Wonderful!!

Everything in Africa was as expected except hotter. The view of the animals was awesome. The food was terrific. Our travel company, Kruger Park Travel, took very good care of us.

Exhilarating

Within the first 5 minutes we saw a hunt between a lioness and a zebra. This happened exactly as our guide was telling us that it was very rare to see a lion, and not to get our hopes up. We also had a huge male elephant walk directly by our jeep. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a amazing experience. Lunch was surprisingly good. They kept marketing it as a light lunch but it was wraps, salads and fries with options to buy soda, ice cream, beer. We had a great view at lunch with giraffes and zebras. Would highly recommend!

Kruger Park is the real deal

Staying in one of the Kruger park campsites was the best decision we could have made! The only thing separating us from the wildlife was an electric fence that surrounded the camp. Often we would just be leaving the park to begin our game drive and stumble across something right after getting out of the gate. The accommodations were excellent, with the option to camp in tents or sleep in an Air conditioned hut. Saw all the big 5 except for lions but we made up for it with a spectacular sighting of cheetahs.

Awesome Tour from VIVA Safari, Bad customer Service from Booking agency

The tour ist just great. Awesome staff at the Camps, good Guides, lots of animals. 5*! You can book it from a Lot of booking agencies.

What was really bad is the fact that we were not informed about our late Pickup. The driver was there around 11 instead of 8.30/9. We could not reach anyone at the booking Agency, the south african representative told us that he did not work there anymore.

Surprisingly abundant wildlife sightings

We did a 3 day safari tour of Kruger Park in an open vehicle with Simon from Wild Wings safaris. We were worried that the time would be too short but we saw an amazing abundance of wildlife. We saw many, many elephants, giraffes, rhinos, all varieties of antelope, warthogs, hyenas and even multiple lions every day. We did not find cheetah or leopard this trip but we were not disappointed.
Our guide Simon was fabulous and was excellent at finding animals and taught us a great deal. He was also a great cook. This was a great holiday.

Beautiful nature. Feelings I have never felt before!

Weather is just perfect when it's completely dark and gloomy in Europe. Scenes are absolutely stunning as well.

I booked through Kurt Safari where the staff were very helpful and always available for questions and very well-informed guides!
