Great Safari Experience with Shinzelle Safaris
We could’t be happier to have chosen a Safari with "Shinzelle Safaris", the overall experience went just beyond our expectation!
Brandon and Danielle are very professional, friendly
and very prepared about guiding you through the safari.
We had a fantastic impact since the beginning before booking it, the communication with Danielle was always very efficient and precise about any matter and it continued during the whole journey.
Danielle is a really good chef and she has prepared only dishes based on our preferences.We loved it.
She did a great job to make our self comfortable like in our own houses and we appreciated that very much.
Brandon is a professional guide, very prepared about wild animals living in the park and you can see he is doing his job because he loves it!
Thanks Brandon’s guidance and experience we were able to see all the Big 5 plus the magnificent 7 in few hours, which was an amazing experience!
We totally recommend to experience a Safari with “Shinzelle Safaris”, you wont be dissapointed!
Thank you again Brandon ad Danielle to have made this tour unforgettable!
Amazing service, amazing cuisine, amazing everything!
I was at a loss trying to figure out how to plan a low-key (i.e., not thousands of dollars) safari to Kruger, and thankfully came across Shinzelle ... Brandon and Danielle are so friendly, knowledgable, accommodating -- he's an official guide and knows everything about the area; she's an accomplished chef who will make your every evening one to remember (including the outdoor braai and tastes of different parts of South Africa). If you're looking for a one-stop shop (i.e., even from Jo'burg) that promises an amazing experience (or even if you're just looking for help for one aspect of your visit, whether it's a game drive, visit on the Panorama Route, accommodations, etc), look no further. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Best safari company in Kruger!!!!
Shinzelle safari tours is arugable the best safari company in kruger. This company goes above and beyond in not only customer service and the best south african food around but also knowledge of animals while out safari. My wife and I booked a 5 day panoramic tour. We could not have been more pleased with our experience. The breakfast and dinner Danielle makes is so good! She is an amazing chef. Also their food is MUCH better then any other company out there. For example, while out on safari, you will stop for breakfast at a location within kruger, here your tour guide will give you your breakfast. The food with Shinzelle is an always fresh made, top quality breakfast. Every other company just gave them a basic borning, bland sad meal. My wife and I were glad to be eating like a star. So the food is great, now onto the safari tour. Brandon was out guide. He is by far the most passionate , knowledgeable guide out in kruger. He spends all his time, and even free time, undertsndsing more and more about everything in kruger. He will answer and give you a wealth of information on everything you need to know, and even more. Very awesome!! Could not be happier. Book with this company and you will be so happy!

Quick response on information demands, flexible, real hosts and nothing is too much.
The communication was efficient, quick and efficient, as well in the brochure, mail and whatsapp..
The service was amazing, timely, high quality
The safaritour and hired driver was nice, although Kruger Park itself was a bit disappointing as we were in a private reserve a week earlier; the boma-dinner and personal service was incredible.
We had a fantastic evening and the Shinzelle team was great.

Amazing!
I wish I could give this safari more than five stars!
From the beginning, Danielle was responsive, helpful, and so kind. Traveling from the states made scheduling seemingly difficult, but Danielle made it so much easier. She made sure we knew all of our transport options, and asked specific questions about why were coming, food and drink preferences, etc. Danielle is also a wonderful chef, and every meal she made was incredible!
Upon arrival at the Skukuza Airport, Brandon was waiting for us and took us on our first drive! He is so knowledgeable and we got along immediately. Throughout all of our days, Brandon pointed out an incredible amount of animals, and gave us tons of information about the park and the wildlife we were seeing. We always felt safe in the vehicle with him, and couldn't wait to go on every drive!
We could not stop talking about this safari for the rest of our time in South Africa. It surpassed our expectations, and could not be run by a nicer duo.
My only regret is that I didn't book a longer safari with them. Go for as long as you can - it will be well worth it!

Experience of a lifetime seeing animals in their own element.
Great communication between Shinzelle's and us from the beginning to the end of our Safari. We were always informed of what would be happening and when it would be happening. The meals that were great. The Safari was an awesome experience being able to see the animals up close and personal in their own arena. Our Safari guides were very knowledgeable and always had information to add which made the Safari even more enjoyable. We were hoping to see the big five and we actually did see them all plus much more. Everyone was very professional and it was an overall great experience.

Amazing experience! Thank you Brandon and Dani
Me and my family had a great safari experience, we had the opportunity to see all the big 5 until 12pm! Guide Brandon is the best guide, knows everything about the wildlife and you can see that he is very passionate about his job. He tells every single detail about every animal! Truly amazing! And Dani, an amazing chef!! I told her i needed to have a special diet and she studied every ingredient to make the best and different meals for me. Also she wont let you be hungry, so many food to eat during the day! Fruits, juice, sandwiches, protein bars, everything!
I can truly recommend you Shinzelle Safaris, A lovely couple who is very passionate about wildfile and his costumers!
Thank you Guide Brandon and Chef Dani!
