A lovely time
Really easy to book and organise. I had accommodation the night before and the night after arranged and was kept up to date with the schedule and with any changes.
Pick up from my hotel was nice and easy and then collecting the others from the hotel went smooth.
Adventure Lodge in Hazy view was a lovely place to stay. Good food, comfortable and clean beds and really friendly staff. Overall a really nice experience.
Out safari guide Shadrach was really friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to spot so many animals! including hyena cubs and even a lioness successfully hunting an impala! I know this is partly luck, but Shadrach knew what to look for as the hunt was in progress. Had he have done anything different, we would have missed the event.
Safari with us advertise additional, optional tours (subject to availability), The lodge did not offer a night time tour, but by contacting the company, it was easy enough to arrange, and well worth doing too!
I also did the panorama route which was beautiful and I am so glad I did it. The sights are well worth a visit and we went to The Garden Shed for lunch and the food was delicious!
My only complaint is I wanted to book an additional tour for the morning I was going to leave which is advertised as optional with Safari with us. However, when I tried to book with the lodge I was told unless someone else booked also I couldn't go (or I'd have to pay double). Which I do understand, but I was quite disappointed. I was on the 4 day budget safari, with one day Panorama tour. For this I had one afternoon safari (around 2-2.5 hours) and one day safari (around 6am- around 2:30pm) and I paid extra for the night time Safari. Had I have known I would have booked the 3 day safari and skipped the Panorama tour. I would have liked more safari time included or guaranteed optional somehow.
But otherwise, the transport to and from Johannesburg to the lodge was comfortable and well organised and air conditioned! and there were enough comfort breaks. the hotel options were good, I stayed in the more budget friendly option and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, a positive experience.

Best tour operator and great experience in Namibia!
Safari with us is the best agency I have ever used. They are very professional, supportive, patient and not expensive. We have booked the tour with several rounds of schedule change and re-quote with them. They are being very patient and responsive with us all the time. After confirmation, we were not pushed to pay all the fee before we get visa done. Visa process was extremely complicated and consulate kept asking for additional documents, which are not required from any other country. Every time the agency sent back the required files within the same day although there is time difference and many times what has been required was not reasonable at all. Even though we tried our best to fulfill the requirement, I still didn’t get the visa approval one week before departure. The agency helped me to contact consulate and get the final approval within two days. Without their kind support, we would not have the chance to visit one of the most beautiful country. The tour was organized very well with driving guide, who took care of all logistic, accommodation and activities. We saved a lot of time and energy. We could enjoy the trip fully. Guide was very professional and experienced, so that we could see all kind of animals, scenic and experience the best of Namibia. After knowing that I am interested to visit rescue centers to learn more about those volunteer programs, he added a stop for us at the Cheetah Conservation Fund without requesting additional costs. Great experience, beautiful Country and kind people. Highly recommended to contact Safari with us for your trip.

Quality 3 night safari tour
From the moment I contacted safari with us to the return journey to Johannesburg I cannot fault the level of service and communication provided. They took the effort to find the vibe of accommodation for the price I wanted to pay …. Rissington Inn… PERFECT!! Although we didn’t pay, and nor did we ever expect, but we had private transfers to and from our hotel in Johannesburg and private vehicles for both days of our safari. Our guide Shadrack was personable, polite and informative making our safari experience beyond expectations! I would not hesitate to book with this company…. Thank you from 2 very happy Australians :)

Hilarious and Generous Tour
I planned a private safari for myself and my colleagues to Pilanesberg and Andre made it so seamless and easy to book and plan. We were also delighted to have MK deliver an educational and informative tour. Excellent value for your money!

Excellent and friendly service as usual.
I book my safari travels (one or two times per year) from 2017 with Safari With US. South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe. Andre always arrange everything to my full satisfaction, although my requests often include reserves "off the beaten path". Communications are excellent, fast and reliable, drivers and guides are highly professional. In simple words - I highly recommend this company and will book my safari with them next year as well.

Great variety of experiences
We had a great time on safari in Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand. Before the trip, Safari With Us was very responsive to our questions, and they arranged an excellent variety of types of experiences over the five days so we got to try all sorts of things. The drivers who took us to and from the airport and guided us on the Panorama Tour were on time and safe drivers, and they were happy to answer all our questions about the area we were driving through. Safari With Us also arranged safari drives for us with two different lodges and an independent tour operator, all of which we enjoyed a lot and covered an amazing range of animals. I'd be very happy to work with them again!

Amazing!
Our family of four (2x adults, 2x teenagers) had a wonderful time in the Kruger and Sabi Sands. A great mix of big picture game drive in the Kruger followed by much more intimate drives in the Sabi. We were lucky enough to see wild dog and lion, plus a leopard kill (extremely rare). The guides were very knowledgable, the accommodation (especially in Sabi Sands) top notch and the transfers from airport all smooth and timely. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent choice! Great value for money!
SafariWithUs provided a flawless travel experience with attentive service and meticulous planning that exceeded all expectations. We loved Madagascar, with all its endemic animals and plants, as well as its culture and food.

Good value for the money, responsive team, and great people to work with!
We had a fabulous safari! The Safari with Us staff responded promptly to emails and answered every question we had before the trip. They were reasonably priced when I compared them online, and the value of the trip itself exceeded the price. On the trip, each element (transportation, accommodation, etc.) worked smoothly and lived up to our expectations. On the game drives, we saw so many animals, and the hospitality at the lodge was incredible. Everything went so smoothly and we would repeat the trip in a heartbeat!
