Incredible.. it met every expectation we had for the adventure.
This trip, as with most people was on our bucket list, and it didn't disappoint, in fact it was better than we expected. Safari With Us was great to deal with and everything came as planned, Thanks Andre for all the recommendations. The Katekani Tented Lodge was better than we expected, the pictures on the web doesn't do it justice. It was clean, well kept and we went to bed each night listening to the lions talking to each other in the distance. The food was as good as any 5 start resort full breakfast and a 3 courses meal every night. Our safaris were extrememly successful as we ended up see all the big 5 in Kruger. Would like to give special thanks to Nico our guide from the katekani tent resort, friendly, knowledgeable and made the trip for us with the interaction we had. We had him on most of the safaris and he added to the fun and enjoyment.
highly recommended.

A very well organised trip
Did a 3 day luxury safari trip to Pilanesberg and had the most fantastic time. Massive thanks to Andre who organised the whole trip for me, including the little extras. Communication was great and very friendly. All transfers and accommodation were arranged and we were very happy with it all. The safari itself was incredible, saw many animals on all the drives and the food and accommodation at Black Rhino lodge was very good. The last day we stopped by Sun City to have a look which was nice despite the rain. Would definitely go again on this trip

The trip of a lifetime!
My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary and belated honeymoon in South Africa , and the first week was an exclusive safari in Kruger park and the surrounding area arranged by safari with us.
Wow!
From the first email correspondence with Andre until the last hug goodbye with Ettienne our skilled guide- we have only good things to say! Andre was very accommodating and helpful in arranging our trip and updating us right away with anything that came up. He advised us as to what package would suit our needs and answered all questions that came up in a very timely manner.
Ettienne was waiting for us when we landed in JNB and was our fearless leader, guide, driver and advisor throughout the trip. His fun attitude and wealth of knowledge in all things safari and Africa related were a huge plus to our trip. We got insider information on the most wonderful extra activities available near where we were staying and he even spent the time helping us plan the next leg of our journey (self driving down the garden route) so that we get the very most out of our time in this beautiful country. He made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip and was a pleasure to have as a traveling companion throughout.
We would definitely recommend safari with us and Ettienne as a guide for any group, big or small. This company will take care of you , be straightforward about everything, tailor your trip to your needs, and will also be happy to help with anything else if they are able. 5 glowing stars to them!!

That was great!
We did 7 days Botswana-Zimbabwe tour and that was great! Everything - communication, accommodation, meals and, the most importantly, game drives - was just terrific and highly efficient. This was not my first time is Southern Africa (I have been there four times already, so this tour was the fifth one), but I have never experiences this level of efficiency and professionalism. Thanks a lot!

Thank you Ettiene and Safari With Us!
Our host, Ettiene was funny, informative and extremely helpful. He picked us up from OR Tambo, and drove us to our safari lodge, the Adventure Lodge, all the while pointing out interesting spots, discussing history and knowledge about South Africa. Our Adventure Lodge was quaint, beautiful and had delicious food. We did an evening and morning safari in Kruger National Park, and we saw all the animals you would want to see- lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, monkeys, you name it! It was a great time. We were on a trip in Lesotho doing charitable work for two weeks in foster homes and this was a great way to end our travels. Very professional, very supportive. When I left my group, I travelled to Capetown for a couple days, and Ettiene recommended a tour guide and trip for me with a friend of his- it was fantastic!!! Great group of people, thank you so much!

Unforgetable
I think everyone should experience a Safari - to see the animals in their natural habitat - is amazing, saw Leopard and the cub, with the cub having a feed and Mum was 5 meters away watching patiently - a beautiful experience. Kavi and staff at Kurula Lodge were faultless, we are just like one big family. Thank you Guys.
and Andre - thank you kindly in organising this trip - all the best to you and the whole crew.
I have recommended your company to all my friends and family. South Africa is a beautiful country, people are so welcoming.

Off the Grid
On the recommendation of our Safari With Us contact (Andre), we opted for the ten-day Garden Tour. What can I say - Andre was right on the mark. It was absolutely fabulous! We have been all over the world, and our very first trip to South Africa was way up there. The tour itself was outstanding, as was our guide. The hotels were all excellent, and all of the stops along the way were perfect. For us at least, the Addo Elephant Park and the Woodhall Country House were the best. Over the course of ten days, we saw 29 species of animals in the wild (not including birds), walked with lions, and could have reached out and touched elephants. But perhaps the best of all was the penguins...what a thrill! And that was only the beginning. We toured canyons and mountains, rode the waves off the coast of Knysna, and dined in fabulous restaurants, wineries and inns. South Africa and Safari With Us are definitely on our bucket list for another adventure in the near future! If you are looking for a small-group (4 people plus guide) luxury tour, this is it.

Madikwe Safari - all you could ever want and more!
We just arrived back from SA yesterday and all in our group agreed we had a great time on the Madikwe safari. Transfers to and from the lodge were punctual and comfortable and the driver was careful, cheerful, knowledgeable about SA, and happily answered all our questions throughout the 4 hour drive! The lodge too, Bush House, was very comfortable - a real oasis in the desert. The food was good and plentiful and the staff were very friendly and attentive. One of our group celebrated a birthday while we were there and was thrilled by all the surprises they provided on her special day. The waterhole and hide at the lodge were a real bonus, providing great animal viewing between game drives and fabulous photo opportunities as well. The game drives themselves offered up almost everything there was to see in Africa - lions, cheetah, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, wild dogs, eland, oryx, impala, kudu, hyena ...and more. Furthermore, our guides Stuart and Michael were both really friendly and a wealth of information.
Andre, thanks so much for your arrangements - we will be recommending both Safari With Us and Madikwe to any friends who want to safari in SA in the future.
