Above our expectations
My wife and I did the 6 nights/7 days safari. The experience was above our expectations from the hotel pick up to the airport transfer at the end. You don't need to worry about one thing, your guide is there for you all the time. We are usually travelling on our own but this time we thought that it would be easier to book a trip like this one. With Moriti, you don't only get a safari trip, but more like a life experience. You don't only see animals, you get to learn about the bush and the life in it.

Excellent Photography Tour
One of the best South African photo tours I have been on!
If you want privacy from people on game drives (you will be the only vehicle on a sighting),this tour is a must! The camps/lodges are at the top in my book and the private chef who will cook all your meals is 5 STAR!
Shaun is a VERY knowledgable guide who understands animal behavior, tracking wild animals, and the ecosystems of the Klaserie, and Kruger NP. Your safety is also his number one priority when you are on foot tracking animals...which is awesome to be able to do. He understands how photographers work in the field and how demanding we can be at times. Do not hesitate...book a tour with Shaun Taylor of Moriti Private Safaris.. After taking this trip, I consider Shaun a close friend and working partner. I will continue to do all my trips with Moriti Private Safaris and look forward to my next photographic adventure with Shaun.

One of my best experiences in the bush ever!
Our experience with Shaun Taylor as host, guide and all-round manager at Camp George in Klaserie exceeded every expectation we had prior to the four (much too short) days we spent there. Shaun has exceptional knowledge of the bush and the local area and his outstanding tracking skills and understanding of animal behavior ensured that everyone learned more that we were able to take in including excellent close encounters with the big five. The accommodation and facilities that comprises a boma and lounges with the most beautiful views of the surrounding bush including a watering hole was better than one can imagine. Thank you Shaun for an unforgettable experience I will most definitely return as often as possible!

Understated excellence at every level.
I had the amazing good fortune to be included on the first SAN Parks Honorary Rangers Photographic Safari in Klaserie, and hosted by Moriti Safaris Camp George is the ultimate private bush retreat with complete privacy in understated luxury. The waterhole about 50m from the perimeter fence was the centerpiece for a continual ebb and flow of visitors from herds of zebra and elephant to warthogs and everything in-between. The plunge pool nestled under a large tree in the garden is the perfect oasis to cool down in the afternoon siesta.
Shaun is an incredible guide. His passion for the wild and intricate knowledge of flora and fauna are as endemic as his friendly and patient demeanor. His ability to track not only an animal from spoors in the sand but to unravel an entire story of group interaction makes finding game a fun and productive exercise. Photographing the wild could not have been better facilitated.
The overall experience superseded my expectations several times over. I cannot wait for the next one.

7 day Kruger family adventure of a life-time
If you are lucky enough to secure a booking with Shaun at Moriti Safaris, you are in for a treat. Shaun is a pleasure to spend time with (our boys adored him) and has a great sense of humour. His passion for the bush and the animals is completely infectious, and his tracking skills enabled us to get up close to so many different animals. His hand-picked accommodations were fantastic. We stayed at Panzi Lodge (the boys loved playing in the pool and with the two resident Jack Russels) which was rustic and gorgeous, then at Angela's House (an incredible private house with a view to die for). All our meals were gourmet and delicious. The trip surpassed all my hopes and expectations - it was amazing!

As Good As It Gets
Shaun is absolutely top-notch. Having worked in Sequoia and Denali National Parks, I can truly say Shaun was the best tour guide I've ever come across. His knowledge and expertise about the flora and fauna throughout the park was incredible as was his ability to track animals based on their prints and poop next to the road. Shaun is very laid-back, eager to make sure everyone is having a great time and managed a group of differing ages and interests with ease. The thing I was most impressed with was Shaun's genuine love and passion for every facet of the park from the geology to the trees to the birds and the animals. The week we spent with him in Kruger went by way too quick and he added an incredible amount of value by providing knowledge and sightings we would have never experienced on our own.

I Highly Recommend Moriti Safaris
Shaun took us on an 8 day excursion from North to South of the Kruger National Park. Shaun is outgoing, friendly , warm , funny , responsible, fun to be around , and is like an encyclopaedia of nature and wildlife. There is nothing he doesn't know about the animals or the plants and will teach you many interesting things when you go on safari with him. In addition to all of the above qualities he is also a brilliant animal tracker and spotter and we saw the big 5 many times thanks to Shaun, his skills and his knowledge of the bush. I highly recommend Moriti Safaris ! Thanks for an awesome trip Shaun. I look forward to next time.

The only way to do a Safari is with Moriti- Simply THE Best!!!
Moriti Safaris does everything with the upmost integrity and makes a point to go above and beyond the client needs.
Our safari in itself was absolutely spectacular! They were incredibly knowledgeable and had a wealth of information which made the whole experience 10x better than what we imagined.
Truly an amazing group to work with and have now become good friends!

Extraordinary, exciting experience.
What an amazing week we spent on safari with Shaun from Moriti Safaris.He was extremely patient and helpful from the time we first emailed him regarding the safari until we finally made all the changes and included other activities we wanted.
Shaun treated us to a fantastic safari. His knowledge of everything from the big 5 to the small 5 and everything in between including birds and plants is outstanding. He truly cares for the bush and animals, has a deep understanding of animal behaviour and how everything in the bush fits together into the ecosystem. He passes on his knowledge in a fun but informative way.
We had exciting morning and evening safaris every day seeing lots of animals each time. Mother nature and Shaun really looked after us.
The pride of lions eating the buffalo had to be a highlight. We sat extremely close to watch them eating. It was because of Shauns knowledge that he followed the lone lion from the water hole to the kill.
We were treated to sundowners watching a herd of elephant cross the river and babies playing in the mud at the edge of the river.
Seeing Wild dog didn’t mean a lot to us until Shaun told us how few there are in the park and how incredibly lucky we were to actually sit with them.
Even sitting in camp we were able to watch an abundance of animals at the waterhole and enjoyed the wort-hog family who made themselves at home around camp.
Our accommodation on the way to Camp George was stunning. Flycatcher castle will never be forgotten and the source of many laughs forever. Marnies hospitality was second to none.Laughing Waters also treated us well with a bonus night safari and delicious meals. Finally Camp George is a wonderful place to stay with lots of space both indoor and out.
Lindsay ensured that we didn’t go hungry by cooking fabulous meals three times a day with snacks for on safari. Her meals were so delicious we all had to loosen our belts by the end of our stay.
Shaun looked after our every need from the time he picked us up until he dropped us back at our accommodation. We felt like we left a long time friend when we said goodbye.
We highly recommend Shaun and Moriti Safaris for an experience that couldn’t be surpassed.
