Fun Safari
Bjorn was very helpful with making our arrangements especially since we were on a tight schedule. There was a little miss communication about where they were supposed to pick us up, but it worked out after we called them. The 5-6 hr drive from JNB to Tremisana Lodge was very long in a crowded van. It was exciting to see all the animals on the night and morning game drives. We saw 4 of the Big five. The leopard escaped us. The accommodations were adequate and the food was ok. The staff was great! Overall, we really enjoyed our safari.

We did the 3 day kruger camping safari and it was good!
Everything was up to expectations and we even saw the Big 5 (bar the white rhino). The tents we stayed in was great, with fan, power source and lights. Showering facilities were a couple minutes of walk away from our tents. We felt safe and secure. Food served was good as well and met plenty of awesome people from around the world as we chatted during dinner. Service from everyone was good as well. However, we were told that in the itinerary we will have a campfire where safaris stories would be shared but that did not happen. All in all, a great value for money!

Great lodging, good food, long van ride to actual lodge
Safari Bookings was very accommodating and worked around our schedule to provide the best safari experience in our time constraints. We had some issues with communication as we were unaware of the time it was recommended to land in Johannesbrg and we ended up having to cut the safari a day short because of it. There was a 6-7 hour drive from Jburg to the Reserve which we were also unaware of until we got in the van to make the trip at 7am. We would definitely do this again but I recommend flying into an airport closer to Kruger if you want to avoid two whole days of driving in the car to and from the reserve. The safari and Game Drives were amazing! We didn't see the leopard but the open air vehicles and guides were fantastic! The food at Thorn was delicious.
Very good service from Shondre
Shondre was helpful in every sense and send me all required maps etc. on short notice.
I just think that the tour operators must go and stay in each of those camps and lodges to have first hand experience. Like all of Goverment run places the park and the camps we visited were really way below standard.
The Nkambeni Tented lodge do have lovely food and dinner buffets. But every night at 2.00'and 5.00"there is trains running past the camp. The noise can wake up the dead.
OK
We stayed at the Hilltop camp in hluhluwe game park, and the breakfast was excellent, thanks !
However the plumbing at the ablutions are very bad and need an upgrade.

5 day Kruger Park trip a great success that exceeded our expectations
The company was flexible when accommodating our dates and locations, made all the arrangements and connections, tours etc. were on schedule. It would have been nice to have a little more details about where we would be staying and what the experience would be like before the trip. Transport outside the park was very good and all the drivers exceptional - Jojo in particular deserves a mention as we learnt so much from him. Accommodations in the park at Skukuza were better than expected, air-conditioning a real treat and maid service tremendous. Outlook was the local operator and provided a well planned itinerary with enough options to give some flexibility. We were very lucky with all our game drives and wide variety of animals we saw, including rare wild dogs and a leopard.

Everything good except...
I knew before coming that this very short package (3 days including transfers) would not satisfy my expectations from a safari tour. But wanted to have an experience to be able to know what to choose, what to bring, etc for the next time that I plan to be at last a week. The trip served the objective.
It's not a joke, it's a safari with big five and lots of wild animals. very friendly staff. Good facilities.
Unfortunately when it comes to information and communication with organizers on the field it is very poor.
The reception doesn't know when the drive starts, from where you will be picked by the driver, even what time you have to leave.
No decent plan of the premises exists so after dark it is only by chance to find your bungalow.

Easy online booking
We were looking for accommodation within Kruger National Park during a busy time when no SA National Parks accommodation was available. Ruben from KrugerPark.com recommended Nkambeni Tented Lodge as it suited our budget and our preferred location. With Ruben's help, we made our booking completely online from Australia in about 20 minutes. This was good service.
Nkambeni Tented Lodge was ok but not spectacular. The buffet style evening meal and breakfast were good without being special. Each tent had indoor and outdoor showers and the furnishings were good. It looks like a lot of tour operators use this lodge as compared with independent travelers like ourselves. Insist on tents near the main facilities if you do not want to walk 100s of metres each way.

Great experience and enjoyable
The guides were knowledgeable and explained a lot about the animals and took the time to point out so much that I was not aware of. The Rodaville was clean and well kept however the meas though great on the bushbrei were were plain and steaks (ostrich) were tough. Suggest better cooking or steak knives. Over all great value and experience
