Good trip
Nice trip, but tell the driver in the park to don't focus only in the famous big 5. For european, even a small coloured bird, strange rat , zebra, antelope, is amazing!

Arranged relatively smoothly
The safari and lodge were excellent. I would highly recommend Umkumbe Lodge. The tour company staff lacked attention to detail and customer care (forgetting to send vouchers among othe things). The itinerary I was given before the trip was slightly off by 30 min here and there and things weren't well communicated all the time. However, overall we had an amazing experience and everything worked out!

Everything was good organised.
Sometimes it could be better explained what we are doing and what’s happening next. Also it would be nice when we arrived to get a quick change but there was no time for…we hat to get quickly to our safari. All in all ist was a nice time there. The service was good und the people are friendly.

Good but room for improvement
Overall pleased with our booking, but we experienced some minor conveniences.
For our first sunset drive, we got picked up about 1 hour late. And also, some of us chose to do the optional sunrise game drive the last day, which according to the program were supposed to be in Kruger. Instead we went to the same reserve as we visited the first night, which was a bit disappointing.
All our guides were attentive and listened to our preferences. Our Kruger guide, Lambs, made an extra effort for us to get to see the lions. We would highly recommend him.
The timbavati safari lodge was authentic , and we enjoyed our stay there. The food was good and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Very friendly but driving too fast, elaborating too much on information that's not interesting.
Lamps was very kind and friendly, but we felt like he was elaborating too much on information that most tourists on the vehicle did not find interesting. Our suggestion would be for hom as a tour operator to ask what the tourists are interested in (e.g. big game, birdwatching, etc) before starting the tour to cater for their specific interests, instead of focusing for example on history when no one is interested in it.
He spoke a lot and provided a lot of information on each animal, but didn't provide time to take in the animals in silence and have the whole experience.
He was also speeding through on the dirt roads and swerving out for animal and car tracks which made a very bumpy ride for all tourists on the vehicle.

It is the budget safari you are looking for.
Communication was fluent with the operator. They write to you via WhatsApp as soon as you book and they set up the pick-ups with you.
Accommodation is what the pictures show you.
Food is their weakest point, below expectations. They can improve the food.
From the offer they have, they did not fulfil to light a fire even when we asked to.
Great, one of the staff is cool. Overall, friendly staff.
They seem to appreciate the tips a lot because they start talking about them since the very beginning.
If you book more than one tour through them. They will give you a cool discount.
It was okay but could be a ton better.
I do recommend this tour of Soweto but be careful, they will try to pull at your heart strings and bring you to the slum area at the beginning to meet pre school kids in their “kindergarten “ building so that you will donate to the facility. Be prepared to have to give tips to different people too on this trip. The Nelson Mandela and Hector Pieterson memorial were the ones I wanted to see but the latter was rushed.
A bit over-promised
All in all it was ok. The bus from Joburg to Hoedspruit was small, packed and warm. It had a flat tire when we left.
The 3 hour sunset tour felt a bit stingy as we were the only vehicle that looked worn out and we didn’t have any wine or beer during the snack moment. Only soft drinks and water. The other cars were very well taken care of with nice glasses etc.
The tour guides were amazing though.

Experienced and knowledgeable driver
Unfortunately the weather was awful, we experienced a lot of rain, and see very little amounts of animals. The safari driver was very experienced and knowledgeable.
I would suggest visiting another national parks instead.
Marketing team is annoying and harassing for reviews. Wouldn’t let go.
