Great Family Safari
We were picked up by Jako (our tour guide) at our hotel in Johannesburg. During the drive we had already a first glimps on wildlife. After a short boat drive we arrived at our lodge close to the river. During the day we had a river boat safari and later a cosy private dinner on the river banks before heading out for a night safari during which we met lions. The next morning we headed out for a morning drive into the bush - before leaving the camp for Kruger National Park. We saw amazing animals (buffalos, elephants, zebras, giraffes). The 3rd night we spent in a camp in Kruger with an awesome view over the river with many hippos. After great dinner and breakfast we left the park again for the animal rehab center where we had the chance to even pet a cheeta. We had a great barbecue prepared by Jako himself on our last evening - and we had even a hippo in the river directly in front of our lodge. On the last day we visited all famous sights of the panorama road on our way back to the hotel in Johannesburg. It was great organization, great places which were booked for our stay and above all Jako is an amazing guide, driver and cook.

First time in Kruger park (and on a safari)
it is a group of 3 italian friends on our first safari. it was not easy to pick an option in the big kruger offer with a huge range of prices. we went for red africa because Amelia managed to be very informative, precise, fast in answering all our crazy questions and offered all we were looking for at a reasonable price; 3 days safari in the kruger park all inclusive : transfer from JNB, meals (basic meals but tasty, clean and abundant) accomodation (in a rondavel at the skukutza camp) and guided game drives (morning drives, night drives and bush walk).
jaco was our guide and definitely made our trip awesome. picked us up on time, cooked for us, amazed us with super interesting park insights and info about the wildlife, the plants and even the stars.
he's been always available to accomodate our needs, patient and fun.
we were very lucky to spot 4 out of the big 5 even before checking in in skukutza and spot the 5th one (2 beautiful leopards) on our way out. i would definitely recommend red africa to my friends!

Great experience for our first time
It was a very special part of our journey to south africa. My girlfriend and I did a 4 day safari in the Kruger NP and the Panorama Route. We had not that luck with the weather but we saw the big five and a lot of other animals. Our guide Jaco was excellent, he has a huge knowledge about the animals and the nature and he had a answer of each our questions. The back office and the communication was brilliant, they satisfied all our whishes before and during our trip.

He has a huge knownledge of nature and the wildlife, he had an answer for all our questions! In spite of the weather (which was not that good) we saw the big five and much more! It was a wonderful trip and Jaco made it really special!

It was wonderful !!!!
I would like to thank the Red Africa company from the bottom of my heart for the organization and implementation a safari trip in Kruger Park!
This Safari trip transferred our dream into reality during all the time that we were there.
I chose Red Africa without prior recommendations, merely by looking for many options on the internet.
When I emailed them with questions, I received very detailed and satisfactory answers. Red Africa were very helpful in recommending the specific trip that would be the best fit for our group of people (we were 4).
On the first day, our guide, Jacob, came exactly on time and picked us up from the hotel in Johannesburg. We made our way to the safari in a comfortable van.
Jacob was with us all these 5 days, and was available for anything we needed 24 hours a day. Also, he was very knowledgeable of the animal life and vegetation in the park. He showed, described and gave us explanations about everything on a very high level.
Jacob works exclusively as a tour guide, both as a “day job” and a “night job” - he loves nature and is very knowledgeable about it. He also loves animals and the landscape around them.
Kruger Park is absolutely different from the place where we came, and Jacob helped us to understand its dynamics and charm.

A real trip of a lifetime, for learning, understanding, appreciating wildlife as a natural gift
Highly recommended it anyone. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.. Wouldn't recommended to see Sth Africa and Kruger Park without a guide that has Jaco experience, passion and professionalism regarding wildlife and tourism.
Seen all the important animals in our safari and the guided tours in the way for Kruger was excellent too - ended up in a most beautiful waterfall that I couldn't help myself but has to swim in it.
Looking fwd to Jaco sharing some of the pics he took of our trip.

Organised, reliable and knowledgable and went out of their way to give us a great experience.
The reason I chose Red Africa Safaris above all the other companies was the great communication I got from Amelia who responded to every question (and I had lots) in a timely and professional manner. Our guide for the Safari - Jaco was professional, courteous and supremely knowledgeable. Our safari was great because of all the sights and animals we saw, but also because of his company and the way he shared his experiences with us. I can't imagine how any other company could provide a better experience and I truly hope to come back and many more trips with Red Africa Safaris.
