Reviews
Efficient and professional
We booked the 4-night stay at the Raddisson in Hoedspruit, including roundtrip flights from Cape Town. MoA handled our booking efficiently and professionally, with Lavender in the main office being particularly helpful, including prompt responses via email to our many questions.
The tours themselves were well-managed, with excellent guides, especially Evince (probably misspelled -- sorry), whom we had twice, and who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, and where to look for them. But the other guides were also quite good.
The sunset drive was spectacular -- as perhaps was to be expected in a private reserve where the animals are more constrained. But so was the full-day safari in Kruger NP the next day. It helped that the weather was cloudy. The Panoramic Route on Day 3 was well worth it and a welcome break; bring hiking gear. Our second Kruger safari on Day 4 was nice but not as good -- it was simply too hot, so fewer animals and more discomfort. The guide did what he could, but we gave up a bit early. We didn't bother with the sunrise drive our last day, choosing to sleep in and enjoy the outstanding buffet breakfast, rather than getting up at 5 with a decent but unexceptional packed breakfast. But others who went said it had been worth it -- not surprising, since it was back in the private reserve.
Flying directly to Hoedspruit (HDS) was a definite plus, as the airport is only 15 minutes from the hotel -- and has a surprisingly nice gift shop as well as decent food for what is essentially a 1-room airport. Everyone else in our group flew to/from Johannesburg, requiring a 5-hour drive. And the Raddisson can only be described as luxurious, with excellent service (and food).
Minor glitches did occur: We didn't get lunch until well after 2 PM on our first day in Kruger. Our guide for the Panoramic Route found a leak in a tire before we started, causing a delay as he stopped to change it -- but better that than the alternative. And, unlike others in our group, we were never sent a detailed schedule, showing estimated pickup and dropoff times. But none of these would cause us to downgrade our rating.

We had an incredible 4-day stay!
We were picked up by staff at our hostel in Johannesburg to start our 4-day safari. The view during the busride was amazing. Once we got to Sekekama tented lodge, we were able to put all of our stuff in our tent. Thereafter, we went for the sunset safari. This was absolutely amazing! Everything is completely taken care of - food, drinks, transport, guides, etc - which makes it a very peaceful trip. Same counted for the following days!
Staff is also very friendly and helpful. I was not able to go on the regular Kruger safari on day 2, but they arranged for me to do the sunset safari instead (for free). Pricing is also very good, especially compared to similar lodges in this area. Each night they make a typical African dinner, which was amazing!
Overall, very good experience at Sekekama lodge, good pricing, good food, amazing staff and guides!

Everything was great organised!
The best part was the full day safari tour with our guide Eddie. He is so much fun and loves his job obviously. Highly recommended!

Eddie is amazing! He’s funny, intelligent and tried diligently to find the animals we requested
I think MoAfrika Tours is good for first safari tourists but not the best for those who’ve been on multiple trips, as I felt many things were inefficient, and some of the safari tours were repetitive.

Very respectful and with a lot of knowledge
It was great we learned a lot with Stalneys knowledge! We saw almost every big 5, just missed the leopard, which Stanley tried to find! He answers all the questions and tries to teach as much as he can.
Seen lots of different species of animals, loved!
