Fantastic!
Overall rating
5/5

There were a few in the big 5 that we didn’t get to see so that was a little disappointing but we still enjoyed our time.
I wasn’t able to sit by my mother on the safari Jeep. I didn’t like being separated from her at all.

This visit disappointing due to illness and fewer animals around than usual.
Overall rating
4/5

The wildlife we saw was good but sparse, accommodation clean and comfortable(really nice),guides knowledgeable and transport all fitted together well. My own illness rather spoiled this visit for me and temperatures were warmer than I've ever experienced before!

A Birthday Celebration I'll Never Forget!
Overall rating
5/5

This was a trip to celebrate myself and my friends birthdays. We went for 10 days and had the most amazing time. This country is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life! We visited both Johannesburg and Capetown. Johannesburg is full of history and we revelled in it. Visited Lesedi cultural village, Mandela House and the apartheid museum and were greeted warmly by everyone we came in contact with. The dancing and singing and all over welcoming vibe made it a wonderful place to be. In Capetown, the views are breathe taking. On several occasions my friends and I just cried from the beautiful sites before us. We did experience a touch of racism at an establishment in Hermanus called Walker Bay Grill but we did not allow that to effect the rest of out trip. We had an amazing experience at Gold's restaurant, went whale watching, saw the penguins at Boulder beach and saw amazing street performances. I would love to come back to South Africa. This was a trip like none other.

Still great wild life
Overall rating

Avoid popular game reserves. Too many vehicle safari travellers. Go to minor reserves such as Dinokeng near Pretoria. You can stay in the reserve and practically monopolize the nature. Few travellers. Safety is good opposed to typical travellers comments. Just don't do things or go to places you don't in your own country.

Unforgettable Experience!
Overall rating
5/5

Our experience with Wild Wings Safaris was amazing!From the beginning Mariana was extremely helpful and we felt we were in really good hands and there was nothing to worry about! Our guide Simon with his never ending enthusiasm and vast knowledge made our safari journey even more unforgetable! He want to thank him for taking such good care of us and taking into consideration our food allergies while doing so!
Transportation was excellent!
Weather was good!
Accommodation was also good and we liked changing camps because of the different scenery each location provided.
Our drives were full of highlights! We enjoyed every single moment!

An Amazing experience provided by Jumbari Family Safaris!
Overall rating
5/5

Lisa and Zeena from Jumbari Family Safaris provided us with excellent tours, guides, transportation and accommodation. We started in Johannesburg then to Zambai( Royal Livingstone), Klaserie River Safari, Rovos Rail ( 2 nights 3 days from Pretoria to Cape Town) excellent experience, ending in Cape Town. They kept in touch with us throughout our travels asking us if everything was OK, they were always proactive and very caring. We were well looked after and our trip was excellently planned out.

Our 3 day Safari at Klaserie River Safari Lodge which was outstanding a highlight no doubt. Our 3 day safari was a diverse experience including private safari properties as well as Kruger National Park experience. All were different and very interesting. We saw all the Big 5 as well as very different types of fauna, birds and other smaller animals were also pointed out and we were given details from our guides about all the different vegetation, animals(big or small),birds and the scenery was wonderful. Guides were very knowledgeable, humorous and communicated well with us making everything interesting and exciting.

Friendly, comfortable and extraordinary!
Overall rating
5/5

Amazing wildlife - we saw 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos), the accommodations were at Sausage Tree Camp were the perfect blend of luxury comfort and outdoorsy - the canvas tents look rustic and allow the sense of being in the bush- while housing a beautiful queen bed and connected to a brick-and-mortar bathroom with modern plumbing! Food was incredible and the staff was so kind and friendly.
