife!
Having a private transfer from Johannesburg with the extra stop offs to God’s window and Blyde River Canyon were an added bonus to our trip.
Our guide Norman, was with us the entire way. He was a great guide with lots of knowledge, personable and extremely friendly.
I would definitely recommend Nhlalala travel to anyone considering Safari in Kruger.

Amazing safari and wildlife experience with fantastic scenery
We booked with Safari Bookings to stay at the Motswari Game Lodge in Timbavati Private Game Reserve. Every aspect of the trip was just brilliant. Safari Bookings took care of the flights from Jo'Burg to Hoedspruit, transfers and stay at Motswari. Our safari experience started as soon as entered the access road into Timbavati with giraffe and a large herd of elephants crossing the road. this was just the appetizer before our main safari event. We booked 4 nights with 8 game drives and all-inclusive accommodation. The staff and hospitality were top tier. the camp is open to the bush, so on our first day we were delayed getting to our beautiful lodge by a couple of elephants who had wandered in. Our first game drive took us to a leopard who had just made a kill so was up in tree guarding it with a couple of hyenas sniffing around at the base. Our guide and tracker were brilliant, and worked really hard to track down some wildlife including a mother and baby rhino, painted wolf pack and a group of lions who had crossed over from Kruger. We never thought in a million years we would see so much and have the wildlife approach us so closely. Fantastic. After our safari, we privately booked a trip to Cape Town. Brilliant scenery, African penguins, ostriches, Cape of Good Hope, Table mountain (very cloudy though) and defeinitely worth the trip. To finish our holiday we booked to go to Victoria Falls (Zambia) which truly deserves its billing as one of the 7 Natural wonders of the World. We booked a walking safari in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya national park which was absolutely brilliant. Coming across a herd of rhino on foot is a very different experience than in a vehicle and very exciting. So many memories of a brilliant holiday - one tip - get a good camera!

good quality price
all very correct. Mika very helpful, he helped us with a lost suitcase.
Martin the driver the best we could have. Fast, efficient and polite
The worst is the hotel where they book us up the first day (Embassy) and some of the meals, but that no longer depends on them

Diane put together the perfect itinerary for what we were lookin for.
My wife and I wanted to visit South Africa and knew it had plenty of different hot spots to visit, however we weren’t sure what locations to chose or what hotel accommodations to stay at. After reaching out to Diane at Safari Bookings, she set up a phone call with us and asked us everything we’d like to do while in country. A few days later, she had set up the perfect itinerary for what we were looking for. It included everything from in-country flights to hotel reservations, as well as scheduled transportation.
We just returned from our trip and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. Everything that Diane set up for us was spot on for what we were looking at. Could not recommend enough!

Amazingly supportive and caring
Definitely more than just experiencing safari. People are all nice and friendly, lodges and tents are clean and comfortable, and foods are very nice.
Bush walking with armed ranger was one of the most impressive events, which you could never experience in Greater Kruger.

Excellent. Beyond my imagination. Kuda is a Very knowledgeable and people oriented guide.
In one word excellent. Highly recommend Kuda. He is not only knowledgeable about Victoria Falls. He is very pleasant with very good knowledge about Atlas and current affairs. Could relate to him very easily .

Second time in Chobe National Park with Moabi and it was just as wonderful as the first time! We saw four of the big five, many birds and antelopes. Overall a very enjoyable day with one of the best guide we have ever had.
