Absolutley brilliant from start to finish.
As mentioned above absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for Danielle in the organising of this trip and Trevor was an amazing host on the Panorama Tour.

Danielle was great to work with and our private tour guide Jessica was excellent.
service was excellent, planning was made difficult for Danielle because we had a change in our schedule but she was able to accommodate us. Our tour guide could not have been better, not only in her knowledge of the animals and the park, but was so much fun to be with for the five days. That made our meals and just driving through through the park enjoyable.

What an amazing safari experience - truly incredible!
We have just returned home from our first visit to South Africa and our amazing safari holiday with Shinzelle Safaris. It's difficult to know where to begin as our trip was truly incredible and so many amazing memories were made!
Everything was organised very well, and Danielle was polite and friendly in communication before our stay and answered my many questions quickly. Our transfer was smooth and upon arrival at our accommodation we were met by Zami who showed us to our lovely cottage, which contained all that we needed for our stay to be comfortable. The grounds are lovely, very tranquil, and it was magical to watch the monkeys playing just to the side of our cottage and swinging through trees just in front of our door.
Our safari trips were amazing. We had 2 different guides organised through Shinzelle Safaris (Irvin and Kyro), and also a SAN Parks guide for our evening safari, all were knowledgeable and friendly and did all they could to make sure we had a pleasant experience and saw as much as possible during our time in Kruger. We also did the panoramic tour and learnt many interesting facts about the beautiful scenery of the local area.
Food and service at The Windmill were both fantastic. Breakfast was served as a breakfast pack for us to eat whilst out each day, and dinner was freshly prepared each evening and was truly delicious!
A huge thank you to Danielle, Brandon and the rest of the team at The Windmill and Shinzelle Safaris for making our safari holiday so amazing. It is something I will remember for years to come, and I will definitely be back in a few years to experience the magic of Kruger again with Shinzelle Safaris!

An amazing Safari into the Kruger Park
everything was perfect. A unique experience in life! thanks to our driver and guide expertise we were able to see the big five and awesomely most of them cross the road just behind us: A group of elephants, one of them stopping in front of us cheering with its probo, a queue of buffalos, and finally a cheetah very elegant and imperial.
it was our first safari in life , but thanks to Shinzelle Safaris, Danielle and our driver , it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks!!

The guides were REALLY good. The accommodation is super comfortable, clean and the food is amazing!
We did a day tour in kruger park and the guide was REALLY good and passionate for what he does.
The second day we did a tour around to see many waterfalls and beautiful sceneries. Everything was done very professionally. The cars were pretty new.
The accommodation is super comfortable, clean and the food is amazing! It was fun to see the monkeys passing by to eat the fruits by the cabin.
The communication with them was also very easy and the staff was very kind.
The best was the price. The best we could find for what they offer.
Really recommend it!

Amazing tour! Amazing staff!
Firstly, I'm super late leaving this review but my now fiancé and I used their services during our vacation last year in December and the service was amazing!! and prices were unbeatable!
We contacted over 20 safari companies and no one offered close to what they offered for the price. To top it off it's incredibly affordable and what you get is top notch. Danielle and her husband are amazing! This tour mixed both sightseeing and game driving on the safari and we found it to be the perfect mix. We saw 4 of the big 5 during our gaming drive, and everyone who was a part of their staff was great! can't recommend this company and the 4 day game drive/panoramic tour enough! Well worth the money!

A Once in a Lifetime Experience
Visiting Kruger with Shinzelle Safaris is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
My wife and I went on the five day safari with Shinzelle. It was one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. It was amazing to see these animals in their wild habitat. We saw lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebra, rinos, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, and many more. Kyro was a very knowledgable, friendly, and entertaining guide. We were lucky enough to have Kyro for a private tour our first day.
We stayed at a cottage at their Windmill property. Our cottage was beautiful. We spent some time in the evenings sitting on the porch enjoying the view and watching the monkeys in the trees. Every night we were treated with a delicious dinner.
Danny, Kyro, Kari, and Brandon are all great. We enjoyed talking with them in the evenings and getting to know them. I hope we have an opportunity to visit them again someday. We highly recommend Shinzelle for anyone visiting Kruger.

Friendly staff and great guides
The safari tours were great (we saw the Big 5 twice over!), the lodging was enjoyably remote and rustic, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the local food was really tasty. Very enjoyable trip - would highly recommend.

Our tour operator was very enthusiastic about everything from the small insects to the Big Five!
It is tough to put in words how amazing our experience with Shinzelle Safaris was. From the beginning planning stages, to the transport from Johannesburg to our lodge, our food, and then to the outstanding safari - everything was planned perfectly and was beyond our expectations! My husband and I instantly felt a connection with Dani and Brandon, and had many great chats and lots of laughs! They are such a fantastic couple, their passion for the African animals and the nature is outstanding and their zest for life is infectious!! :)
We did the 4 day safari with the panoramic tour and loved every minute. We love listening to Brandon explain everything, from the majestic animals to the trees, plants etc. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great story teller!
If you are looking for a Safari in Kruger - you have found it!!
My only regret is that we didn't stay for a month! :)
We LOVED it!!

Good organisation and beautiful tours with a lot of information
We booked the full day safari including pick up and drop off. We were lucky and had the full day game drive alone together with the guide Kyo. He grew up in this area and gave us a lot of information about the parc as well as the animals and nature. We really enjoyed it. On the second day we booked a sunset tour which was operated by the Kruger Nationalparc which was also an amazing adventure.
Keep going guys!
