Wonderful in Every Way!
Safari With Us arranged our tours including an excellent balance of experiences with outstanding vendors. We toured in Botswana with No 1 Lady Tours. Our guide, Tanya, oversaw all of our activities, coordinated our daily schedule, and transported us safely throughout the country. He was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and the culture, patiently answering a barrage of questions. Everything was well-organized and relevant to our interests. At the end of our tour we only wished we could stay longer!
Batoka took over at the Zimbabwe border, where we met Coben who guided our tour of Victoria Falls and shuttled us to various activities in the area. He was patient and kind, and answered many, many questions.
Our garden tour from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth was guided by Hannetjie of Orbit Trips. She offered a rich experience, along with extensive knowledge of the region, landscape and people. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
I think the term "life-changing" tends to be over-used, but our experience fits the term in that my friend and I developed, in a very short period of time, a deep affection for the countries we visited. We did not go off to our individual homes in Alaska saying, "Well, we've checked that box on our bucket list, if we had bucket lists." Instead, we returned home determined to revisit southern Africa, stay longer, and explore more deeply into the places we visited.

A fantastic 4 days
Great staff an great accommodation. What we were most impressed with was the general organisation and schedule of activities: everything ran smoothly, from airport pick up onwards. We didn't have time to get bored and the bush walks and drives were quite different from one another. The guides were really fantastic and we saw the big five!
A minor criticism: some more options food wise at dinner would have been good.
Incredibly helpful service & fun 5 day Treehouse stay!
Andre was super responsive and helpful as I planned my solo trip. I chose the 5 day safari at Marc's lodge. The treehouse stay was amazing and you're right in the bush! If you have dietary restrictions, I would bring your own snacks but you also have opportunity to buy food and snacks on the tour. I made great friends, saw the Big 5 and loved the experience. It was really valuable to experience all three places - the Tremisana game reserve, Kruger (only one day here) and the private game reserve - because I now know how I'd like to plan my next safari. I recommend booking with Safari With Us!

Safari in south africa - kruger park
It was an incredible experience, beyond my expectations indeed. The tours, the guides, the lodge, everything were just fine. I just regret that I didn't book the 4-day program, so I didn't take part in one of the bush-walkings. I'd recommend safari with us to everybodt who is thinking about doing a safari in ZA.

Reliable and quick to respond
I mainly corresponded with Andre of Safari with Us and it was very comforting to get quick responses to any questions I have. Planning for a safari trip from overseas is a bit daunting but dealing with Safari With Us made it easy and effortless. The safari package I eventually selected was from Viva Safaris (Safari with Us partners with them) and it turned out the way it was described. Great experience!

Very accommodating, efficient and professional.
Safari With Us was very prompt in replying even over the holidays. They were very accommodating especially with our last minute requests and surpassed our expectations. From the time we landed in South Africa till we left everything ran smoothly with everyone being courteous and making our trip enjoyable. The choice of Tau Lodge was excellent especially the Ranger assigned to us (Ignatius - Iggy for short) made it a point to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible especially the Big Five. He was also very engaging. Overall we were very satisfied with our safari experience.
A special thanks to Andre Retief from Safari With Us.

An amazing experience
Booking was easy and emails always received a speedy response.
We were picked up from where we were staying in Johannesburg and driven to the Lodge where we received a very warm welcome. The accommodation was luxurious, and the surrounding gardens a lovely calm oasis for relaxing and viewing the watering hole.
We saw a wide variety of game on the drives, including elephant , giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, black rhino, warthog, kudu, springbok,and many beautiful birds. The highlight was when a pack of wild dogs made a kill at the boundary fence in front of the Lodge.

An amazing life changing experience, fabulous staff, and facilities beautiful surroundings - amazing
We had a wonderful experience and truly looked after from booking in the U.K., to arrangements for collection and transfers. The In and Out guest house was perfect for a stop over. Dennis who collected us and was our "cater" on the trip we had fabulous and couldn't do enough for us. He is a credit to you. The safaris were awesome, we saw all the big 5 except one. The lodges were great although we need a little air con in the balcony level or a fan !!!.
The food and hospitality at the lodge was great as were the staff - we loved it and highly recommend it

I did did a sleep out safari and it was great. Chris was an excellent guide on the walking safari and really made the trip for me, sleeping outside under the stars was fantastic too. I'd highly recommend it.
