An extraordinary trip
Overall rating
5/5

It was a 180° different trip from what we had done, the Compass Odyssey operator, and Darren the agency contact, are 10 professionals, the entire 14-day trip without any setbacks, everything ran like a precision clock.
From our trip to South Africa we were in Cape Town, the Kruger National Park and Johannesburg.
In Cape Town we had the opportunity to see the penguins and whales, the weather was a little cool and rainy, but our guide Sarah knew how to take advantage of it and made us have wonderful days, we were able to climb Table Mountain with a view spectacular.
In the Kruger National Park, since we entered the park we started to see animals, giraffes, zebras, impalas, all of these before arriving at Lounge Senalala, our very pleasant surprise was seeing a group of super friendly and expert young people, On the first morning safari we were able to see a pride of lions, something spectacular!! Of the big five we were able to see 4 in Kruger Park.
The weather in the mornings and in the afternoon when the sun set was cool, which was solved with a jacket.

Safari Paradise

5/5

Kapama and Simbavati private lodges were excellent. Kruger national park area was excellent and was able to see Big 5 on almost every day. It was so relaxing just watching animals living their lives. We learnt so much about their behavior. What a great opportunity. Tour operator and trackers went out of their way to make us comfortable. I would return to African continent for more safari tours.

We enjoyed touring Johannesburg but Cape Town was the place to be for us. The weather was incredible and all of the
people we met were extraordinarily pleasant. It seems as though the places we visited were safe and there were plenty of security guards. The scenery was Very beautiful and our safari with Viva Safari was very enjoyable with plenty of animal sitings. Krueger National Park was exciting and once again plenty of animals.

Amazing!
Overall rating
5/5

The scenery in the National Parks in South Africa was absolutely stunning. Had a good safari in Kruger visiting the Elephant Herd Tours place first and learning a lot about elephants that I didn't know before. Also drove up to eSwatini (Swaziland) and stayed at Mkyaha game reserve so that I could see rhino and indeed I did! Loads of them. It's a unique place to stay and was quite an experience with it's stone houses in the camp that have no windows or doors but flushing toilets and hot water showers.

Our first Safari and it did not disappoint. We had booked a 3 day Safariwith Ku Sungula and had seen all of the big five within 48 hours.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable, especially loved the outdoor areas for each room. Staff extremely helpful and friendly.

A fabulous trip!

We contacted Indigo Safaris via Safari Bookings. We had spotted a 3 night, reasonably priced stay at Thakadu River Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve. An easy process and a spectacular stay at Thakadu Lodge. Highly recommend the lodge, the tour company and the booking site.
