Reviews
We were (10 of us) thrilled with our Kruger experience. It was certainly the highlight of our trip.
Well everything worked out so well and we agreed it was one of best experiences we have had. To see those amazing animals and birds in their natural surroundings and just going about their business was amazing to see. The guides were terrific and very knowledgeable and how they could drive and look out for animals at the same time really amazed us. The accommodation was above our expectations and the food - well it was first class (good on you cooks!) Moses was a great organiser and carried us safely from Johannesburg. FJ and Matthew were fantastic guides. Elsabe was very attentive to our needs when booking the trip. All in all a wonderful experience, and thanks to everyone. I forgot to mention Outlook Lodge - it was excellent and meals also great.

Very well organized organization with very pleasant, professional staff.
Excellent flow regarding transportation from/to JoBurg & Kruger. Safaris always left at the predetermined time. Safari vehicles were never overcrowded and guides were very knowledgeable, especially Cedrik. He was very passionate about his work and shared several amusing folklore stories about the animals. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and adequate. The food was exceptionally good and plentiful. Light meals before early morning safaris were particularly appreciated! I would recommend Outlook Safaris.

Fantastic safari experience with Outlook Safaris!
Thank you so much for the most wonderful safari experience, Outlook!
We did the Classic Kruger tour for 4 days and absolutely loved every minute. Thanks to Outlook's attention to detail and fantastic customer service - we had a truly amazing trip. For those of you still debating whether to book this adventure, I highly recommend it.
Here are some details about our experience:
We booked the trip after Google searching companies in the area. Outlook's representative, Elsabe, was incredibly helpful and answered my multitude of questions without any hesitation. I had never gone on a safari before and was a little wary about the entire experience, but Elsabe was great about addressing each of my concerns and more.
We ended up flying into Johannesburg airport and were met at the airport by an Outlook guide who was super sweet. Once we arrived at Kruger, we went out on a sunset safari that very day with the Kruger team and it was amazing. Over the course of our stay, we went on a safari every sunrise and sunset with the Outlook team. Thanks to the expertise of the guides, each safari was fantastic and we easily were able to see the Big 5 plus many more!
Finally, the food served throughout our stay was really great. The kitchen team knew exactly what they were doing and just stuffed us with great food.
I really cannot say enough about the fantastic staff - they were the reason we had such a wonderful experience!
Thanks you! Thank you!

5 perfect days in Kruger
Perfect 5 stars experience! Far beyond my expectations! So good that I promised myself that I will sit down and write an appropriate review! They deserve it!
I took the tour of 5 days (4 nights). It all started with Elsabe whom I was in contact with by email for few weeks – Super nice! Answered every question super-fast sending always helpful information and always with grace!
Starting from the drive from Jbourg to Skukuza, through each and every game drive and each meal – Everything was just perfect! The guides, the people, the food (EXCELENT FOOD!) and well the atmosphere of the park and its amazing animals – amazing!
I missed the Leopard but I saw plenty of the other big 5 including really close lions in 4 different times. Although I really wanted to see that Leo I must say that apart from those 5 I got to see amazing scenarios only few meters away. (An elephant spotting a giraffe on his path to the lake started chasing it right near our car… 4 lionesses just about hunting a zebra etc…).
Well you have to bring your own luck but apart from that Outlook take care of everything and everything was perfect!
Already recommended it to close friends and will definitely keep doing so!
Just 2 more things – Most of the people I met there took the 3 days tour. I think it's great and it might definitely be enough; but I noticed that some of them were really anxious and afraid they won't see everything. It's a vacation you shouldn't be anxious all the time and I think that even 1 more day makes the entire trip much calmer (as it's supposed to be). If you have the possibility take at least 4 days.
One more thing – I also stayed in Jbourg at Outlook lodge – very cool calm super nice place! 10 min from the airport. If you go – don't miss dinner!
Enjoy!!!

Wonderful, thank you so much!

A day that didn’t start as planned but turned out to be a great day
In my two weeks of vacation in South Africa, I’ve done a tour with Outlook twice to the Kruger Park (couldn’t get enough of the park). As it happend to be, I was on the same tour as the previouse lady who wrote a review (Sossi). And I must say that in my perspective things were not so bad as her’s. I just asked our driver about the delay in the pick up time. Turned out that there were people who were suppose to be at the reception of there hotel (next to the airport) for the pick up but somehow had decided to go to the airport and wait there. So the driver had to go look for them and that takes time.
Yes it’s a long drive to the Kruger Park form Johannesburg, about 6 hours (not 8 or 9). And we did stop twice during the transfer. To make up a bit for the lost time, on the first stop it was decided that it would be only a short stop to buy some food and use the toilet. Reason for this was that if we didn’t do that, everybody would miss the night game drive in the Kruger park. But somebody didn’t listen to the driver and went to sit in the restaurant and ordered fresh baked waffels. Nobody knew this so it took us 20 minuts to find this lady and continue our ride. Thanks to our driver we all made it in time to go on that wonderfull evening game drive.
After that we had a lovely dinner made by the chef at the camp and had a wonderful end of a day that didn’t start as planned but turned out to be a great day.
The first stay as well as the second stay was wonderful. Just love the Kruger Park, the food of the chefs and the great guides. Thanks for everything FJ, Jarryd, Johannes, Moss, Thami, Senzeni and Bright.

Safari was fantastic but the road trip to and from was a disaster.
Helpful in booking and changing / amending booking at the last minute to an exceptionally good and exclusive safari. Picking up both times before the breakfast time at hotels and then stopping for long periods of time to pick up other passengers, once for an hour. Not stopping for food during 8-9 hours of road trip. Not friendly at all and not open to receiving feedback. Poor communication skills by the staff.

Outstanding Safari Experience
I chose option - three days in a tent. I prefer to have a contact with nature than luxury hotels. Great service - and special thanks to FJ, who showed tremendous professionalism. Great food! Fantastic Dinner times - super delicious local cuisine and wine (good chief). Great evening atmosphere. Tents were too luxurious :) comfortable beds and AC plugs (camera and phone - with full bars service - optional internet in the restaurant in Sukuza) Safari games in small groups so You dont need to worry about seats. Safari is based on luck so I had a good luck. Big 5 checked + Leopard killing Impala next to us!!! Next time I will stay longer. For a last day I recomend Blyde River Canyon!!! The most beautiful Canyon I've ever seen in my life. Great scenic route. I would definitely recommend Safari Outlook.

We enjoyed our experience so much! We booked a tent, and it was perfect. Little hot, but we had a fan. The food was great, so was the wine! Our guides were more than awesome and very knowledgeable. It was way more than out expectations. A very special thanks to FJ, Johannes, aderto, thami and Dirk. ;)
