Fantastic safari trip in safe hands
Dear all
Firstly I would like to say thank you for a well organised and valuable trip. To improve the experience, I would recommend clearer communications about the tour. I booked through Kruger.com, but did not ever receive notice that I would stay an d travel at Tydon safaris.
The other suggestion I have is regarding food. It was very heavy and rich. Also because we went for long wonderful drives in the early morning, we often returned to cold breakfast. The coffee was awful.
Other than that, the hosts were lovely, the guides amazing, and the unseen domestic staff did a wonderful jog.

It was good experience.
Communication of the guide was clear and precise.All were cooperative and could clear all the doubts. very good in explaining about the animals.
In the meals atleast two vegeterian food items be given.
Rooms are well maintained.
Overall pleased to stay and looking forward for more such trips at Kruger Park.

Well organized with friendly and knowledgeable guided
Tents were comfortable, food was great, guides excellent and Kruger Park itself is amazing.
Guides made ever effort to show us the Big Five and succeeded in this difficult task considering our short stay (3 days).
A great experience for all the family!

Tydon Safari
The safari drives where so amazing. Got to see so many animals in only three drives. The accomodation was also an amazing experience with only 4 tents and a max of 8 people it was intimate and calm. The only down side was that there was extremely poor organisation traveling to and from the safari. The pick up was awful and I ended up getting my phone out to try and track down where one of the pick up locations would be after we got told we have to get to the airport by 8 to get picked up. We didn't leave Johannasberg for another hour and a half later for one person. Apparently almost missed out on our first drive. Then on the way home we expected a drive in the morning as we had payed for 3 days but got woken at 6 to eat by 7 to leave 7:20. We got to the second base camp to pick up the rest of the guest. We waited 40 mins while they came of of their rooms had breakfast in front of us and then packed up there things. Didn't leave till 8:30. We literally sat in the car ALL DAY! Didn't arrive back at the airport till 6:30 pm.
We spend an exhausting 40 mins at some crappy souvenir shop were I sat in the car. Then equally as crapy waterfall and then gods window look out. I paid for safari drives not a tour around town. It was frustrating. We could have done a drive in the morning and could have been at the airport at the same time.

Grand Kruger Lodge 3 stars - Bongani Mountain Lodge 5 stars
Grand Kruger Lodge:
We were a party of 6. The staff were friendly and the service during breakfast and dinner was excellent.
The 8 hr game drive was fantastic. The breakfast was not great however, it was like something you'd send to school with your 10 year old. The lodge and rooms are in need of a some TLC. It felt dirty and unkept. :(
Bongani Mountian Lodge:
5 stars all the way. Accommodation was excellent, clean and beautiful.
Food was amazing and the Game Range Drivers were knowledgable and made every game drive a memorable one. Absalome and Thabo were our drivers and they get 10/10 from our party of 6.
The drive there was very scary as Bongani is not that easy to get to and we got horribly lost. But what a great experience. xxxxx :)

Good but not exceptional experience.
The communications were good, the service also. All the people in the camp were very kind. However, I could not help being a little bit disappointed by the safari tours, due to a relative scarcity of animals, especially the lack of lions.

A very efficient & well organised company to deal with
We booked the 7 Day Namibian Odyssey and overall were really very happy with the holiday. The communications & service and the information provided before leaving were all excellent and allowed us to feel very confident and excited for the holiday to come, and everything ran as was scheduled.
The guide, Augustine, was excellent in many ways: very informative, polite, helpful with individuals needs, and we felt relaxed in his company.
The accommodation was very good overall with some being excellent, however Etosha Safari Camp, whilst interesting in many ways, was let down by very poor accommodation as the rooms were very poorly equipped, the shower did not work & the windows creaked all night. Sadly we felt that this was below the standard of accommodation we expected for this holiday. I would have given a 5* rating if it had not been for this.
The itinerary was well thought through and we had many excellent experiences.
I would suggest that half way through the tour you may consider letting your guests have a couple of hours more free time to 'catch-up' so to speak as with so much to see and do, and so much travelling, we were quite tired at the end and pleased we had booked a couple of days in Cape Town before we flew back to the UK.
