Perfect
It was great! We were able to do the three parks and take the time to observe the animals domir eat hunt! It was amazing. Damien was a great guide. We didn't expect to eat so well thanks to the cook Tito! That was delicious. In short, I recommend this experience to everyone.

Review about Kruger National Park by Perpetua
The wildlife and beauty of the place is unmatched but there were many other tourists as well, which made us feel that we had a more intimate experience at Milima.
Nonetheless, the variety of animals and the fact that they exist in much greater numbers made it a whole different experience for us.

Travel destination that exceeded expectations.
We took a three week trip for our honeymoon and we had a blast. There's just so much to do. For example we took a multi day Safari trip in Kruger. We did a day long wine tasting trip in Franschhoek. We took several shark cage diving excursions. Highly recommended. Quite a bit of sightseeing, including shopping and the most southern point in Africa. We went to the worlds largest open air aviary, if you love birds, it's definitely worth checking out.

Best experience ever that was life-changing and awe-inspiring.
Judy from Wildlife Encounters was amazing from start to end. She provided us with tips, advice and planned our itinerary well to suit the needs of our family. She also ensured that we were well-taken care of by all the different operators throughout our 5 days.
Our experience from when we landed at Johannesburg was indescribably amazing. Our airport transfer driver was friendly and knowledgeable and ensured that our needs were met throughout our 6-hour long drive to Hoedspruit.
Thereafter, the experience at Milima Big 5 Safari was absolutely wonderful. The game drives were stellar and unmatched, and our guide, Thomas, had a wealth of knowledge to share about all the different animals and birds that we encountered. He also went out of his way to ensure that he was there with us throughout our game drives over the 5 days. We saw all the possible animals that we could have encountered, even though we had absolutely no expectations, knowing that the wildlife are roaming the lands on their own. Despite this, the birds, elephants, kudu, baboons and impalas that visited the watering hole at Milima each day were already enough for us to feel contented. Yet, Thomas ensured that each game drive was a memorable one as he demonstrated his skill and expertise in studying the tracks and knowing where the animals would mostly be. The close proximity of the wildlife, their calmness, coupled with the beauty of the surroundings, and especially the sunsets, were absolutely indescribable. Together with the service and care we received from the warm and friendly staff at Milima, the experience is truly one that would live on in our hearts for a long long time.
The 1-day drive out at Kruger was also excellent as it gave us a good view of the large herds of animals that we had previously encountered in smaller groups whilst at Milima. Our guide, Jessie, took effort to read the sightings board to help us decide our routes for the day, and we were rewarded through his knowledge and expertise as well.
On our last day, Judy also helped to arrange for us to visit the Blyde River Boat Tour, which helped my children to appreciate the beauty of the Three Rondavels and Blyde Canyon itself. The guide there also helped to share more information about the landscape, vegetation and biomes of the area which led to a rich learning experience.
These beautiful experiences culminated with a life-changing experience at Maholoholo Wildlife Sanctuary which strives to educate about the need to protect and conserve our wildlife. We fully appreciate and applaud the hard work they go through to ensure the safety of the wildlife, to rehabilitate them and to do what is necessary to release the rescued wildlife back into nature where possible. The stories of each of the animals are amazing and tear-jerking. Knowing that they have an ongoing volunteer programme also made us want to come back to help when the children are of the right age. The tour helped us to further appreciate the balance of the ecosystem that can only be achieved when the value of each individual species is recognised and respected.
We left Hoedspruit for Cape Town with a newfound appreciation and love for wildlife and nature. Even though we had a great time exploring the vibe and culture of South Africa through Cape Town, our hearts remain in the bush and we will definitely be back.
Thank you South Africa, for the life-changing and excellent experience.

Heidi Bedford helped plan and coordinate the perfect trip for our family. We had zero worries on our trip. We traveled through four countries and everything went smoothly. All our accommodations were A++. I am recommending Heidi and Pembury to all my friends.
