Reviews
Well organized, excellent guide, good game drives.
The 3-day Pilanesberg-safari was really good. We are very satisfied, especially with our guide Raymond - he was the best! He was not only a good chef and a nice company, he was also very experienced and told us many interesting things about the animals. A nice guy, always with a smile!
The tents were perfect, much bigger than we thought they would be.
We had good game drives and were lucky to see lots of animals, even lions, Cheetah and Lepard.
outstanding service , driver amazing we had nothing to do just sit back and enjoy
We travelled overland to Sabi Sandi Notten's lodge for a four night stay. We were a family of 5 staying in 2 lodges. The game drives were amazing and we easily spotted the big 5 on more than one occasion ,all up close. The service and quality of the lodges was outstanding , the staff, food and drink amazing. I would highly recommend this Safari. Our driver to and from Johannesburg was friendly and very helpful . We also did a day trip of Johannesburg with Safari With Us

Fantastic tour with the best guide
The Garden route tour was an absolute success. Our guide really made sure we had the best experience in everything we did, whether it was safari driving, bungy jumping, finding great food or having a laugh. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our Garden route tour.

Everything as described
Everything was as described or better. We enjoyed our tour guides, each was knowledgeable and tried to fulfill our expectations. Our accommodations were as we expected and very clean. The staff at the lodge and the treehouse were great. The food was good and Collette, the hostess at the treehouse went out of her way to be accommodating and friendly.

The tour was very good, the guide had excellent quality, his explanations were very interesting.
Hello, we spent our in South Africa at the beginning of February 2019. Our travel agency in Hungary booked us the 5 Day Garden Route Tour, from 6th to 10th of Feb 2019. Our guide was Machiel. We were lucky to have him as our guide throughout the 5 days. He explained a lot, about nature, history, animals, as well. He was always happy. He was very helpful not just with us, but also with other tourists. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our days on our tour very much.
Thanks, Machiel, we wish you all the best.
Greetings from Hungary, from István and Ibolya

Safari With Us exceeded all expectations. Faultless and Professional!
Our 3 day stay at Madigwe Game Reserve was arranged to perfection. The Safari was tailored to meet our needs and the numerous communications were amazingly prompt and informative.
Our driver to Madigwe Thabo was simply the best! Nothing was too much trouble and he was a wealth of information.
Payment for our tour was made through a secure website which was a bonus, as many other (legitimate) tour operators requested credit card details by email.
Numerous and varied bookings were made for our 4 week adventure in South Africa, but Safari With Us by far, stood out as the best to deal with.
Thank you Andre Retief and your team of professionals.
Simply excellent!!
Way better than expectation
It was my first trip to SA with very less information in my head. I randomly picked Safaribookings.com by the friendly layout of the page and picked Safari With us by affordable price and traveling period. I knew nothing and I asked quite a lot. Appreciated that your website provided me a good answer and I got many email correspondences with Safari with us that made me feel comfortable and filled me with useful information. Anyway the most important thing is the actual trip that was amazing in every way. The door to door transit were great. I absolutely love every minutes in the trip. Because my biology clock is 5 hr ahead the dinner were always a bit too big but very good. Tour put me and my friend in the small group with another nice couple for the whole trip which made me feel very comfortable. For the Safari, even tough our guides know that it's my first Safari which will make me happy with everything but I can sense that they still tried to give us the best experience in just a short time that we had. (We saw 4 from the big 5 in 3 days trip which is exactly as I was informed before that the chance is 80%.)
This trip makes me one of the fan of South Africa and will always be.

An amazing 3-days safari experience!
The whole experience was better than what we expected. We started the safari in 3 people from Johannesburg; Thabo, our driver, came to fetch us on time and we discovered to be the only costumers of the trip. He has been very precise, polite and funny. We arrived at the Adventure lodge to discover that my parents had a quadruple room and I got a double. Rooms were of course very spacious and neat. We went out for a satisfying safari in the evening and came back to a marvelous dinner. The next day was a full day safari, an experience you won't forget. Again, the dinner was amazing. Finally, on the last day, we had a huge breakfast and left to Johannesburg again. I highy recommend Safari With Us.

Grat experience across the board
From the outset (meaning when I booked in April) communication was swift and efficient. When I actually got there, the service was even better. The room is very comfortable and the two extra blankets made me so comfortable (South Africa is surprisingly cold in August) that I didn't even have to bother with the space heater. Apart from Andre himself, his assistant Debbie was absolutely amazing. She made me some excellent T bone steak braai (my first experience with Braai!) the evening before I set off to Kruger. After I came back, she made me some excellent chicken along with the best bread pudding I ever had. Prior to my departure for safari she also picked up some insect spray for me.
Andre helped me arrange tours of both Soweto and Pretoria. This was a pleassnt surprise, because my plan all along had been to stay at the Lodge because of negative things I'd heard about Johannesburg in the media. Safari with us will help you enjoy greater Johannesburg. Just as it will help you enjoy greater Kruger.
Both Kruger and Greater Kruger were phenomenal. I got my big five (including the leopard which I was NOT expecting), along with countless other incredible animals from dwarf mongoose to hippos and giraffes that are NOT in the big five. The key to having a great experience on safari, I feel, is to go in free of expectations, and be able to appreciate a gennet or mongoose as you would a lion or rhino. There is so much more to Kruger than just the big five.
Another key is to go with Safari With Us. You won't regret it.
