A Journey into the Heart of the Wild: An Unforgettable Safari at Kruger National Park
Overall rating
5/5

From the moment I embarked on my safari adventure in the illustrious Kruger National Park, it was clear this was going to be an unparalleled voyage into the wilderness. Nestled in the heart of South Africa, Kruger is not just a park; it’s a colossal testament to the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. The booking experience set the stage for what was to be a meticulously organized, deeply immersive journey into nature’s untouched landscapes.

very interesting, very contradictory
Overall rating
5/5

We did a three-week round trip in South Africa. The nature is beautiful, the people very friendly. To learn more about society, however, you also have to read a lot on the internet. On a tourist tour, you usually only see the beautiful sides. Through Safari-Booking we found the agency Shinzelle Safaris. Our 4 day safari with Shinzelle Safaris was great. From booking to the end of the trip, everything worked out perfectly.

Diverse awesomeness
Overall rating
4/5

I was in Kruger National Park and also in a smaller game reserve near Johannesburg. In both experiences, I was able to be very close to nature and animals, which was an extraordinary experience. If you like nature, I definitely suggest doing a safari. The bush is really quiet, and I loved that the most. It was magnificent to see and hear Elephants in their natural habitat, playing in the water and among themselves. The people are extremely friendly and nice, and always open to answer to your questions about the area and about animals.

Johannesburg has its own vibes, and you feel how vibrant the city is.

We loved Viva Safari tour. Excellent guiding and accommodation was great if you are looking for value for medium end tour. Saw all the big 5 and more. The scenery was beautiful and people so friendly and helpful. We would recommend South Africa to all. We did Jo’berg to Capetown. Fantastic.

Overall rating
5/5

Spent three days in Johannesburg, including staying in Rosebank and doing a tour of Constitution Hill, Soweto, and the Apartheid Museum. Food, history, and culture all amazing!

Spent another four days on safari in Kruger National Park. Incredible experience seeing some of the rarest and most charismatic animals in their natural habitat, including lions, leopards, white rhinos, zebra, impala, eagles, hawks, tortoises, chameleons, I can literally go on and on!

Finished trip in Cape Town. Had a fantastic experience staying in Camps Bay and traveling around the city seeing the beaches, hiking Table Mountain, and traveling out to the beautiful wine country.

Absolutely beautiful country with scenery that leaves one breathless.
Overall rating
5/5

I recommend the scenic routes, drive to the Cape, Hermanos. visit the beautiful vineyards in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Also a must do is a couple of nights in a reserve to see the animals up close. We stayed at the Inverdoon reserve and it was super.

A troubled country
Overall rating
5/5

Our tour with safaribookings went on very satisfactory - we saw almost all the animals we came for.
Regarding tourism there is a long way to go before we can walk freely in the streets and that’s a shame. Get that fixed
