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.

Bucket list trip / Safari completed

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 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.

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.

Visiting South Africa is one of my best trips so far. Our Safari Tour Operator taking us to Kruger park for Sadari and visiting landscapes. Beside that, landscapes in Cape Town and other nearby destinations and stunning.
Food were tasty with many options from yummy steaks to fresh seafood. Drinks are good and with very affordable price. You don’t need to think too much about your wallen when you are on vacation there, which is great!

Overall SA is a superb destination!

We spent five days on the Tremosana Classic Safari at Tremosana Lodge, and we really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is clean; it may not be the most modern, but it has everything you need. The food was absolutely delicious every single day.

The rangers are more or less talkative, but if you ask questions, they are happy to share interesting details. In any case, both at the lodge and in the private reserve, as well as during the days in Kruger National Park, you can observe the animals very well.

Binoculars are definitely recommended, as well as a good camera with strong zoom, since the animals are usually seen from a distance. All in all, it was a wonderful stay, a great way to end our South Africa trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting South Africa who would like to go on a safari.

Great MoAfrika tour from Cape Town, to Vic Falls with Kruger in between

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 3 / 5

Booked online through MoAfrika who packaged a deal to incl the highlights of Cape Town over 5 days, then flight to Jo'burg, & transfers to Kruger (would recommend flying at least 1 way as 6-7 hours in bus).

Kruger & area was amazing - great guides, lovely accommodation, lots of amazing animals to see. Would recommend staying in a Kruger Park lodge as better tour options I think. We did a night safari in private park, full day in Kruger, & a morning walk in Hoedspruit. Also did day trip to Panorama Route - what an amazing suprise!

Back to J'burg for a day of sightseeing - very interesting.

Then flights to Vic Falls - 4 nights there incl the Falls (still amazing despite water flows down), Chobe, & Elephant park.

People were very friendly & helpful. Never felt unsafe & just followed guides advice to be aware.

After our first African visit, we can't wait to get back.
