5 perfect days in Kruger
Perfect 5 stars experience! Far beyond my expectations! So good that I promised myself that I will sit down and write an appropriate review! They deserve it!
I took the tour of 5 days (4 nights). It all started with Elsabe whom I was in contact with by email for few weeks – Super nice! Answered every question super-fast sending always helpful information and always with grace!
Starting from the drive from Jbourg to Skukuza, through each and every game drive and each meal – Everything was just perfect! The guides, the people, the food (EXCELENT FOOD!) and well the atmosphere of the park and its amazing animals – amazing!
I missed the Leopard but I saw plenty of the other big 5 including really close lions in 4 different times. Although I really wanted to see that Leo I must say that apart from those 5 I got to see amazing scenarios only few meters away. (An elephant spotting a giraffe on his path to the lake started chasing it right near our car… 4 lionesses just about hunting a zebra etc…).
Well you have to bring your own luck but apart from that Outlook take care of everything and everything was perfect!
Already recommended it to close friends and will definitely keep doing so!
Just 2 more things – Most of the people I met there took the 3 days tour. I think it's great and it might definitely be enough; but I noticed that some of them were really anxious and afraid they won't see everything. It's a vacation you shouldn't be anxious all the time and I think that even 1 more day makes the entire trip much calmer (as it's supposed to be). If you have the possibility take at least 4 days.
One more thing – I also stayed in Jbourg at Outlook lodge – very cool calm super nice place! 10 min from the airport. If you go – don't miss dinner!
Enjoy!!!

It was a dream!
It was the most stunning beautiful trip and our first Safari but not the last for sure. We dreamt the eyes wide open.
Thank you a million for all your assistance and advises.
Looking for the next safari in Botswana maybe this time.

A very picturesque country
I climbed Kilimanjaro guided by a wonderful tour guide Angelo. This was a unique experience as I managed to climb the summit and meet the sunrise over Africa.
I want to thank the whole team who accompanied me on the way up. All my stuff was properly carried, and Vitor-the-cook prepared lovely dishes up in the mountains.

The best of all Worlds
Visiting SA for the first time, we didn't have any expectations, but what an amazing experience we were in for. Every day was a new adventure for us, and had us in awe each time.
Cape Town, was a dream, picturesque in every corner. Cuddled by the mountains on one side and an untouched Atlantic ocean on the other.
It was such an amazing chilled vibe, allowing you take life a little slow and soak it all in.
A little drive to Kalk Bay (colorful sea side town filled with cute little shops and boutique restaurants) to see some African Penguins in their natural habitat, via the beautiful Chapmans Peak, with a view of the South Atlantic ocean.
Be prepared for all weather conditions.
Rigter after we flew over to Johannesburg and opted for the 5 day Kruger Park Safari, and we were defnitley not disappointed.
Kruger National Park showed off in the best way posisble, giving us a view of the BIG 5 everyday but all in different settings.
We were blessed with our guide, Hoppy. His knowledge of the park was incredible, spotting the big 5 and alot of other animals, that the naked eye would have missed. Kruger National Park has some beautiful birds (normally overlooked by people only looking for the big 5), but he would point out their beautiful colors and sounds, and we would just get immersed.
He made sure that we had all our meals and stayed in some amazing properties, the first with a view of the hippos just chilling as they normally would, literally 15m away, and where elephants would come to graze as well.
We did a sunset tour while we stayed within the reserve at Satara, where we were literally a foot away from a Lion, just taking a nap, which would later come to have a sip of water just by the reserve.
On the way back, Hoppy took us along the Panorama Route, which is a whole other world of beautiful mountain ranges and lakes and colorful townships.
Thanks to Hoppy, we saw and learned so much more, and he gave us the time to just sometimes sit and enjoy it for awhile.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Sudhir
A piece of heaven on Earth! Great any time of the year. Suggest you visit during the rains as the clouds rolling into the crater is a photographers dream. Ensure that a good wide angle lens is in your camera kit along with all your zooms :) Also do not miss to see Oldupai Gorge in the Serengeti NP . This is where humanity started & there is a resident Red & yellow barbet which will allow you to get reaaaal close!

Fantastic easter
We spend a 4d / 3n safari with wild root and was not disappointed! Everything from the guide, to the lodges was very nice and we never felt anything was missing. Special praise should go to our guide Raymond who was amazing at spotting "the big five" among other cool stuff.
So very pleased, very recommendable!

Beautiful people and exciting animals every day.
Even with all of the rain and flooding taking place in Kenya are experienced was amazing amazing. The people were beautiful and so willing to help and I could not believe all of the animals we were able to see every day.
Our trip was planned out in full detail by Esther.And our driver Duncan made everyday an adventure.We were able to visit three of the national parks and stayed in wonderful hotels along the way.
I cannot think of one thing. I would have changed other than maybe repairing a few pot holes in the roads, but it did not take away from our experience at all.
