This tour was well organized and Andre was very helpful to us all along the way.
4/5

This tour met all of our expectations for what it advertised. Our drivers Thabo and Tanya were absolutely great in there driving and caring for us. The side tours were amazing. The only drawback was some of the long days of driving from place to place. But it also gave us a chance to see more animals. I can honestly recommend this tour to all adults without children.

Everything good and one of the cheapest rates we found
4/5

We bought 2N / 3D safari for zar 5400 per person where in accomodation was a camping tent. In terms of money we are happy as it was one of the cheapest we got in the market.

The camping tent is very very small. Dont take that if you have even 1 suitcase.

Overall happy to choose

First Safari Experience
4/5

BOOK AHEAD! i booked the day before and even though the site shows full day minimum, they only had seats available for the morning, so unfortunately, i didnt get much of a discount for only booking the half day ride. Dont let this happen to you and book sooner than i did!
The safari was a wonderful experience. I was at first a little upset that i wasnt able to sit next to my girl, but sitting next to the driver was also nice getting a front row seat and getting to ask questions as he drove. We spotted rhinos, impalas, ostriches, waterbucks, blue wilderbeasts, zebras, and a giraffe. The only 2 animals we unfortunately did not come accross in the 3 hours were lions and elephants. But i definitely plan to return and spend a longer time on the reserve. It was everything i wanted it to be.

A lovely time
4/5

Really easy to book and organise. I had accommodation the night before and the night after arranged and was kept up to date with the schedule and with any changes.
Pick up from my hotel was nice and easy and then collecting the others from the hotel went smooth.
Adventure Lodge in Hazy view was a lovely place to stay. Good food, comfortable and clean beds and really friendly staff. Overall a really nice experience.
Out safari guide Shadrach was really friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to spot so many animals! including hyena cubs and even a lioness successfully hunting an impala! I know this is partly luck, but Shadrach knew what to look for as the hunt was in progress. Had he have done anything different, we would have missed the event.

Safari with us advertise additional, optional tours (subject to availability), The lodge did not offer a night time tour, but by contacting the company, it was easy enough to arrange, and well worth doing too!

I also did the panorama route which was beautiful and I am so glad I did it. The sights are well worth a visit and we went to The Garden Shed for lunch and the food was delicious!

My only complaint is I wanted to book an additional tour for the morning I was going to leave which is advertised as optional with Safari with us. However, when I tried to book with the lodge I was told unless someone else booked also I couldn't go (or I'd have to pay double). Which I do understand, but I was quite disappointed. I was on the 4 day budget safari, with one day Panorama tour. For this I had one afternoon safari (around 2-2.5 hours) and one day safari (around 6am- around 2:30pm) and I paid extra for the night time Safari. Had I have known I would have booked the 3 day safari and skipped the Panorama tour. I would have liked more safari time included or guaranteed optional somehow.

But otherwise, the transport to and from Johannesburg to the lodge was comfortable and well organised and air conditioned! and there were enough comfort breaks. the hotel options were good, I stayed in the more budget friendly option and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, a positive experience.
