Everything was very well organised through safaribookings.
And we had a very friendly driver, Gavin. Aquila was a very nice game reserve. They take good care of the animals.
The resort was beautiful. We had a great stay and two very nice private safari’s.

Bucket list trip / Safari completed

5 / 5 5 /5

Has been on my bucket list for many years to do a safari and everything we had planned went smoothly.
Dealings with company (Wayne) amazing and efficient - nothing was too much trouble
Accommodation was basic, but more than sufficient for what we needed with clean room and bathroom. Food at the lodge a bit ordinary, but again - we didn't go there for the food experience
Safaris booked were great, Krueger is entry level safari with more traffic than expected and bitumen roads, but all big 5 were spotted on our last safari which is what we came for.
The scenery on the panoramic tour was amazing and what a great day out.

All in all I can certainly recommend it as your entry level safari.

Our trip was wonderful. We stayed at the Tremisana Lodge, a clean and lovely place. But the real value of this place is the people, always smiling, in a family atmosphere. We even found a little gift at Christmas dinner.
Thank you for giving my family a Christmas full of kindness.

A wonderful country, with wonderful people. Just don't have to use so much barbed wire!

We were lucky, 2 and a half of the 4 games were sunny, at the end we ran into the rain, but not as much as now, these days. The organization was professional, the accommodation, the transfers, the food, besides the big 5, we also had other, new animal-watching experiences. The only thing we were not enthusiastic about was the price of the safari tour. The prestige of Kruger is a bit overrated.

South Africa has the kindest people, and the wine country was unforgettable.

The wine country in South Africa was one of the highlights of our trip. The wine was some of the best we’ve ever had, the food was exceptional, and the entire region felt incredibly safe and welcoming. We would go back in a heartbeat. Indigo Safaris planned our entire safari experience, and every detail was seamless. We stayed at Rhino Ridge, where the lodging was beautiful and the wildlife sightings were unforgettable. One of the most memorable moments was enjoying massages while looking out a large picture window as elephants, zebras, and giraffes passed by in the distance. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We had good accommodations and saw the Big 5, plus way more. Panoramic was difficult with rain and fog, but okay still
