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.
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
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.

Went two days on safari tour in Pilanesbetg.
Easy organisation and booking according my wishes.
Punctual pick up, well prepared, professional equipment, friendly and professional guide, no waiting times, cool safari, saw a lot of animals, very good food cooked, all worked well.
Really great to spend good time without bothering and organising. Felt safe all the time.
Will go again!!!
My Pilanseberg Safari
This was my first safari and memorable experience for me. Everything was well organised, and the trip went smooth. Camping made this trip even more fun for me. Our guide Thabo was great at setting up camp, preparing meals and entertaining us.
We were all really excited when we set off in a 15-seater open side vehicle, bumping and bouncing into the wild. Guides were in radio communication, so good sightings could be quickly relayed. One can see many animals on TV wild life channels but that does not compare with the real thing – These close encounters are the real thing. For example when suddenly stopped and came face to face with an inquisitive giraffe looming over the trees.
Then moving on an elephant, lumbering lazily out of the bush, in front of the truck and its wrinkly backside disappearing again. Coming out of winter and after ravaging fire, the park was dry and dusty. The landscape was dotted with shrubs and scarred trees. Guides telling Interesting facts and tales of animals to awe-struck visitors.
Stocky Warthogs, zebra flicking their tales gracefully impala, kudus and wildebeest were showing themselves. Suddenly the guide stepped on the petrol and drove to a nearby thicket of trees, in the shade a male lion licking and loving its mate! Cell phones and cameras clicked, and binoculars went to the eyes! The park boasts of several dams and here we saw plenty: Elephants, buck, zebra. In the distance 6 hippo looking rocks. Later we saw rhino and learnt about the difference between white and black rhino - surprisingly nothing to do with color. Sadly the rhino is under threat due to evil poaching.
When we arrived back at camp, we enjoyed sharing stories around the camp fire. To me this was camping at its best. In conclusion I can say for those who like the outdoor and a Pilanesberg Camping is a great option. And I am glad I booked with Safari With Us. Everything was well organized, and we had fantastic time made even better by personable guides.

Great tour with even better guide
We had 5 people travel to Kruger, bostwana, and up to Victoria falls in September 2018. We had a fantastic time and Ettienne is a wonderful guide- we would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a personable guide. He truly made our trip memorable. Bostwana, while more expensive than it's neighbors, was the highlight of our trip and for those of you who can spend time in Chobe/Okavango Delta, i recommend that you do that!

Great accommodations, fine lectures, memorable game drives, and competent, knowledgeable guides.
As a university professor, I have led numerous academic travels to Southern Africa for students on the themes of ecotourism, natural resource conservation and sustainable development. Most recently, I worked with lead guide Ettienne Froneman of Safari With Us as we traveled from Joburg to Kruger National Park, then on to Swaziland, KZN and Cape Town. I had worked with Ettienne and his assistant guide, Bianca Potgieter, on several prior trips, and once again, I found them to be most competent and positively engaging professionals. Both Ettienne and Bianca are superb drivers, great cooks, knowledgeable interpreters of natural and historical landscapes, and professional caretakers of our safety, security and logistics. Without hesitation, I have asked them to guide my October 2018 academic travel to Botswana and Zimbabwe, as well as my March 2019 travel to Namibia. They both have the right combination of professionalism, knowledge, a fine sense of humor, and self-assured competency. I highly recommend them and SafariWithUs for your journeys in Africa.

Everything was superb!
This was our second time with Safari With Us. We traveled to Madikwe Reserve and Kurula Lodge in the Greater Kruger. Everything - organization, logistics, accommodation, drives and animals was fantastically efficient and great. I would recommend Safari With US to anyone for great African experience.
Our 11 day safari covered Kruger NP, Chobe NP, Victoria Falls... it was awesome in every aspect.
Andre at safariwithus made sure every aspect of our safari exceeded our expections... the drivers, guides, accommodations, meals, entertainment and locations visited could not have been better. I highly recommend the 11 day safari in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.... it gives you a good snapshot of africa and the game in the countries. Very exciting and the drivers and guides were very informative.
Excellent trip
