A good guide makes a great trip.
For the trip itself we had excellent info from the tour operator regarding preparation to and for the duration, and we were lucky - being 4 seniors - to be matched with other people with same interest to the trip into Krüger Nat. Park. Service during the tour all depends on the guide - and we got a great guide with knowledge about the animals and birds we saw and humor on top, made a splendid experience.

Not often do businesses deliver on what they advertise ....this company did and some.!
Our friends did the finding and booking then told us how easy their website was to use , and how helpful and patient Chris was with setting up the itinerary for our 4 day Safari to Kruger from JoBurg , the value for money is excellent with fantastic organisation from the get go followed by a fantastic host/guide in Clive with his years of experience , great stories about South Africa and Kruger and his obvious love for his job .......which I guess made me a little envious , this trip had the personal touch which is missing from a lot of ' tourist trips' and we highly recommend them, great company delivering on their promise, thank you Clive and the rest of your team.

An amazing safari experience
When we book a safari with Bubezi Safaris, we thought it will be the same as all the other safaris. What a surprise we got! We were treated like royalty and everything was absolutely perfect. They really went out of their way to make our safari an experience never to be forgotten. We most definitely recommend anybody who wants to book a safari, to book with Bubezi Safaris, because their service is excellent and will definitely treat you to an experience you will never forget.

Our trip with Wildlife Safaris was fantastic and the highlight of the 3 weeks spent in South Africa.
Communications from the inquiry stage to the time we were back at the airport at JoBerg were excellent. Hoppy, our guide, was knowledgeable, fun and took great care of us. The tour in Kruger was amazing. We didn't see a leopard but we saw just about every other mammal in the park. Hoppy was also knowledgeable about birds found in Kruger which also enriched our experience in the park. I would highly recommend a trip with Wildlife Safaris.

Kruger 3 day safari
This was awesome. The guide was perfect, knew everything about everything. I am not an animal lover but I enjoyed the safari. Price was perfect and the lodging was better than I expected. Would do again in the future.

A thoroughly enjoyable, 'bucket-list' Kruger Park safari & Panorama tour by Wildlife Safaris (Pty)
Our 5-day Kruger Park safari with Panorama tour arranged and managed by Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd. was an overwhelmingly positive experience from the get-go. This was our first trip to Africa and we knew NOTHING about safaris. We found Wildlife Safaris via our Lonely Planet tourbook and reserved our safari online with Christine who was ever informative and patient. She helped arrange our airport pickup and pre and post safari overnight stay in the Johannesburg area, making that aspect simple for us. Our Wildlife Safari guide, Clive was very knowledgeable with 11 years of guide experience and >35 years of visiting the park. His knowledge of the flora, fauna and history of the park was ever reliable and his stories entertaining. The safari vehicle, a clean air-conditioned van (with binoculars provided by Wildlife!) was very comfortable and the ability to view the African wildlife was good from all sides through open or closed windows. During the safari we stayed at a Kruger park bungalow for 2 days and a 4-star private safari lodge for 1 which gave us a sense of the differences between the two types of operation. We saw the greatest diversity of animals at Kruger Park while driving with Clive - lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, various antelopes - amazing in their natural environment. At the private safari lodge though we saw a cheetah with cubs close up which was very special. The Kruger Park bungalow was air-conditioned and had a kitchen which was not needed because Clive cooked wonderful barbeques for the evening meal and we ate at Kruger park venues for breakfast. These meals were fun, comfortable and good though not 'haute cuisine' (which was fine for us). The private safari lodge had their own restaurant and we enjoyed those meals but preferred the more relaxed atmosphere of our Kruger Park meals. Our room at the private safari lodge was beautiful. After the safari, Clive drove us through the canyons and waterfalls that are part of the Panorama tour. It was hazy but the scenery and views were jaw-dropping and well worth the trip. We stopped for shopping (at a silk factory and South African craft places) before staying overnight at a quirky motel called Hippo Hollow where hippos and crocodiles could theoretically join you at breakfast (they can coe on the grounds). It was a niice stay. Then we went on back to Johannesburg for the end of our safir. Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd and Clive provided us with a truly memorable experience that we would return for and highly recommend to others. They provided us with a safe but adventurous safari and touring experience, that was professionally arranged and had the element of a personal touch from our guide, Clive and the various venues that were well-selected by Wildlfe Safaris. They are a great company and the cost was very reasonable!

Great experience!
I have been four days on safari with Northern Circuit Adventure, my driver guide was Marco he was a great guy, very wise and fun to be around. Very tasty (although sometimes time consuming) meals were cooked by David. Everything went according to plan, the people with whom I joined were very nice, summing up I had a great time, lost of animals up close and rough situations which, to my point of view are great experience and very fun.
Asante Sana Mike.

A great help
It is almost impossible to plan a first trip to South Africa without the expertise of a travel agency that is based in South Africa. However there is always an unsafe feeling doing business with someone living in another continent. To do everything in confidence it was good that a friend advices us to contact Roho Ya Chui which is an agency based in South Africa however also in Europe, the Netherlands. So planning the trip was very easy and all financial stuff was done very correctly. We had a great trip.
