Many amazing game drives

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 4 / 5

We did quite a lot of game drives, maybe too many for some, but that's why we were in Africa. We went to Kruger ( Letaba, Skukuza and Croc Bridge) and Hluhluwe as well as transit drives through that part of South Africa. We did dawn and dusk drives almost every day as well as a night drive and an armed bush walk. Wildlife highlights, African Wild dog, leopard, white rhino, cheetah, lion, jackal, elephant, hyena and almost every type of antelope. The accommodations are basic, but are clean and safe. The weather is changeable in October, but had some beautiful days. The scenery is breathtaking from the bush to the Drakensbergs. People were very nice.
Other highlights were stopping off at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and donating to their wildlife program and bring scool supplies for their partnered school, Stopping one night at Royal Hlane in Swaziland and hot air ballooning in the Drakensberg.

Absolutely fantastic experience and feel so privileged to have had the experience

We arrived to beautiful weather, many friends told me it could be cold at this time of year, but it was cool on the early game drive,but soon warmed up. Kruger was a fantastic experience and cannot explain how privileged we feel to have seen the big 5!
Our guides were fantastic and knew the park so well. Kruger is twice the size of Wales in the uk.
Dress with layers, like an onion and you'll do fine in kruger. There are blankets on the Jeep to keep you warm.

Hospitality, food, nature

We spent only few days for a safari and one day in Jo'burg. The safari experience was amazing under all standpoints: wildlife, food, accomodations and, above all, the warm ospitality of South Africans.
This is our second trip in your country (1st one dedicated to the Cape region and whale watching) and it confirmed the wonderful memories we had.
We love this country and look forward to coming back in the future for exploring other areas
P.S.: the agency (Safari.com) provided a 5star service

We visited Tyron Safari in October and the whole experience completely surpassed all of our expectations. The transfer from Johannesburg was effortless, the accomodation was very comfortable, food was brilliant and everyone we met was trying to make our holiday as good as it could be. I couldn't recommend this company enough.

Nature and the beauty of the country is very important to all who live there. Getting away from the cities and into the bush is the best way to experience the true beauty of Africa

Amazing South Africa

The Staff at the various hotels were extremely courteous and very professional - always smiling and there was never a request that was turned away. The food was great and the weather at that time of the year was kind to us. The natural beauty of the land complemented by the abundant wildlife, both on land and on the Chobe River, was amazing. Our guides always had a very good sense of humour and there was never ever a dull moment from the early morning safaris to the late night sundowners amongst the natural beauty of the glorious sunsets.

Imposing landscapes filled with wondrous things

5 / 5 5 /5

We enjoyed our 3 weeks in South Africa and in particular our time near Kruger Park seeing all the wildlife. Our Lodge (Phelwana) was exceptional. You really saw so much without leaving their reserve - from giraffes to the hippo family and all the other animals. But then the excursions to Kruger etc were filled with non-stop sightings - the highlight being the family of six cheetahs. We were very happy with the food and wines on offer and the service throughout our stay. Our guide Jurgen was attentive and full of stories to engage us and we enjoyed his company. I guess the only thing I would change perhaps would be to fly to Kruger instead of the land transfer from Jo'burg - probably spent too long in cars overall.
