Fun tour of Cape Town area and an amazingly wonderful safari in Kruger National Park.
The was a very good tour. We had some initial misunderstanding about the total cost of the bush flights to the game area, and the pre-arranged flights were not very direct. Ethiopian Airlines also lost my luggage for almost the whole two weeks of the trip. Otherwise, we enjoyed the entire trip. We stayed at Spier Wine Estate in Stollenbosch, which was wonderful with great service and good wine. The accommodations were great. But the safari itself in Sabi Sands Game Reserve was an eye-opener. The accommodations at Dulini Leadwood Lodge were better than fantastic, and the wildlife viewing was better than I could have imagined. We had elephants and baboons sitting by our deck pool and there were constant antelope outside our door and windows. Really, I can't imagine a better safari than what we experienced. The tracker and ranger we had for four nights and days were bright and knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. They spoke very good English and knew a lot about the animals. We will always remember this trip.

On safari with Kanyezi
We completed our first safari with Kanyezi and I have to say that it was an amazing experience. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and without a doubt this was the best vacation we have ever had. The time spent in the Cape Town area at the Spier wine estate was fun and relaxing and there was plenty of wine to sample. But the best part of the trip was staying at the Dulini lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and going on two safaris a day. We saw it all – every animal on the magnificent seven list was spotted. We had a male lion pass within ten inches of our vehicle. We had a herd of elephants come right up to our Dulini apartment and one of them actually drink out of our swimming pool. The staff at Dulini are excellent and the accommodations are truly 5 star. I highly recommend Kanyezi.

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.

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!

Exceeded expectations
In late October, Early November, my wife and I took the 16 day package which included time in Cape Town, Kruger National Park in South Africa and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
The ultimate experience of the tour was in Kruger where we saw a multitude of animals. Our first request was to see wild dogs. In five minutes we were observing a pack of wild dogs. We later saw a juvenile leopard that had downed an antelope but before he could eat it a hyena stole his meal. Undaunted he caught a duiker and went up a tree to safely eat his meal. In two days we saw the big five. If it is photos of animals you want you can’t get closer and in a better position for these pictures.
We met some great people from Georgia and Virginia who were our Jeep mates. A more compatible group could not have been found. Our guide and tracker had excellent skills in following animals and were very knowledgeable. Their positive and friendly nature added to the pleasure of the trip. All aspects of this trip were excellent. I would highly recommend this trip for animal lovers and anyone concerned about the planet.

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 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!

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 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
