6 of us from 67 to 8 traveled to Kruger NP and has a most wonderful experience. It was easy to organise the trip in the first place, everything fell into place, logistically and we managed to see the big 5 all in one day along with numerous others as well. We had tented accommodation which is what you really want. The guides etc were all extremely knowledgeable and meals etc were special

SOUTH AFRICA

4 / 5 4 /5
4 / 5 4 / 5 3 / 5 4 / 5

Recently went to South Africa for a week.

Apart from the bad roads, worn down farms/buildings next to the road, rubbish everywhere, just like in Namibia, in some towns, and the fact that we were almost hijacked in Kimberly, I was pleasantly surprised!

We got great and friendly service from everyone right from the start, good food and drinks, exept from one place, best/affordable accommodation, clean malls, clean bathrooms, the weather was perfect and from the animals that we could see was a nice experience!

We visited a total of plus minus 6 towns. Every town is different. Every landscape is different.

Very knowledgeable and friendly guides. We were lucky enough to see all of the big 5. Fortunate weather. Incredible food. One issue with the panoramic route day trip but very much so resolved, thank you.

Quick but Great

I only had time for about 24 hours in the Kruger Park but it was great. Great accommodations and staff, wildlife was good but I was expecting to see more but I was not there during their best viewing season. The accommodations before I went into the park was also amazing, wish I had more time at all of the places.

When talking to other people visiting, they all enjoyed staying at multiple campsites throughout their trip because different parts of the park have different experiences.

I would definitely recommend South Africa as a first safari experience. Pembury Tours did a fantastic job...highly recommended!

We were saisfied over the courteous, friendly and prfessional help for and after the safary game drive. Accomodations, food, transportations,
guides, weather, and scenery were very good. Wildlife was not to our full satisfactory, but then this was not a national park! But for beginners
it was it was allright. We enjoid our beginners wildlife safary and can recommend further. Thank you for the good time.

Cheers, Wilfried and friends

We spent 6 days in two camps Rhino Post and Nottens Bush camp Sabi Sands. The accommodation, service, food and organisation was excellent. The Safari drives and in particular the guides were top class. We have no hesitation in recommending these venues.

Without doubt it was an experience for life. I definitely wanted to say that the South Africans have created a magnificent experience for their tourists in Kruger Park. Most importantly they respect this guests and do their best to please them. Just wonderful!

The safari we booked at Pilanesberg Nature Reserve was amazing. From start to finish the trip was well organised and the staff were very helpful and informative. We were picked up from our Airbnb and taken back there after. We saw all the Big Five animals apart from the Cheetah which proved very elusive. The whole trip was fantastic and I would recommend Safaribookings.com to everyone.

The accomodation was excellent. We saw a lot of wild animals. However, you won't find too many outside reserves and national parks.
