The dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat say Africa
Words cannot express the joy, excitement and awe we felt. This was a life changing trip for my family and I . Thank you for all of the breath taking safaris, coordination, fun , delicious food, expertise of the Kanyezi teams and leadership such as Chris, Manie and Chip, life changing experiences petting a cheetah, feeding owls, holding a black eagle, friendship and fellowship with new friends. We would definitely go with this tour group again and again.
The dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat say Africa .
Absolutely fascinating. All our needs were met. It totally exceeded my expectations.
Everything was wonderful. The rooms, the food, the staff. Our tracker and ranger were the best. Go Ruth’s Ruthless Renegades.
I will always remember this amazing trip. We saw every animal possible. I learned so much about the environment and the animals. Absolutely amazing
My heart is in Africa

An unforgettable trip with Kanyezi Africa!
All was as promised! Beyond my expectations. Met at the airport by Chris himself with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Clean, modern van. Our stay at Stellenbosch at the winery was wonderful. Great food, beautiful rooms. Capetown and Cape of Good Hope tours fantastic. Our guide Manie was amazing. Then on to Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge in Kruger Park. Absolutely gorgeous place. Rooms awesome. Can’t say enough. The safari can’t be put into words. Saw the big 5 and then some. Then on to Victoria Falls. Again a fantastic experience.
For anyone wanting a trip of a lifetime go with Kanyezi!

Absolutely incredible experience!
I can’t say enough about Kanyezi, they go above and beyond. There were four of us, my 87 year old Mom, my sister and my Mom’s friend. We did Capetown staying at Spier Wine Farm in the Stellenbosch area, Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge in Kruger National Park and A’Zambezi River Lodge in Victoria Falls. From the time Chris met us at the airport in Capetown to our last day in Victoria Falls, everything was just fantastic. The service from Kanyezi was A+, they were always checking to see if we were happy with everything and if there was anything we needed. They had some special surprises for us that I won’t reveal as I don’t want to spoil it for future guests. The accommodations were great. We particularly loved Sabi Sabi where we had amazing villas, wonderful meals and great service. I loved the Boma dinners outside under the stars. The excursions in Capetown and Victoria Falls were all wonderful. Our Safari was beyond my expectations. I couldn’t believe how close we got to the animals. We saw the big five many times. Our ranger Zwa was so knowledgeable and took such good care of us. We even did a bush walk, which before I went I said I wouldn’t do but am glad I did. Before we left I had read reviews that spoke of the trip being life changing, I understand now where the writers were coming from. I have never had a trip stay with me like this one. Thank you Chris and Manie, you are the best!

Trip of a lifetime!
Toured Cape Town, Leadwood Dulini Lodge in Kruger NP, and Victoria Falls.
Each location was an outstanding experience. Lodging, meals, service, events - all top notch.
Highlight was Dulini outings in the morning and evening for several days. Saw and took "up close" pictures of African wild game including Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Rhino, Hippo, Crockadile, Wart Hogs, Wild Dogs, Giraffe, Greater Kudu, Nyala, Impala and many more. Ranger Morha Leigh and Tracker Christopher were a delight! Knowledgeable, good communicators, and fun to be with.
Loved it all!

Absolutely superb and unforgettable!
I wish I could find the words to describe the trip, the memories, that are still so alive within me.
One of those once in a life time trips from beginning to end. Just perfect all around. Thank you!

Trip of a Lifetime.
Everything was taken care of from plane tickets, to our hotel in Johannesburg for our layover before setting off to Sabi Sabi the next day. The wildlife sighings, people at the lodge were fantastic. Chris the owner met us at our hotel in Johannesburg to go over the details of our safari. I am looking forward to another trip to South Africa.

Provided everything you wanted; whenever it was wanted; in a professional / friendly manner.
Kanyezi made you feel welcome; made you fee safe ; made sure you had an experience of a lifetime; and enhanced your knowledge of South Africa. Expectations were exceeded in all facets of the trip. Just can’t say enough.

Perfect Tour - Truly a Trip of a Lifetime!
We went on the 14-Day Capetown-Kruger tour (Spiers Wine Farm in Stellenbosch and Sabi Sabi in Kruger) in the summer of 2017. Without hesitation I would give Michael, Chris, and the rest of the Kanyezi staff a very well deserved 5-Star rating for the entire experience. Communication prior to the trip was excellent, and the organization and experiences of the trip were all first rate. Our days in both the Capetown area and Sabi Sabi were a perfect mix of both planned day trips and free time, allowing us to make the most of each location in a calm, relaxed manner. We keep checking the Kanyezi website to see if we can work in a return trip!!

Luxury treatment from an experienced safari operator
We took the combination tour with Kanyezi Safaris of Cape Town (while staying at Spiers Wine Farm in Stellenbosch, safari (staying at Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp) and Victoria Falls in May of 2018. The weather was perfect for us, although South Africa had been suffering from a bad drought. The little bit of rain on one day that we did have was welcome to all. Michael (son of the owner Chris) kept us well-informed about everything!! Questions were answered quickly.
Kanyezi planned excellent activities and free time for Cape Town and the coast...the highlight for me being the penguin colony and a surprise picnic held along the coast. Spiers is a great place to stay with wine tastings, good food, and activities. There are shuttles to get one to places like other restaurants.
We were extremely pleased to be placed at Little Bush Camp in Sabi Sabi. I've never before received such royal treatment! It was a small group taking out two safari vehicles twice each day. For cool mornings we even had hot water bottles for comfort! A morning stop for coffee and snacks and an afternoon stop for “Sundowners” and snacks helped to keep up our energy for looking for Cape Buffalo, lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants (including some babies!), rhinos, hyenas, and millions of birds. Meals were served in different locations and in different forms to keep things constantly interesting. The staff at Little Bush Camp did all they could to make our stay comfortable, entertaining, and informative.
We opted for the helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and also had a river cruise and bomba dinner included in that part of the trip.
Once in a lifetime trip? Would we do it again? YES! We are already scheduled for another trip in October of this year!
