Hakuna Matata, wildlife heaven, just a magical journey ...
What an adventure! Hakuna Matata ....
After arriving in Johannesburg and exploring the city for 1 day, we flew to Hoedspruit. We’ve started with the Simbavati Trails Camp with glamping facilities and clear star skies in Greater Kruger (2 nights). We enjoyed encountering animals on short distances from small to big and to learn about their footprints and behaviour. After a scenic walk in the evening, we were surprised with a sunset Gin Tonic and a hot bubble bath under the stars. It was a unique experience in an unfenced Camp, where elephants drink from the swimming pool by night. The food served out of that basic kitchen was 1-star quality and versatile. Thompson is an excellent chef. The facilities were clean, confortable and we had everything we needed or wished for. The staff was outstanding. Donald brightened our days.
After 2 nights, we’ve moved to another area (Klaserie Private Nature Reserve) and the Simbavati Amani Lodge (also 2 nights). We had close encounters with the animals while enjoying the afternoon at the swimming pool. The water hole in front of the lodge is a dream come true. We had the feeling the whole Lion King movie just passed by ;-). In the morning and afternoon we’ve enjoyed fantastical game drives with drinks and snacks in-between. Our guide Julius was amazing. The facilities were luxurious, and we felt very welcome and as part of the Amani family. For us the combination of the Trails Camp and the Lodge with game drives was a perfect fit and the ideal combination between luxury and proximity to nature with close encounters. We always felt safe and got very close to those wild animals.
We definitely recommend Safaribooking and the Simbavati Trails Camp and Amani Lodge. Everyone helped us to make our dreams come true.
Well organised and good communication. Value for money.
Our trip included several operators and it All happended like a clockwork. Operators was well informed from SW and they where All welcoming and professional. The lodge Tangala inside Tornbush was an excellent choice from SW, food, service, the guide and tracker was All good. 3 nights with 6 safari was a good choice and we had so many good moments together with sympatic Co guests. We have allready recommend SW and Tangala to other travellers.

Very Professional, extremely friendly, top shelf organization.
I am a seasoned traveler who likes flawless and comfortable vacations! If you have a safari on your list of journeys, strongly consider this outfit. From the very first time I communicated with Stanley to the time I was dropped off at the airport to depart, it was flawless. I saw all of the animals on the safari I was looking forward to seeing and then some. The food, the service, the lodging, the transportation and all of the logistics were really well managed. The value for what I paid is tremendous. The entire staff was extremely considerate and friendly. A 10 out of 10.

Stanley was very professional and helpful
We had an amazing stay at Nsala Safari Lodge. We stayed there for 3 nights. The staff were super friendly and made our stay unforgetable. Definitely value for money. We loved watching out for wildlife from the lodge. We spotted an elephant, giraffes, a hyena, buffalo’s, lots of cheeky monkeys and banded mongoose who came for their drinks at the pool. The food was lovely. Our room was beautiful. The early morning and evening bush drives were exciting! Thank you for an amazing safari experience!

Super responsive and helped us find the perfect safari lodge
I was booking late and there were too many potential options, many of which were already booked. Stanley was super helpful in finding options, dealt with my many questions and requests, and helped us find a perfect small lodge in Balule that we had an amazing time at. I don't think we would have found or chosen this place otherwise!

Responsive, Reliable and Reassuring
Stanley Shongwe responded rapidly to our quote request, to our requests for recommendations of a safari experience that would suit our needs, and he stayed in touch with us by whatsapp throughout our time under his itinerary. It was reassuring to know he was on hand to ensure our plans ran smoothly. We'd certainly contact him in the first instance for our next trip to South Africa.

Knowlegeble, Reliable Considerate
Our"Family of 10 "Trip to South Africa was one of the most enjoyable vacations. Stanley selected and booked accommodationa and tours that fitted our budget and exceeded our expectations. Everything went smoothly and we were afforded good reliable service with attention to detail. The choice of Amakhala Tent Camp was a good one for us. The accommodations, service and hospitality was excellent. The drives through the Reserve were a life time experience. Rob,the Guide, was very knowledgable about the animals as well as vegetation. He was excellent in approaching the animals without affecting their natural life and yet got us excellent proximity and views of lions, rhinos, elephant, cheetahs, etc.
Stanley fulfilled our dreams and his knowledge of South Africa, his attention to detail, his understanding of our needs was much appreciated.
