Unsasisfied client
I had booked and paid for accommodation in the Kruger Park at Bergendal through Afritrip Kruger.Com.On our arrival at Malelane Gate after travelling for 5 hours we were told that accommodation had been cancelled as they had not received payment from Afritrip. You can imagine our disbelief. On phoning the company in Cape Town they found accommodation outside the Kruger Park which was not what we wanted but had no choice and another 2.5 hours drive.Lucky for us we knew where we were going,but you can imagine the horror of foreigners who would be expecting to stay in the Kruger Park.On returning home I sent them emails and phoned the company and to date 11/05/17 have received no response.No letter of apology or anything,just completely ignored.I will never recommend booking through them

Disappointed. The setting is stunning, and the room was lovely - except for the bathroom
The setting is stunning, and the room was lovely - except for the bathroom. It had a very high bath which was difficult to climb in and out of. To have a shower was also dangerously slippery.
There is also a tiny step into the bathroom that one cannot see because of the black tiles. No sign or marking about the step - so I nearly tripped.
Then there are two rugs next to the bed. When you step on them they slip - I nearly fell. Unfortunately my husband did slip when he got out of bed during the night and had a very nasty fall. Thank goodness he didn’t break anything and is only bruised.
The food was good but not exceptional. The dinner on Saturday evening was a disaster because the hotel catered for a big group that had arrived, and the Lodge catered for them and ignored the remaining couples. We had no service or anybody telling what was happening re dinner.
But the biggest disappointment of our stay at the lodge were the game drives. The game driver was very nice, competent and knowledgeable. Only on the first drive did we see game close by. I realise that seeing game is a case of some luck - but one cannot see anything if there aren’t many animals in the park. To go into Kruger was totally out for me as it would have meant a 45 minute drive to the gate of Kruger. On Saturday afternoon they gave us an old, dirty vehicle that was so uncomfortable that I was in a lot of pain after the drive. It was really not a nice experience.

Quick and easy process
We booked our stay at Mpila Rest Camp in Imfolozi reserve through Afritrip. It was quick and easy to navigate doing this thanks to their help and efficiency. I'd definitely use them again for future reservations!

Great Experience!
From the very start till the end, we had a very good experience. It started with a simple chat and ended into an amazing journey at Kruger. All the staff are very professional and helpful.

Nice gamedrives in general, lodges ok, good food
We've spend 3 days in Kruger in Skukuza. The lodges were good and the food was very nice. The bush dinner and other diners were great. We did 4 game drives: three of them very good. Skukuza is busy in summer but that's no problem at all. Restaurant closes early in the evening. Good shop in Skukuza.

wonderful Safari experiences --- excellent accommodation
Initially when i contacted Afritrip Group, only VERY expensive lodges were suggested. through more communication i was able to get information on lodges in the price range i was willing to pay. Follow-up communication was difficult because of the departure of the agent with whom i originally dealt, but this was cleared up later and all our arrangements went well. we stayed at the Waterside Lodge/ Thornybush Game Reserve and it couldn't have been better. Wonderful, courteous and friendly staff and great safari experiences.

Very good experience
Even though the weather was not cloudy and sometimes rainy, the overall 3-day safari experience was as good as it could be, with good accommodation, breakfast, dinner, company and safari guidance. Very well organised!

A wonderful experience was had by thew whole group
Booking the trip was smooth and seamless
Kapama Lodge were waiting for us at Hoedspruit when our plane arrived, check in at the lodge again was smooth and hassle free
Safaris were great, Nanette was our guide and was very knowledgable and good company, being able to stop halfway through a 3hr safari was very much needed for stretching the legs
The food and drink served was excellent, even though it was buffet style, the choices were great and tasty too
