ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING PLACES ON EARTH!
Read more
comfortable bed, really hot rainshower, huge soaking tub, wonderful front porch where the vervent monkeys would wake us up every morning. Word of warning, if you stay here, the monkeys know how to open the sliding doors if they are not locked. The game drives were exciting and amazing. We saw the big five over and over. The driver and tracker went over and above to make sure we had a great experience, even chopping through the bush to find a leopard. We were driving about 25 mph, in the dark, on the way back to camp, the tracker was shinning a flashlight and he actually saw a chameleon alongside the trail. We stopped and I got to hold him. Magical. We not only got to see animals, the driver and tracker were full of amazing facts about dung beetles, termite mounds, and plant life. It was a dream! Greatest Africa took complete care of making sure we were in Joberg overnight at the eclectic Fairlawn Boutique Hotel. a beautiful hotel with two bathrooms, a jacuzzi and a huge bedroom. The staff covered the bathroom with rose petals and a heart for our honeymoon. It wasn't really our honeymoon, but that was what the safari was called. We definately recommend visiting South africa and using greatest africa to book your dream vacation.

Stunning destination
Extremely helpful booking agent - went on to a live chat and talked through a draft itinerary and then produced a bespoke .pdf of what our adventure would look like.
Booking, payment and everything was easy.
As for the safari - wow - Arathusa Lodge is a once in a lifetime destination, the property is stunning, food and drink top-notch and the game drives were unbelievable, with breathtaking game viewing.
Don't hesitate - book now

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.

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!

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
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.

South Africa is best place ever!!!
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!

Visiting South Africa was a majestic and memorable experience.
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.

Eye opening
The 5 day private safari for 4 at the Kruger National Park was awesome. Not only did we see a large variety of animals in their natural environment, we were also very fortunate to have had Shoes Mathebula from Khalanga Safaris as our guide because he pointed out and explained many aspects of animal behaviour to us, which enriched the whole experience. Besides that he also prepared ‘local’ meals for us which we enjoyed and the accommodations in the parks were very comfortable . Having never been on safari before, we did not know what to expect but we came away rating the Kruger safari as one of our best holiday trips. Besides the safari, we also spent 3 days in Cape Town which was not enough to appreciate what it had to offer. Having been warned about security issues, we were careful and attentive and did not have any problems during our self drive around the scenic costal route . Our stay at the V&A waterfront was exceptional for the ambience and proximity to food and shopping. I would recommend South African as a holiday destination.

Amazing Wilderness
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.
