Excellent Itinerary and Arrangements
We had a wonderful time on Safari arranged by Shinzelle with wonderful memories. The team from Shinzelle including Danielle and our guide Derrick took care of all of the arrangements including airport pickup, lodging and the Safari tours at Kruger. The staff and guides at Ukumbe Safari Lodge arranged for great Safari experiences in Sabi Sands where we saw Lion, Leopard, Rhino and Elephant. Everything was perfect, making our visit such a memorable experience.

Great experience, great organisation, amazing guide
Our experience with Shinzelle has been perfect at all levels.
Communication was easy and reactive, the indication very precise and the organisation very smooth.
For the rest, what to say ? We've been lucky to have an amazing guide with Keegan who knows Kruger perfectly and was a great companion for the our entire stay in Kruger. Kruger is an amazing experience that will stay in our memories for a long long time.
Honestly, we were expecting a lot and it was better than our expectations. The fact that it is a private Safari makes it a truly beautiful experience, very special and it worths the extra-money.
In term of accommodation & food, it was perfect.
Recommended 100%

Honeymoon In Kruger
One of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. My wife and I took the 4 Day tour in July 2019. Everything was unbelievable. Jay is the best safari guide anyone could ever ask for. We had him to ourselves for most of our trip and we had so much fun. Great personality, incredible knowledge of the park and the animals in it. He made it his mission to find everything that we wanted to see. The accommodations were beautiful. We stayed in the honeymoon suite at The Windmill Country Retreat. Everything was first class. The hospitality, service and food were all top notch. We had candle lit dinners waiting for us each night when we came back from our safari. We will DEFINITELY be coming back in the future. Anyone considering doing a safari in Kruger should do it with Shinzelle.

Great Safari with a competent and very friendly crew
I booked with Shinzelle after my daughter traveled with them a couple of years ago: I was not disappointed. Not only they are very professional, but they also make you feel like you're part of their family. Their guides are very knowledgeable about the animals and the ecosystem. They are also very safety conscious and respectful of the fragile environment they bring you in. They listen to your wishes and will try to accommodate them as much as possible. Their trucks are in very good condition and they keep the number of guests per truck low for everyone to have ample room and take the perfect shot.
Highly recommended!

The best Kruger experience
I had the best trip to Kruger with Shinzelle Safaris. Everything was taken care of for me. Someone picked me up from the airport, took me to Hazyview for a transfer to another vehicle that took me to the Windmill Country Retreat. Then they took care of us the whole time we were there until it was time to repeat the trip back to the airport.
Our guides were top notch. They took us into the park and were pretty good at avoiding the crowds and getting us a more intimate experience with the animals. We saw the Big Five within the first two trips, and each subsequent trip was just us getting better pictures of the animals. It was a blast.
When we weren't in the park, we had a nice little cottage to unwind in. Each evening, they cooked a great dinner for us. They were even able to do laundry for us, allowing us to pack even lighter for our trip. Sadly, we didn't have any monkey visitors to see, but we did have a nice little Dik Dik eating outside our cottage one evening.
All in all, if you're thinking of visiting Kruger, use Shinzelle Safaris. Everyone was nice and more than willing to do whatever was necessary to give us the best trip we could get.

Excellent, unique safari operator and lodge.
My wife and I booked with Shinzelle as part of our honeymoon visit to SA. The experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Communications with the owners were clear and timely, staff at the lodge were beyond friendly and helpful, and our guide Jason was great as both an animal tracker AND a companion. The very first morning we went out with him he found us a leopard that another truck had just blown heedlessly by, and got us so close to it you could tell it had blue eyes. His knowledge of the animals and environment was unmatched, and his skill at understanding the park got us fantastic sightings that many other guides would have missed. Absolutely would book with Shinzelle again on a return visit.
