Fantastic place - highly recommend

We had the most amazing time visiting South Africa. We used Safari Booking to book our Kruger Safari and it was the highlight of our whole visit. We did a 2 night, 3 day trip with 4 game drives at sunrise and sunset. We saw the big 5 almost twice and the guides were fantastic. The place was beautiful and we had the most wonderful time speaking to people and getting to know the different places.

Breathtaking

We spend 4 nights at the Simbavati River Lodge in a very luxurious tent. The team was absolutely friendly and helpful and we enjoyed every minute. Going out into the bush twice a day was the best. We learned so much from Martin and Stiff and saw next to the Big 5 so much more!
Thank you!!

Fascinating country for its human life and wildlife!

The safaris were amazing! I saw the Big Five plus so much more. Just being in the vibration of the wild is life changing. I was there for a week and would suggest two 3-4 night stays in different camps/lodges to maximize locations and sitings but not have to move around too much.

A must to enjoy the wildlife experience in Kruger. The Panorama trip and drive through Garden Route simply breathtaking. Our stay in Umbhabha (one of their new lodge) and the food were good. Definitely will recommend Safari Bookings for those planning to go to South Africa.

Safari With Us created a 7 day itinerary for our stay in South Africa that included everything from transfers, accommodation, meals game drives and tours. South Africa is a beautiful country and the people we met were just as beautiful. We were blessed to see all of the big 5 up close during game drives at Kruger National Park. We also got to enjoy the diverse country with a knowledgeable tour guide and spectacular views along the panoramic route. If you get the opportunity to visit South Africa it is something you will remember for a life time.

South Africa is best place ever!!!
Overall rating
5/5

I was expecting this trip to South Africa for a long time, so I was very thrilled once I arrived! I can say now after spending 15 days over there that the reality of South Africa is way better than my expectations! The experience in Kruger Park was wonderful; to see the wild life really near to me, the lights, the colors… all the big 5 and not just once! I will stop to say thank you to our guide Remember! And then the ocean with all its animals, and the scenic route of Cpe Town, the food and the people in the south but also in the north in Johannesburg. All was so overwhelming that I cried when I was about to take my plane back in Europe! Thanks South Africa for these precious memories!

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
Overall rating
5/5

Clear indication and hints received upfront. Payment went also flawlessly in two tranches. Recommendations about what to pack were also given.
We were picked up at OR Tambo airport as expected, dropped at Hazyview meeting point after around 5 hours(return the same). Travel conditions were good. From Hazyview meeting point we were picked up by the lodge staff and taken to the lodge to have the check in done. Big rooms or big tents were available. Don't expect something small. Even the tents are huge, like a small house with everything in it. Dinner and breakfast included, and also two nights of accommodation. Lodge staff was nice.
There were two game drives included. The first for about 4 hours, and the second for about 8 hours. The experience was lovely. This is why we took also the third optional game drive as well for the last day.
Throughout the game drives the guides/drivers were very attentive with us, in order to make sure that we see everything that we can in the park. We were quite lucky and we saw all the rare animals, including the big five as well: elephant, rhino, hyena, giraffe, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, monkey, impala, kudu, hippo, crocodile, various birds, etc.
I recommend to have windproof and rain clothes. Even if it is warm, the wind is quite powerful.

A fantastic country!

A fantastic trip to a fantastic country!
We had a combination of game reserve, the garden route and then the Cape Town area, wine district and the peninsula. Our highest recommendations! We used Safari bookings and their subcontractors. Excellent service and everything well organized. My contact person was Keith in Cape Town and our guide for garden route and the Cape Area was Maximilien. Both extraordinary persons, we became friends and had dinner together with their wives and Keith’s little son. We are 100% satisfied!

4-day Safari tour at Kruger National Park

If you love nature that is an absolutely must in South Africa. It is an astonishing experience being able to see the animals in the wild but also it is really worth expending one day on the panorama route.
