Beautiful country with so much to see and do!

We loved the experience of staying at a lodge in private game reserve which allowed us to see wildlife up close! Kruger was also amazing, but just a different experience. I would highly recommend combining both of those types of safaris.
The lodge was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Food was amazing and the staff very friendly. Amazing experience for us for sure!

We visited SA for remote work in Cape Town followed by a safari at Arathusa Lodge. The lodge was lovely and our tour operator, who helped us coordinate the flights and accommodation, was a wonderful help throughout. Saw an abundance of animals and had a spacious, beautiful room.

Kruger Tour

5 / 5 5 /5

We did a 3 day kruger safari tour which started and ended in Johannesburg. It was an amazing end to our holiday, and Norman as our guide was brilliant. He was kind, professional, very knowledgable and just a genuinely lovely man. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five on a sunset and full day safari.. plus lots more! The hotel was amazing too. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you won't regret it!! Thanks again Norman and Nhalala travel.

From beginning to end this was a very nice experience!! This turned out to be a very nice day trip from Jo'burg during a layover day. Had some great viewing in a lovely park...hard to believe its only a couple hours from the airport hotels! If you have only a day, I would recommend going to Plainsburg NP for a really nice day and an excellent taste of Africa!!

Safari in South Africa won,t disappoint

5 / 5 5 /5

In January 2023 my wife and I went on safari in South Africa prior to going to Cape Town to embark on a cruise.. I corresponded with ‘Safariwithus’ in October of 2022 to book a trip that coordinated with our time schedule and location criteria. Andre, our contact with Safariwithus, arranged a 5 day safari that included 2 nights in Kruger National Park, and 2 nights in Sabi Sands Game Reserve. I had some concerns about the excursion since we were celebrating our 62nd wedding anniversary (both of us are 82). Although we are both pretty healthy, the hosts and other guests were fantastic in tolerating 2 people who are not as nimble as they once were.
The company picked us up at our hotel in Johannesburg and took us to the first camp, Kruger Adventure lodge in Kruger. Commute was about 5 or 6 hours. We had two days with 2 game drives each day and were lodged in a cabin for two. The game drives were fruitful and we saw lions (at a distance), elephants, Giraffes and other game
Read more animals. The accommodations, meals and game drives were good.
On the third day we were taken from Kruger Camp to Sabi Sands Game Reserve. We were lodged in a Tented Camp in the bush named Umkumbe Bush Camp. I cannot say enough about the quality, ambiance, client care and service the lodge staff provided. It was, in a word, outstanding. Accommodations were wonderful, game drives hard to describe unless you were there. Our Guide for the drives – Jacques, was extremely knowledgeable and anticipated the movements and locations of the game unbelievably well. We saw all of the Big 5 and other animals up close and personal from our open top land rover. It was certainly the highlight of our trip. I cannot express the quality of this part of the five day trip. On the fifth day we were picked up at Umkumbe Bush Camp and taken back to our hotel in Johannesburg.
I give agency and staff and the camps and staff a hearty ‘Thank You’ for a memorable trip. I recommend it highly.
