Wonderful!
Everything was wonderful! From the communication with the company, always very attentive in helping and passing all the information, even the safari itself! The lodging is super cozy, the guides very experienced, anyway, everything exceeded my expectations positively, I recommend it to everyone, it was super worth it! Thanks to David and his team!

Wonderful time at Krueger game, but some issues with the logistics
We had a great time in South Africa, really beautiful Country, we had the best Safari we could have with the guide Mr. Lucky Mathebula, we saw see all the big five with him, he was simply the best. The Lodge (accomodation) was really good as well, the owner was a sympathic lady and the food was good.
But on the other hand we had some issues with the Bonnie, the guide that took us from Joanesburg to the Park and back to Joanesburg.
He got late to pick us up in the hotel to get to Krueger so we didn´t have time to have lunch, we had to eat our pizzas on the way to the Park! Also, he didn´t make any effort to be nice when he was joining dinner with us. When returning from the Park to Joanesburg, he drove fast and it was rainning a lot, a lot of accidents on the road, it was really tense.
And to complete, he charged us 300 Rand each to see the Panoramic route, when the offered from Adventour was 250 Rand per person. We felt really disappointed and betrayed.
I explained all the above to Mr. David (my contact at Adventour), he apologysed and said he would make a refund to amend the situation. We are still waiting the refund, his last promise was to make it today.

Excellent Safari Experience
The trip was very well organized. The airport shuttle with Tom worked very well and I felt safe and comfortable all the time. All the staff of the lodge were very friendly and attentive. The room was clean and well equipped with air conditioning. The safari experience itself was amazing, we saw the big five and other interesting animals. The Panorama Tour with Tom was a blast and I can highly recommend it.

They fulfilled everything they promised
Excellent driver (Thanks Tom!), Punctual and helpful. Interesting accommodation, with excellent food (could improve the Internet service). The vehicle to travel Kruger could be better (it was the oldest in the park), but it is understood, because we were in a Budget Safari. On the way back we did the Panorama Drive as an extra, and it was very good. We saw 4 of the big 5 in 1.5 days of safari, which is not bad. As a general experience, it is highly recommended because of the cost-benefit ratio.

Booking was easy and tour operator was very responsive to our questions.
Service was great, Douglas was awesome. Prepare for bugs, as mosquitos were in our room at the lodge, and AC wasn’t very cold. Food at the lodge was very good and our safari guide, Lucky, was amazing. We saw 4 of the big 5 (plus many many other animals) within Kruger. We were fortunate enough to see the 5th at a rest area that had a small preserve on our route to and from Kruger. I highly recommend taking the Panorama route, it is extremely worth it. The days are long but worth it.

OMG!!! That's how awesome this experience was for myself and my friends!
The Budget Three Day Safari was everything that the previous reviewers stated! It was amazing and we had such a good time. The weather was nice, put definitley bring sunglasses and a jacket! The drive from Johannesburg to Hazyview was not bad at all, the driver made plenty of rest stops, which allowed us to get food and even observe some animals before getting to Kruger National Park. The accomodations were just as described and eveything was well kept. The food was amazing and their were plenty of choices to choose from no matter your diet restrictions. Sidenote: I keep saying amazing becuase that's exactly what it was! David checked-in on us several times throughout the trip and made sure that we were comfortable with lodging and anything else that we may have needed. We saw all "Big Five" animals, which made the trip well worth it! This was a great experience and everybody who worked there went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! I have already suggested this trip to so many of my friends and family.

An excellent experience!!
Our experience with Adventour was great! Tom was the best guide, friend and fellow traveler during our safari with the agency. Our congratulations for him!! Punctuality and adaptation at all times. We learned a lot and we loved it, everything went perfectly.

Fantastic trip!
The shuttle service arrived on time in our hotel in Johannesburg. Bonnieface was realy friendly and was our personal driver to the Kruger. He told us nice stories and facts about the buildings/landscapes/animals that we saw near the highway. The safari tent was big enough and clean. The two safari tours with Pete were fun and it was nice to see all the animals. We have almost seen the big 5(!) but it depends when and where you enter the parc. The extra tour (when we went back to the airport) rewarded to profit of the beautiful landscapes.
In addition, the communication by mail with David was realy good and explicit.

We are so happy we chose adventours for our safari trip
So happy we chose adventours. Sitting in Sweden trying to find the best tour guide in SA was not easy but we could not be happier. Sure we had some bumps on the road but nothing David didn’t fix in a heartbeat. Super friendly staff, delicious three course meal, the best guide one could wish for on the safari (Mike) and great rooms at the lodge. Mike truly did everything in his power to make sure we not only see the big five but also hippos as many of us wished for. We definitely recommend Adventours not only for a great experience but for the whole package that comes with it.
