All in one

Guided tour and escorted transport made me safe always and could enjoy the country. Accommodation ranges from decent to luxury, I got what I paid for. The wildlife appeal is great despite tarred roads being everywhere. But not only wildlife, the scenery, history, and cuisine are fantastic. All in one country.

The lodge, guide, food and wildlife were all wonderful. Dont hesitate to book with Kruger Park Travel. Their response to any inquiries was pretty fast as well. Thanks again!

It was a great, thrilling and unsual experience

Wildlife was amazing. It was great we went to two different areas of the Kruger as we did not see the same animals in both.
As above, the scenery was also different in both areas so we did not get bored of seeing the same scenery for four days. The southern area of the park was more open and therefore more beautiful than the Thornybush area.
The weather was perfect. Not too warm during the day, and not cool early in the morning nor in the evenings. Even though it was mostly cloudy, this helped avoid the sun/shade contrast which makes taking good pictures somewhat more complicated.
Food was excellent everywhere, as was the service during meals.
Transportation during the safaris was perfect, and the guides were knowledgeable and helpful.

In South Africa, we started our voyage from Capetown, on to Franchoek (wine region) and then onward to Kruger National Park and then through Johannesburg on our way back home. The country of South Africa is like no other I have seen - it is so diverse, with a very westernized city like Capetown with amazing food and scenery, and then the wine region which was like Napa Valley or Okanagan (Canada) on steroids - it was THAT good - the buildings were designed beautifully and the wine was fantastic. And finally, the unbelievable wild animal life in Kruger National Park! It really was a dream trip and South Africa is an amazing place with many secrets that unfold for the tourist! Our private lodge, Simbavati, was beautiful, high-end, amazing service and food. Our guides and trackers made our trip, by teaching us so much about the animals, the terrain and the foliage. We loved every minute of our trip and have been highly recommending to anyone who will listen.
