It's been my second time in South Africa and I'm sure it won't be the last!
This country has a vibrant culture. I love everything about SA: the people are super friendly, the food is delicious, the places are wonderful and so on. I highly recommend a visit to everyone who is looking for some adventure and a unique experience. This country has a lot to offer!
My experience on the safari will be unforgettable. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the lions, but this won't make my experience less memorable - I guess this is my excuse to come back again :)
The guides were doing their best to give us the best moments with a lot to teach and share. They were all very punctual and nice.
I did the one-day-tour in the Kruger and two days in the Greater Kruger. Next time I'll choose more days in the Kruger , the park is huge and deserves more attention.
My accommodation couldn't have been better. I spent four nights at the African Rock Lodge and they nailed it!!! They were awesome!
Thanks a lot Shinzelle for the great job! And Safari bookings for helping us find the best options.

We had the most amazing time visiting South Africa. We used Safari Booking to book our Kruger Safari and it was the highlight of our whole visit. We did a 2 night, 3 day trip with 4 game drives at sunrise and sunset. We saw the big 5 almost twice and the guides were fantastic. The place was beautiful and we had the most wonderful time speaking to people and getting to know the different places.

We spend 4 nights at the Simbavati River Lodge in a very luxurious tent. The team was absolutely friendly and helpful and we enjoyed every minute. Going out into the bush twice a day was the best. We learned so much from Martin and Stiff and saw next to the Big 5 so much more!
Thank you!!

Fascinating country for its human life and wildlife!

The safaris were amazing! I saw the Big Five plus so much more. Just being in the vibration of the wild is life changing. I was there for a week and would suggest two 3-4 night stays in different camps/lodges to maximize locations and sitings but not have to move around too much.

A must to enjoy the wildlife experience in Kruger. The Panorama trip and drive through Garden Route simply breathtaking. Our stay in Umbhabha (one of their new lodge) and the food were good. Definitely will recommend Safari Bookings for those planning to go to South Africa.

Eye opening

4/5

The 5 day private safari for 4 at the Kruger National Park was awesome. Not only did we see a large variety of animals in their natural environment, we were also very fortunate to have had Shoes Mathebula from Khalanga Safaris as our guide because he pointed out and explained many aspects of animal behaviour to us, which enriched the whole experience. Besides that he also prepared ‘local’ meals for us which we enjoyed and the accommodations in the parks were very comfortable . Having never been on safari before, we did not know what to expect but we came away rating the Kruger safari as one of our best holiday trips. Besides the safari, we also spent 3 days in Cape Town which was not enough to appreciate what it had to offer. Having been warned about security issues, we were careful and attentive and did not have any problems during our self drive around the scenic costal route . Our stay at the V&A waterfront was exceptional for the ambience and proximity to food and shopping. I would recommend South African as a holiday destination.

Visiting South Africa was a majestic and memorable experience.

Safari With Us created a 7 day itinerary for our stay in South Africa that included everything from transfers, accommodation, meals game drives and tours. South Africa is a beautiful country and the people we met were just as beautiful. We were blessed to see all of the big 5 up close during game drives at Kruger National Park. We also got to enjoy the diverse country with a knowledgeable tour guide and spectacular views along the panoramic route. If you get the opportunity to visit South Africa it is something you will remember for a life time.

South Africa is best place ever!!!
Overall rating
5/5

I was expecting this trip to South Africa for a long time, so I was very thrilled once I arrived! I can say now after spending 15 days over there that the reality of South Africa is way better than my expectations! The experience in Kruger Park was wonderful; to see the wild life really near to me, the lights, the colors… all the big 5 and not just once! I will stop to say thank you to our guide Remember! And then the ocean with all its animals, and the scenic route of Cpe Town, the food and the people in the south but also in the north in Johannesburg. All was so overwhelming that I cried when I was about to take my plane back in Europe! Thanks South Africa for these precious memories!
