Life changing experience, especially Kambaku Lodge, Tibavati Nature Reserve.
Timbavati Nature Reserve, Kambaku Lodge, was an incredible experience. Our ranger ensured that we saw every form of wildlife, it seemed like a dream. The warm hospitality of the staff, food, drink, was exceptional. It felt like a family gathering with the best vibe. Air conditioning in the huts would be the only recommendation. Kambaku Lodge, highly recommended.

A land of beauty and warmth
My husband and I have been wanting to experience a Safari so for my 60th birthday we chose to go to South Africa. In all honesty, we chose SA because it was an easier destination to get to from Hungary, where we currently live. The country and our experience being there did not disappoint. We are so glad we chose this destination. South Africa is blessed with a diverse landscape. In the north is the Savannah/bush that during March was still green and lush. The south, around Cape Town has beautiful mountains, white sandy beaches, and of course the ocean. Tourism is an important contributor to the SA economy and our experience was that the country and its people are second to none in welcoming tourists. Staff at the game reserves, hotels, restaurants, attractions work tirelessly to make sure your experience is the best it can be. We went to 2 game reserves (Sabi Sands & Kruger) and then spent a few days in Cape Town and its surroundings. We saw many animals in the game reserves and the lodges were beautiful. Cape Town has great food, many shops, a beautiful old town, gorgeous vineyards and the Cape of Good Hope. All worth a visit. We had a great experience and recommend SA to anyone considering it.

How to feel a deep connection with wildlife
We visited Madikwe and our experience was beyond words. The feeling of connection with wildlife without feeling like we are disturbing the animals or inducing new behaviors due to our presence meant a lot to us. Seeing them in their environment, living side by side and drinking side by side (zebras, impalas, …) by the pond in a tranquil and placid way was spectacular. Seeing lions and cubs was quite an experience too!
South African open skies offer a lot to enjoy at night when you just lift the head up and contemplate stars.

AMAZING
We visited Cape town which we found spectacular! Table Mountain was outstanding!
We also visited Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth and Richards Bay.
People are nice and warm coming.
Scenery is beautiful and temperature was really nice at day and cold at night.
I felt save but the locals are always telling you to take extra care of your belongings.
The highlight of our visit was Kruger Park. A most do!
We traveled with Shinzelle Safaris and everything was even better than dreamed!

An unforgettable experience and beautiful country
We’ve been visiting South Africa for 8 years now and never get tired of the sightseeing, food and wine. There is so much to do and the scenery and wildlife are amazing. You can’t visit without driving up the garden route and stopping off at the many vineyards. So beautiful. We feel like we’re home as soon as we step off the plane. There’s so much to do and experience. The people are wonderful and so helpful. We plan our return as soon as we get back to the UK.

Best Birthday Ever!!!
I was in Cape Town (don’t miss!!!) for a couple of weeks for vacation and decided to go to Kruger and the surrounding area for three days and two nights while I was there. I was a bit concerned about the price, but Mo-Africa Tours was super helpful answering my questions and helping me book an inclusive but super affordable trip. It was amazing!!! Someone picked me up from the airport and took me to my beautiful camp where a fabulous pool and clean and comfortable tent/room with private bath and shower were waiting for me. After I settled in, we went right out into the bush and saw elephants and giraffes and lions right away! A group dinner followed, and I met some awesome wonderful fellow travelers. The next day was my birthday. After spending the day seeing a ton of animals (4 of the Big 5) in Kruger with Mr Sands (shout out to the best guide in So Africa!!) I had a bit of relaxing time in the pool before our dinner. They had a birthday cake and everyone sang the Birthday Song to me and made me feel special. It was so kind and thoughtful! The last day I chose to see the surrounding sights with Blyde Canyon, Lisbon Falls, the Potholes, etc. Amazing!! Then they got me back to the airport to continue reminiscing about those fabulous days which I will remember forever!!

Amazingly vibrant place with lots of different cultures and landscapes
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
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
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.
