Trip of a Lifetime. Tour of a Lifetime. Shaun nails it!
This was the perfect experience - from the planning stages starting nine months prior to the tour to the luxurious five days on the safari. Truly trip of a lifetime that was so special because of Shaun and his ability to personalize the tour based on our requests to his incredible knowledge of everything that goes on in the park. The trip fully exceeded our expectations. We saw all of big 5 along with a check-book filled guide of other animals and birds. Shaun was an expert on all things and brought our safari to life. His excitement, knowledge and ability to share made the trip perfect. The facilities we used in the public and private park. The personalized food. Can't recommend Shaun and Moriti any higher.

Outstanding Again
This was our second trip with Moriti and we wouldn't dream of going with anyone else. I was a little worried beforehand that it couldn't possibly be as good second time around, but again it didn't disappoint. Shaun really knows his stuff and is great to be around - it's like being on holiday with a good friend. Nothing is too much trouble for him and we saw a great mix of animals including the Big 5 on five different days. Get planning our next adventure, Shaun, we'll be back again!

Fantastic Kruger safari experience
Booked the Moriti 9 day safari after online research and delighted with the result, it was amazing from start to finish. We saw the Kruger from 3 different perspectives, the Southern Kruger national park, the Tshukudu private reserve, and the highlight which was the very private lodge at Klaserie in the Greater Kruger. It was so comfortable and relaxing and completely in the wilderness. We felt very special with private game drives and superb food cooked just for us in such a wonderful location.
Everything on the whole trip was wonderfully organised, our guide William was amazing, and the accommodation and food everywhere were top class. It all acted as a superb background to the real highlight, the wildlife itself. We had so many amazing wildlife experiences from the large to the small including close encounters with feeding lions, observing cheetahs immediately after a kill from almost within touching distance, and inquisitive rhinos whilst on foot. A real highlight was following wild dogs to a kill with hyenas and vultures circling, and then watching just metres from the pack as the pups were fed meat brought back to them.
In the brief time outside of the Kruger reserve other experiences were packed into the itinerary, all of them special in their own way. There was wonderful scenery at God’s Window, Blyde Canyon and potholes, along with animal interactions at rehabilitation centres with elephants, cheetahs, vultures, eagles, and even a hippo.
Shaun at Moriti was excellent in organising and communicating the booking process and payment, and put together a brilliant packed tour itinerary.
This wonderful trip will certainly not be our last safari, and we would certainly recommend Moriti to anyone looking for similar experiences of a lifetime.

An amazing and unique experience which ticked all the boxes and surpassed expectation.
From my first, vague email to a very sad farewell at the end of an incredible African adventure, Shaun and his staff have been nothing but friendly, helpful, caring and professional and a bottomless mine of information. We did our version of the "9-Day Guided Best of Kruger Park Safari" tour - a great choice to get a sample of public, commercial and private reserves with some spectacular scenery thrown in courtesy of the Panorama Route.
Shaun's pride and passion for Africa, her wildlife and humans, shows in everything he does, as does his willingness to share his wealth of knowledge. He is a great judge of character and tweaks the experience as he gets to know his clients. Be prepared for fun, laughter and awe-inspiring wildlife encounters. Walking through the African bush is an experience we will never forget. His tours are not just about ticking boxes as you spot the big 5, they are about appreciating whatever this magical place wishes to share with you.
Shaun's contacts and carefully selected staff allow him to provide an incredibly well-serviced tour. Accommodation was always well above expectation, and meals were fabulous.
This was a supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience, but we are already saving for the return trip, this time with the children.

Amazing life changing experience! Private photographer safari success
Choosing a safari from half way around the globe can be a daunting challenge. Look no further! This tour exceeded all our expectations. We booked a 5 night photographer's safari through Moriti and Shaun. What helped us chose this one was Shaun's speed in replying and thoroughness in communication. We were booked with the Nzumba lodge in the Klaserie Camps and were delighted to spend time with Werner and Rica as our hosts. Werner is an extremely knowledgeable ranger and tracker who made us feel safe and a part of the family immediately. Rica was a gracious host who made every meal an art form and feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The rooming was like something out of movie. 5 star all the way! The daily drives were private (just my husband and I) and customized to what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to stay out. I cannot recommend this location or it's hosts more! I'm telling all my friends about it...you should too!

Best ever experience!
Shaun gave us the experience of a lifetime and his knowledge and passion for wildlife is generously shared which allowed us to learn an incredible amount while we relaxed and enjoyed every minute of our trip!
We had amazing sightings of wild dogs, lion, hyena, elephants, owls and so much more and I will never look at ants in the same way again!
My only complaint is that it had to come to an end but I will most definitely be back!

Bush knowledge and passion for conservation all rolled into one !
This trip was one of the best we have done after more than 20 years of "bushing" in many National Parks and private Game Reserves. Shaun is an awesome guide who has a wealth of knowledge about the bush and animal behaviour in general. To top it all, he is a genuinely pleasant person who is fiercely passionate about what he does and actually cares about the experience he gives to his guests. Our expectations were exceeded by some distance and we will not hesitate to undertake another African safari with Moriti.....
Number one Africa Safari for older folks...we were aged 40+ to 70+ and all were adventure happy
I was wondering how it was going to work, we had ages 40+ right up to me 70+ and our wishlists were different. But Shaun did it, tailored every day for all of us to enjoy. I asked him......how do you know what to do to keep us all happy... and he said, he takes inspiration from his own family's needs around him..., older members with health challenges, younger ones still finding their way in the world... However he did it, it worked, we were delighted, safe, involved in the decision process, and respected for our physical fitness levels and requirements. Shaun and his Moriti Private Safaris are the best way to do Africa. We started planning a year out, and that was good, because he gets booked up with repeat clients. Put us on your repeat list I said. Thanks Moriti team for a great Africa Safari time !

Most wonderful safari experience!
Having recently been on safari with Shaun of Moriti, I can honestly say that it was the most wonderful, life-changing experience, all thanks to Shaun! Knowledgeable, passionate, a consummate professional, and all round nice guy, he is the best! Nothing is too much trouble to ensure you get the absolute best safari experience. The game safaris are of course the highlight, however Shaun also looks at the "bigger picture", ensuring the whole experience hits the mark. The lodges are stunning (especially the Klaserie private lodge), the meals are terrific (with private chef Lindsay on board), and the logistics work like clockwork. Shaun makes it all seamless, always with a smile on his face. All I can think of now is booking a repeat safari with him!!
Unequalled for getting up close with the naturally-real Africa, without crowds, and with top service
Moriti Private Safaris deliver it all, the environment passion, the service, the safety, the amazing wildlife access, the tailoring to suit you, the up and beyond attention to detail, the unequalled 'what more can we do' attitude to every part of every day. Our group of 6 spent day after day, away from other tourists for the most part, enjoying time to just quietly observe everything, photograph what we wished, be explained to, and understand the nature of life for each species. Africa does get under your skin ! This is our second visit, and we have already given our commitment to Shaun, Owner/Guide, that we want to book him again within the next two years. Every one we know who is interested in visiting the REAL Africa, will be hearing about him and his service. You can trust everything about how he operates... from the heart... from a lifetime of giving back to the people and environment of the real Africa. Thank you Shaun and Moriti from the bottom of our heart, and from the top of our wishlist for an adventure lived to the maxiumum for sure wonder, excitement, and respect. 100 out of 100 - higher marks if possible :)
