When we went on our very first game drive, we saw the Big 5!

Greenfire Game Lodge was absolutely immaculate and a great deal for the price! The food was amazing, the staff was all extremely nice, friendly, and helpful, and the game drives were unmatched!

We want to de Lions Park and Leseedi Cultural Village. I don't recommend, but only because they are not natural, both are made for tourist. I prefer nature.

I booked a 4 days Safari with Safari With Us. All the process was online and easy. I went to the meeting point on the day and time scheduled and everything was set. The Kruger National Park is a must when going to South Africa. I recommend staying as much time as you can. The all browndry landscape (at this time of the year) helps to see further and enjoy wild encounters with many species. I was a solo traveler and enjoyed a lot.
The food was good and they are prepared for tourists, so not that many traditional kitchen. About security, you have to be aware of surroundings and your belongins but not overthink about it. I traveled safe and could enjoy day and night activities.

Also, the Apartheid Museum is incredible and deep experience. A lay over in JNB is a good option to visit it.

Everything about my visit to Cape Town and Kapama Southern Camp was amazing. As a solo female traveller in my 70s I was warned to “be careful” but at no time did I feel anything other than welcome and safe. Sevin my guide at Kapama Southern Camp was spectacularly accurate in finding and tracking the game and has a wonderful understanding and empathy with his surroundings. The trip of a lifetime which I would recommend to anyone

I loved the days we spent at Kruger Park and Buffalo Camp Rock. The safaris were amazing. We managed to see the big five in just 2 days. The accommodations were excellent and the food was delicious.

Overall, I really enjoyed my safari experience. I got to see leopards twice. I would have liked to stay a bit longer to watch animals in their daily activities such as the elephants- but the other passengers may have other interests and needs. The guides did their best to be accomodating. I tried a night drive which I would not recommend- I did not see much. My last drive was amazing- I went on a dirt road without other vehicles around and saw a few amazing birds since we went at a slower pace. The guide was very knowledgeable beyond the Big 5, which I appreciated. I was very lucky and saw quite a few animals in my first two drives, so after that it was a plus. I also did the Panarama drive. The scenary is beautiful but the driver was not very good at informing us how much time we had in each location- so we rushed through some of the stops that were gorgeous and then ended early. Fortunately, the driver allowed us to go to one more location that was not part of the tour. It would be
Read more good to figure this out at the beginning of the day. The tour company helped me figure out the logistics so that I could do everything that I wanted to in very few days- and the women at the lodge were also very flexible and accomodating. I would recommend this company to others.
