It was the most stunning beautiful trip and our first Safari but not the last for sure. We dreamt the eyes wide open.
Thank you a million for all your assistance and advises.
Looking for the next safari in Botswana maybe this time.

We are truly devastated that we have had to return to the UK.
Our stay at Greenfire lodge was absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to return. Everything from the collect at Johannesburg Airport to our return was 100%. Lavender at moafrika tours took our booking and from.the beginning I felt confident in the company.

Ivory Wilderness was Wonderful

We spent 4 days at Ivory Wilderness camp on the Klaserie River - just south of Kruger I have been on safari many times and this was as good as it gets. Animals everywhere. Lions, leopards, elephants, Rhinos, buffalo, hippo, wild dogs, hyena and a wonderous array of antelope. We even did a bush walk and encountered elephants. Frightening and exhilarating at the same time. The lodge was great with great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Nice View, Various Tourist Attraction and Mostly Nice People

I was told before visiting South Africa that it is a dangerous country. But after visiting for 10 days, I would say it's not true. As long as you always alert, not taking only photos, you will find South Africa is a nice country that you should visit. Not only a beautiful country with a various activities (eg, sunset cruise, safari, etc), the cost of living is comparatively cheap. The most important thing I experienced from this trip is, South African people are so friendly, kindly and helpful.

Due to a flight change, we ended up with an extra day in Johannesburg, so we did a private one-day trip in Pilanesberg Park. The trip was very well organized and our guides were knowledgeable and very entertaining. It was a great way to spend a day.

Amazing country with lots of different qualities

We spent time in Cape Town, which is a beautiful city. It has its poorer side, as do all major cities, but is an amazing place to visit. The culture, Table Mountain and the waterfront are some of the highlights. Langa township is well worth a visit.
We then spent 4 days in the Kruger National Park and saw most of the wild animals that we wanted to see. Only the leopard remained illusive. Lots of lions with cubs, elephants, rhino's, giraffes and zebra to name a few. An amazing experience. Totally recommended.
South Africa is an amazing country.

Had an amazing safari with Junglers Adventure tours. From start to finish organization and booking was easy. It was a private tour so felt very special. Our guides Eric and Bertjan were amazing, knowledgeable, friendly but professional and great fun. I had some amazing vegetarian dishes especially those cooked by the guides. The wildlife we see was out of this world, seeing the top 4 within an hour and lions the next day. An amazing leopard encounter, a lion couple on honeymoon and watching vultures and hyenas devour a kill stolen off some cheetahs. The guides were patient and allowed us plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the experience. I will never forget this experience and thank them for making my childhood dreams come to life and feel like I was David Attenborough.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our first safari. All the staff that we met were more than helpful . We had a chance to see and learn about a lot of interesting things. We will certainly pass our experience on to our friends and family so maybe they can enjoy a trip like we did.

It has been 15 years since I last visited and was pleasantly surprised at how energetic and vibrant the Western Cape was. We were vacationing in the Houtbay area and enjoyed our stay immensely. Surrounded by mountains and the Atlantic ocean. The area was conducive to hiking and water activities. Cape Town was a few kilometres away and offered stunning views, restaurants and night life. Table Mountain was a challenge we accepted with trepidation but conquered in about five hours..the gondola ride down was about 5 minutes. Highly recommended
