Overall rating
5/5

Visited Cape Town initially, amazing food and the key tourist element were great, views for table mountain incredible and robbed island tour a must!
Then went round to boulders bay and visited the penguins - very unique and the cape of good hope national park.
From there we went to Hermanus and a great boat trip to see the sea life - dolphins, seals and penguins, although wrong time of year for whales!
We then went to cape augulas - the very tip of Africa where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean - good day out on superb roads in the western cape area and the odd baboon!
After this we spent a couple of days in Stellenbosch and did a couple of great wine tours before flying from Cape Town to Hoedspruit for a 4 day safari in the imbala lodge in the middle of the Kruger national park - what a final leg - saw all the major animals - lions, leopards, giraffe and elephants and millions of Impala! The hospitality and people were so friendly and the food was amazing !!! Defiantly coming back as soon as I have saved up !

A Journey into the Heart of the Wild: An Unforgettable Safari at Kruger National Park
Overall rating
5/5

From the moment I embarked on my safari adventure in the illustrious Kruger National Park, it was clear this was going to be an unparalleled voyage into the wilderness. Nestled in the heart of South Africa, Kruger is not just a park; it’s a colossal testament to the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. The booking experience set the stage for what was to be a meticulously organized, deeply immersive journey into nature’s untouched landscapes.

very interesting, very contradictory
Overall rating
5/5

We did a three-week round trip in South Africa. The nature is beautiful, the people very friendly. To learn more about society, however, you also have to read a lot on the internet. On a tourist tour, you usually only see the beautiful sides. Through Safari-Booking we found the agency Shinzelle Safaris. Our 4 day safari with Shinzelle Safaris was great. From booking to the end of the trip, everything worked out perfectly.

We loved Viva Safari tour. Excellent guiding and accommodation was great if you are looking for value for medium end tour. Saw all the big 5 and more. The scenery was beautiful and people so friendly and helpful. We would recommend South Africa to all. We did Jo’berg to Capetown. Fantastic.

Spent three days in Johannesburg, including staying in Rosebank and doing a tour of Constitution Hill, Soweto, and the Apartheid Museum. Food, history, and culture all amazing!

Spent another four days on safari in Kruger National Park. Incredible experience seeing some of the rarest and most charismatic animals in their natural habitat, including lions, leopards, white rhinos, zebra, impala, eagles, hawks, tortoises, chameleons, I can literally go on and on!

Finished trip in Cape Town. Had a fantastic experience staying in Camps Bay and traveling around the city seeing the beaches, hiking Table Mountain, and traveling out to the beautiful wine country.

Absolutely beautiful country with scenery that leaves one breathless.
Overall rating

I recommend the scenic routes, drive to the Cape, Hermanos. visit the beautiful vineyards in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Also a must do is a couple of nights in a reserve to see the animals up close. We stayed at the Inverdoon reserve and it was super.

A troubled country
Overall rating
5/5

Our tour with safaribookings went on very satisfactory - we saw almost all the animals we came for.
Regarding tourism there is a long way to go before we can walk freely in the streets and that’s a shame. Get that fixed

Stunning and unforgettable experience
Overall rating
5/5

Me and my mother went on a 16 day trip visiting Cape Town, driving along the garden route and ending on a lovely safari experience at Nambu Camp. We had the pleasure to have one of the best guides in South Africa, Terence. I recommend this experience to anyone who is looking into it. Defines the best way to end your trip is by doing a safari. You will enjoy the calmness and nature of the area, and you’ll have nothing else to worry about.
