Breathtaking Nature
The Kruger national park is like no other place in the world. Its different watching wildlife animals vs animals in a zoo. Barney from Wildlife Safaris did a really good job bringing us around and spotting the animals to direct our attention in their way. I still don't know how he does it so well, but he was a park ranger before so I am sure that helps. Oddly, the period I went 26-31 Dec had a lot of rain so I am sure there would have been more animals to spot if not for the unpredictable weather.

Amazing people, stunning wildlife and nature
We had a great time in SA, most of which we spent in Capetown. The people are great, the food is good and the possibilities are endless. For our trip to the Kruger national park we went for an all inclusive tour with Viva safaris and had the most amazing time. Accomodations and food were good, the tour was well organized and the guides were knowledgeable, fun and incredible at spotting animals. Would recommend 10/10.

Beautiful scenery and animals. And the dignified Big 5.
Malelane is a camp where we can feel the quiet nature with no shops and few people. Also, the accommodations at Malelane Satellite Camp were clean and very comfortable. We also saw shooting stars at night.
We stayed 2 nights in Sukukuza and 1 night in Malelane and were able to complete the Big 5. Thank you to game drivers Mornay and Opa.
We would like to thank Wade from Endless Summer Tours for all of the arrangements for Johannesburg, including preparing the meals and providing airport transfers.
Safaris are generally safe, and we should have some coins to use the restrooms at gas stations along the way to Johannesburg.
Game drives in open vehicles early in the morning or during rain can be quite cold, so warm clothing is recommended.
In Cape Town, we had Danny from Beyond Africa Safaris & Tours guide us for a day. Thanks to his very thoughtful suggestions and planning, we were able

to visit the main spots efficiently, even on New Year's Eve, the busiest day.The views from Chapman's Peak Drive are most recommended and the most beautiful.
We also had a lot of fun getting a sense of the local atmosphere by purchasing souvenirs at the Green Market.
Thank you so much Danny. We want to see you again.

Exciting, beautiful and unique
Our stay at Makweti was superb - hospitality, catering, service and over quality of experience cannot be faulted. The array of wildlife we saw on our morning and afternoon explorations and the immediate proximity to the wildlife was truly amazing - a special mention to Joseph our safari guide/host, his knowledge, patience and service was a highlight of our 4 day experience.

Chasing Colors
Overall service provided by Travel Your African Dreams was great. I traveled along the garden route to the Addo Elephant Park with my guide Mackenzie Walker. I am still grateful he showed me many birds during road trips and the scenery was beautiful with the fynbos vegetation. Wildlife was active and foods were inexpensive. Hope more visitors will want to enjoy its beauty.

An oasis like atmosphere in the SA bush
Upon our arrival at the lodge, we were warmly welcomed by Ntomi, the hospitality manager. Her graciousness and attention to our needs were truly remarkable. An evening game drive followed, led by two rangers who were competent, though not exceptional. The highlight of the night was the unforgettable Bush Braai (BBQ), where we enjoyed a delicious meal surrounded by the enchanting ambience of nature

and stars.On the second day, Ranger Luke guided us on a 4-hour Bush Walk, providing an incredible experience. Luke's extensive knowledge of the bush and its wildlife made the trek truly memorable. Later that day, we embarked on a sunset drive with Ranger Nadine, who demonstrated a keen attention to detail. The third day was an exhilarating full-day adventure in the Kruger Park with Ranger Smiley 'Halala Hakuna Matata', whose infectious enthusiasm added many "WOW" moments and plenty of laughter to our journey.
The fourth day brought another full day of exploration in the Kruger, and on the final day, we enjoyed an early morning drive before heading back to OR Tambo Airport. Throughout our stay, the food was not only wholesome but also authentically South African – a culinary delight that I thoroughly enjoyed.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Tremisana Team for making our experience so incredible. The warmth and friendliness of everyone, coupled with the lodge's oasis-like atmosphere in the bush, created memories that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful South Africa- with lots to explore from mountains to ocean, and amazing safari experience
South Africa is full of beautiful places to explore. One visit is really not enough to explore all that South Africa has to offer. I have been there multiple times and each time have explored areas I have never seen before. The nature is extraordinary and access to safaris is also top notch. Safari lodges are affordable compared to other countries in Africa. The people in South Africa are very welcoming and happy to help tourists. If you are looking for an easy way to get to Kruger and enjoy safaris in a comfortable way without having to drive yourself, I recommend contacting Safari with Us, as they proved excellent services including transport from/to Johannesburg. South Africa truly has something for every type of traveler.

Exceptional 5-Star Safari Experience in South Africa
My recent safari in South Africa was an absolute gem, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating. The guide was nothing short of amazing, offering insightful knowledge that added depth to every wildlife encounter.
Accommodations were top-notch — clean, luxurious, and perfectly situated in the heart of the wilderness. The sunset game drives were magical, painting the sky with vibrant hues, and the diverse landscapes provided a stunning backdrop for unforgettable wildlife sightings.
