Had an excellent experience booking through SafariBookings. Sunny, our tour guide, was super attentive and nice. The place where we stayed was also beautiful! Loved my experience!

Beautiful country with so much to see and do!
Overall rating
5/5

We loved the experience of staying at a lodge in private game reserve which allowed us to see wildlife up close! Kruger was also amazing, but just a different experience. I would highly recommend combining both of those types of safaris.
The lodge was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Food was amazing and the staff very friendly. Amazing experience for us for sure!

Animals in the Wild
Overall rating
4/5

Cape Town is a great city, from the mountains to the sea, we toured with a driver up to the Table Mountain,the cable car displaying fantastic views,down to the city and out along the coast and seaward,
The beaches were good and and close to the city,
We travelled out to a Safari Resort(,Along way from Cape Town) Mossel Bay, Botlierskop Private Game Reserve,
it was well worth the drive,
and everything there was wonderful, the Lodge and Meals excellent, the Rooms very comfortable with many types as options,swimming pool ,spa,etc
The staff and Game guides were perfect, the vehicles well maintained and comfortable, we saw many animals including Cheeters, Lions, Rhino, Hippo, Giraffes, Elephants, and bird species, we did 4 game drives, early morning and late afternoon, Each one stopping for refreshments along the way, each drive about 3 hours, recommend this Lodge

We visited SA for remote work in Cape Town followed by a safari at Arathusa Lodge. The lodge was lovely and our tour operator, who helped us coordinate the flights and accommodation, was a wonderful help throughout. Saw an abundance of animals and had a spacious, beautiful room.

Kruger Tour
Overall rating
5/5

We did a 3 day kruger safari tour which started and ended in Johannesburg. It was an amazing end to our holiday, and Norman as our guide was brilliant. He was kind, professional, very knowledgable and just a genuinely lovely man. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five on a sunset and full day safari.. plus lots more! The hotel was amazing too. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you won't regret it!! Thanks again Norman and Nhalala travel.

A great start to our trip!! Everything was on time and well done. Highly recommend for a day trip!
Overall rating
5/5

From beginning to end this was a very nice experience!! This turned out to be a very nice day trip from Jo'burg during a layover day. Had some great viewing in a lovely park...hard to believe its only a couple hours from the airport hotels! If you have only a day, I would recommend going to Plainsburg NP for a really nice day and an excellent taste of Africa!!
