Some of them most breathtaking views of scenery and wildlife you could ever imagine

We spent 2 weeks. We flew into Capetown and stayed for 4 days then flew over to Kruger area. Love Capetown and all it has to offer. We did Table Moutain, see the penguins and went to Cape of Good Hope. We did a safari at Aquila which had more of the landscape we thought South Africa would look like. Over by Kruger we stayed at Hazyview. We did a 2 night/3 day safari at Sabi Sands. Hands down one of the best experiences of my life. Everything from the accommodations to the staff to the wildlife were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We also seen Graskof, Lisbon Falls and so much more. Still can’t get over the “million dollar views” everywhere you looked. We will definitely be back.

We visited Namibia, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Each place was so different, large sand dunes and salt lakes in Namibia, farming of apple orchards and vineyards in Cape Town with lovely German architecture in town. We went on a safari in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and saw all the animals in their natural habitat. The lodges are beautiful and everyone was very friendly.

Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Highlight was seeing around 25 elephants at a water hole. Saw all bar a Leopard from Big 5 but did see a Cheetah to make up for it!

We had good accommodations and saw the Big 5, plus way more. Panoramic was difficult with rain and fog, but okay still

South Africa has the kindest people, and the wine country was unforgettable.

The wine country in South Africa was one of the highlights of our trip. The wine was some of the best we’ve ever had, the food was exceptional, and the entire region felt incredibly safe and welcoming. We would go back in a heartbeat. Indigo Safaris planned our entire safari experience, and every detail was seamless. We stayed at Rhino Ridge, where the lodging was beautiful and the wildlife sightings were unforgettable. One of the most memorable moments was enjoying massages while looking out a large picture window as elephants, zebras, and giraffes passed by in the distance. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A wonderful country, with wonderful people. Just don't have to use so much barbed wire!

We were lucky, 2 and a half of the 4 games were sunny, at the end we ran into the rain, but not as much as now, these days. The organization was professional, the accommodation, the transfers, the food, besides the big 5, we also had other, new animal-watching experiences. The only thing we were not enthusiastic about was the price of the safari tour. The prestige of Kruger is a bit overrated.

Our trip was wonderful. We stayed at the Tremisana Lodge, a clean and lovely place. But the real value of this place is the people, always smiling, in a family atmosphere. We even found a little gift at Christmas dinner.
Thank you for giving my family a Christmas full of kindness.

Bucket list trip / Safari completed

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

Has been on my bucket list for many years to do a safari and everything we had planned went smoothly.
Dealings with company (Wayne) amazing and efficient - nothing was too much trouble
Accommodation was basic, but more than sufficient for what we needed with clean room and bathroom. Food at the lodge a bit ordinary, but again - we didn't go there for the food experience
Safaris booked were great, Krueger is entry level safari with more traffic than expected and bitumen roads, but all big 5 were spotted on our last safari which is what we came for.
The scenery on the panoramic tour was amazing and what a great day out.

All in all I can certainly recommend it as your entry level safari.
