Awful experience - will never use this company again
After arriving from a fabulous trip in Masai in Kenya which was exemplorary - Kruger experience in terms of accomodation and service whilst trying to resolve the situation was disappointing to say the least. We had spent almost 10k CAD for 6 people and after seeing where we were accomodated (between a caravan park and gas station) and that we would be required to spend most of our family time in this dump (between 2 drives - we decided to leave after 10 minutes of arriving. Our kids would not even sleep on the beds provide in teh chalets (size of a washroom) and washrooms and shower were pathetic (unlike pictures sent to us).
People i dealt with were Bjorn Van Huyssteen and Alexis Boshoff amongst many others...
What a wate of 100 000 ZAR
Spent 2 days driving back to JHB as we could not get a return flight and miscommunication wth tour operator. Alos promised a refund which unsurprisingly we were later informed after numerous call - that they will not refund a cent.
Emabarrassed as a South African who previously spoke highly of SA and services offered here. Never again will i use this company or anyone assocaited with them. Especially as they did not even have an idea of whwre we were staying or never visisted thsi place.
Was also advised that ony after payment was made that airport taxes will be an additional 17% of total package already paid...
BTW - 3 star meal and wine - meant shhopping at local store and cooking in a common kitchen and then carrying your own chairs to "dining area" about 400m away..

Andy Saidy made fantasies come to life!
I relied completely on KrugerPark.com, and especially Andy Saidy to put together my holiday ... and I was not disappointed! Everything I had dreamed and fantasized about Africa came true and was brought to life. From the exceptional staff at every lodge I visited, the literal "works of art" that were my dinner plates, the 5 Star accommodations, to the animals, animals, animals! And I won't even attempt to describe the beauty of Africa itself! My transfers were all handled smoothly, efficiently and with a great deal of aplomb due to the drivers being so well informed with not only the locale, but also about my itinerary, timing, and destinations.
Not only did I see the Big 5 many times, but had the opportunity to see a Leopard relaxing after having finished her meal for the day, several Pride of Lion, 2 young male Giraffe toughing it out with each other, but Zebra, Hippo, Giraffe, Crocodile, Kudu, and too many others to mention. Animals I didn't even know existed!
If you have longed for a lifetime to see even a small part of Africa as I had, or even if you're simply contemplating someplace new to visit, I highly recommend KrugerPark.com and Andy Saidy with the utmost of confidence that your Safari will be a stunning success and will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime!

Awesome holiday
Communication from the beginning with Anthea was excellent, we planned our trip months in advance & were kept up to date throughout. she listened to everything we asked for & tailor made our trip which turned out to be one of our best ever at Ulusaba. All our transfers arrived on time & drivers were very polite & friendly. Accommodation was first class. The cost was comparable to other companies & we are already planning a return trip to South Africa only this time to see the garden route & will definitely use them again

Service, timeliness, and courtesy brings us back to Bongani Mountain Lodge.
Bjorn assisted us with clear communication and was always at the ready to assist us with our return to Bongani Mountain Lodge, our home away from home. The food, entertainment, and game drives were more than we expected, as were the manager and staff. We spent time working at the primary school in the nearby village of Lepesi and were assisted in our efforts by management at the lodge. It is clear to us that our experience was life changing. What a blessing to be in Africa and enjoying the people and the animals!

Helpful and cheery, variable in communications
We did self cater, self drive to Kruger.
Service was helpful and upbeat. Booking consultant was very enthusiastic and friendly. Information regarding the cost conservation fees for foreigners could have been more specific. Generally, given we had an unfortunate cancellation the outcome has been favourable and Kruger.com assisted in the credit.
We enjoyed our Kruger visit.

Everything but a Unicordn
We stayed at Jock Safari Lodge for our trip to Kruger National Park and that decision made all of the difference. The facilities were wonderful, the staff was outstanding, and our ranger (Jacob) was so amazing that we jokingly asked if he would be showing us a unicorn - since he'd already shown us the Big Five, the Ugly Five plus many other things everyday that we were there it made sense to think he could find a mythical animal too.
The days involve a 5am wake-up call, 5:30am coffee, and out on a drive in the dark to look for absolutely amazing animals. Then breakfast - lunch - tea and an evening drive before dinner. Read the reviews that talk about chilly mornings and evenings and plan accordingly based on time of year.
Our 4 day/3 night stay was just about right. The size of the lodge (12 luxury huts) limits what you can do between drives. The rangers do a great job of communicating where the animals are so no two days were alike.
We worked through a broker for Kruger accommodations and he was thrilled that this property was available for us - we were thrilled as well

Awesome Kruger
Everything was excellent from day one. My wife and I had an amazing and unforgettable stay at the kapama southern camp. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Everything was above expectations (location, service, safari, all)

Awesome experiences and fun
We appreciated the Tydon safaris from 28 May to 1 June. There was a great variety in the 9 major activities we participated in………..and we saw the Big 5 many times. It was good to have the variety of private reserves and Kruger National Park. Tydon staff were very helpful and fun to be with. They had heaps of enthusiasm.
I just wish we had bought or been supplied with a map so we know where we were!
