The safari experience for my wife and I was truly different and amazing. We hadn’t done anything of this sort before. Going out into the domain of these amazing animals in a 4x4 truck out in the open was a unique and thrilling experience. We were at the Gomo Gomo lodge and everything was organized very well. The only thing I would request from the lodge would be that there be more vegetarian option regarding the food. Other jab that, everything was great!

The safari was absolutely awesome, Rochelle from Kruger Park Tours did an awesome job and has organised the whole trip to our FULL satisfaction. She answered all questions in a timely manner and organised everything just as we wanted it.
And we were not disappointed at all!
Organisation - excellent
Wildlife - excellent
Food - excellent
Accommodation - excellent
Bush Vibe, Guides and Staff - outstanding.
We enjoyed our stay so much. We had no idea which camp operator to choose, Kruger Park Tours booked us for Tydon Safari Camp. It is a familiy owned business, for people by people. Thanks to its location, you will/can enjoy both, the Kruger Park itself and the Sabi Sands Reserve - wildlife spotting was awesome and so was the rest! About Tydon Safari camp: it is not toursim mass processing, the guides take their time to explain everything, food is superb - local food - which you don't find in a restaurant. Beds in the tents

as well as the tents were VERY clean and comfortable. The evenings and also day toures were full of fun and giggles - we could not ask for more.
Thanks so much Rochelle and Tydon Safaris for this awesome Safari, memories for a lifetime!

- Wildlife and scenery were absolutely great, we got to see much more than we thought we would.
- Accommodations we very good. We spend some nights in tent and some in rondawells. Accommodation had everything we needed to have a good night sleep and to shower and wash clothes etc.
- Our guide Mr. Chris was fantastic! He was very professional and knew all about the animals and nature. He also told us many stories about the traditions in Africa. Our cook and "fixman" Mr. Lungi was also fantastic! I don't know how he did it but he managed to do dozens of things at the same time and we didn´'t need to worry about anything. Thank you Mr Chris and Mr Lungi!!
- The highlights that we saw are many; elephants, buffalo's, lions, rhinos, hyenas and even one snake! And of course the African nature itself, the colors, sounds and the darkness of the evening!

Our ranger Celton and tracker Justice at the Kapama River Lodge were the absolute best. The lodge itself was fantastic in every way (especially the food), and those two went above and beyond to make the game drives fun and have us see all the animals! Can't speak positively enough about the entire experience!

I booked my safari trip with PaperJet Travel and they were super professional. Justin helped me a lot planning my stay and everything worked perfectly. The lodge (&Beyond Kirkman's Kamp) was very comfortable, with the whole staff always trying to make you feel at home. The food, the game drives, the small surprises... absolutely nothing to complain.

The wildlife was spectacular and very exciting to discover during our game drives and bush walk. We had excellent luck and a managed to see the big five, plus many more animals during our two days at Kruger.
The weather was great and the temperatures were hot, hitting close to 40C when we arrived at Kruger.
Our room was clean, simple, and comfortable. The air conditioner worked well and kept us cool during the day.
Food offered at the Kruger restaurant was good, but the meals our guide cooked for us were far better, and much healthier!
Our guide was phenomenal and taught us many things along the way from Joburg to Kruger, along the Panorama route. He was extremely knowledgeable, very kind and a pleasure to talk with.
Our guides van was also very spacious and comfortable.
The most exciting part of the trip was when our guide offered a small detour on our way out of the park. We ended up waiting around at

Panic Lake for ahout 20 minutes when suddenly a Jaguar appeared from the treed and began stalking a Waterbuck. She kept up on a fallen tree to strike, but quickly backed down when she realized the buck was far too big.
Overall we had an excellent time and have no complaints. We would certainly use our guide Jaco, and our tour company, Red Africa Safaris again.
