Excellent service and very professional.
Johan demonstrated a great wealth of knowledge about the area and history of the area we toured.
The 4x4 was exciting but never to a point where my vehicle got damaged or hurt.
The experience was so private and secluded!
Well done! Africa seen as Africa should be seen.

The tour operator is a warm-hearted person who is honest in his involvement with his clients.
My tour with Bonsai-SA was different to my other tours, in the sense that we had a relaxed program and were not chasing time all the time.
It makes a great difference to the tour experience.
Not everyone is geared to break-up camp in record times. I can travel with Bonsai and still have enough time make camp and to break-up camp with my tent and roof rack.

Exceptional
We traveled to Lekgalameetse with Johan & Elna in December 2022.
Everything was extremely well planned. As we arrived at our detestation we had to go through a 4x4 trail. Johan made sure each and every car got through the obstacles safely. He had so much information that he shared with us about the area that we were in. Told us so many stories, we loved it.
He made it so much fun!

Knowledgeable and considerate.
Eswatini 29 March to 6 April 2023.
I had an amazing tour through Eswatini with Johan and Elna. They made the crowd feel comfortable with one another and made us coffee on the longer driving trips. They shared interesting knowledge on route. Johan guided and made me wise on reversing my caravan and setting up camp. He led the convoy within everyone's capabilities and offered help with technical moves. I won't hesitate to go on another journey with them when I get a chance to get out again.
Single person towing on her own. Naomi.

Professional and well prepared operator
In preparation for the tour, information was well communicated. Johan and Elna are professional tour guides. Good knowledge of the route and environment. It was an advantage that Johan was a well experienced 4x4 driving instructor to make the tour stress free for all, despite towing off-road caravan through tough terrain.
The tour took us to places in the Kruger National park and greater Kruger that is not accessible to the normal public. It was an excellent non-fenced wild camping experience, and highly recommended

Well organized, very knowledgeable and fun to be with.
We did a 4x4 wilderness tour in the Kruger Park over 4 days. As we are familiar with the normal tourists routes in the Kruger Park, this tour offered the unique experience to travel on the back routes (not accessibly for public) in the park. It also offered some offroad experience, with 4x4 capabilities needed in some areas. A top rated Kruger guide accompanied the 4x4 convoy, adding to more in the field experiences, a lot of knowledge shared and giving the group the comfort and safety in the wild. The camp spots were all wild camping with no facilities, adding to the unique wild 4x4 experience. All in all a must do trip for any outdoor enthusiast!

Very knowledgeable about our route. A great tour!
It is always great fun travelling new routes that you haven't driven before. The tour was nice and relaxed. The campsites were clean and neat. The ablutions were good. All in all we had a fantastic time!

The tour operator is a likeable fellow and participates in all of the adventures.
First trip with B-S and took along a two man tent and was completely self contained with my vehicle. The camping spots were well thought out and well exposed in the bush. The facilities for eating was a communal fire and eating was around a large temporary table - the vibe was jovial and all encompassing. Value for money was good, the public are not able to visit these secluded places without rangers. the tour operator checked on each individual throughout the trip. At no stage was one exposed to any danger with the vehicle either on track or in the bush. I have been on two subsequent trips and will certainly participate in future adventures.

Would not consider doing a trip like this without this tour operator.
This particular trip is not for the faint hearted. The area is within a homeland and completely wild. Unless you own a good reliable 4x4 and a good solid off road trailer, don't bother applying. This is a life changing experience, the scenery is rugged, but breathtaking. The wild animals literally come through your camp as you are in their domain. The tour operator has the ability to bring everyone together and each one has their areas of responsibility, the trip cannot be done alone, it needs a team to travel the distance. Am waiting for the next one.
