Lovely tour
The staff at the Boteti Tent Losge were amazing. I can’t say enough good things about their kindness, efficiency, and dedication to making us feel welcome. The location was perfectly situated on the Boteti River and provided a serene view of the water fowl and occasional crocodile. The helicopter ride over the Okavango Delta was the BEST helicopter experience o have ever had. We saw lots of animals and the guide was very helpful. The evening Mokoro ride was very eventful and peaceful all at the same time. Our polers did a wonderful job keeping us safe from a pod of angry hippos. The grounds of the lodge are very natural and unmanicured. I had a real sense of being out with nature. I highly recommend this lodge.

Efficiency plus - very prompt replies to any queries, and well organised trip
This was probably the best trip I have had - booking was straight forward, any queries were answered very quickly. The transport to and from Johannesburg was on time and comfortable. We had a tent (ridge ) , which was 5 star glamping - very roomy, AC, Kettle and tea/coffee, very spacious bathroom and shower, and there were no signs of any insects at any time.
The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - and we saw all the big 5 - all the guides around the park would check with each other as they passed as to where animals were : the food was of an excellent quality; and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.
it was a friendly atmosphere with all the guests , and we have kept in touch with some of those we met, and still meet up periodically to talk about our trip.
The trip was certainly very good value for money, and I would recommend anyone thinking of such a trip to take the Mzansi Experience.

Fantastic experience on safari organised by Mzansi.
Absolutely faultless experience with Leon at The Mzansi Experience. The communication was excellent throughout. Leon offered us a variety of options to start with which were clearly explained including through YouTube videos - the options covered a range of experiences to suit different budgets. He answered all our questions thoroughly and very promptly.
The safari experience itself was perfect. Organisation was spot on, from the pick-up at the hotel, transfer to the lodge, and transfer back. The lodge and staff, guide, game drives were all incredible.
This was an amazing experience which exceeded all our expectations and we cannot wait to explore more of Africa's beauty!

awesome communication, works with you to find the best package as possible, great operator
I have never expected that I will get the great vacation with this operator. He worked with my short vacation, being a solo traveler. Great communication, prompt response on all my questions, helped to puck the best time for me to go on safari. I don't enjoy heat and humidity. I felt very safe there even being a solo female traveler. Everything was exactly as described. Shuttle to the lodge and lodge were great. I like the stuff at the lodge. Very courteous and friendly. Very good selection and taste of food at the lodge, cooked to order. Amazing nights with bonfire at the lodge. Game driver was awesome. I got lucky to see all 5 big and 5 ugly at the safari besides other animals. Tour guide for panoramic view was very friendly and courteous. He showed more interesting places than I expected. I made a lot of photos. I had one of the best vacations of my life.

Excellent safari at a reasonable price
Our five-night safari to the Kurula Lodge in the private part of Kruger through Mzansi was excellent, from booking all the way through to our departure. Safaris are an expensive vacation, but for everything we got, Mzansi was very economical. The lodge itself was beautiful, and we had it all to ourselves with a very friendly staff - almost an embarrassment to have a five-person team there entirely for our benefit! The safari drives were very enjoyable. It's a different experience then being in the open savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania, where we visited 15 years ago. At least the private part of Kruger is remarkably intimate, with much thicker vegetation and only a few jeeps out on game drives at the same time, and animal encounters felt much more personal as a result. The quantity of animals was also a little lower, but sheer luck factors into that, and we saw all of the big five other than leopards (and cheetah, which our guide told us are rare in South Africa). Our guide Troy was fantastic - personable, patient, and our kids (14 and 12) enjoyed spending the days with him as much as we did. The five days of game drives were great, but we equally enjoyed the day Troy took us out of the park and into the mountain and areas surrounding the park, which rounded out the experience with natural beauty and variety in the activity. The food was good, prepared by an excellent chef, and we would recommend a stay at Kurula to anyone.
