Sceneries are so pretty, there are lots to see in Cape Town area. Kruger Park is awesome! Really good place to test your eye vision (how easy can you spot animals) and your knowledge of animals! Recommend to visit both places.

Overall rating
5/5

- Wildlife and scenery were absolutely great, we got to see much more than we thought we would.
- Accommodations we very good. We spend some nights in tent and some in rondawells. Accommodation had everything we needed to have a good night sleep and to shower and wash clothes etc.
- Our guide Mr. Chris was fantastic! He was very professional and knew all about the animals and nature. He also told us many stories about the traditions in Africa. Our cook and "fixman" Mr. Lungi was also fantastic! I don't know how he did it but he managed to do dozens of things at the same time and we didn´'t need to worry about anything. Thank you Mr Chris and Mr Lungi!!
- The highlights that we saw are many; elephants, buffalo's, lions, rhinos, hyenas and even one snake! And of course the African nature itself, the colors, sounds and the darkness of the evening!

The safari was absolutely awesome, Rochelle from Kruger Park Tours did an awesome job and has organised the whole trip to our FULL satisfaction. She answered all questions in a timely manner and organised everything just as we wanted it.
And we were not disappointed at all!
Organisation - excellent
Wildlife - excellent
Food - excellent
Accommodation - excellent
Bush Vibe, Guides and Staff - outstanding.

We enjoyed our stay so much. We had no idea which camp operator to choose, Kruger Park Tours booked us for Tydon Safari Camp. It is a familiy owned business, for people by people. Thanks to its location, you will/can enjoy both, the Kruger Park itself and the Sabi Sands Reserve - wildlife spotting was awesome and so was the rest! About Tydon Safari camp: it is not toursim mass processing, the guides take their time to explain everything, food is superb - local food - which you don't find in a restaurant. Beds in the tents as well as the tents were VERY clean and comfortable. The evenings and also day toures were full of fun and giggles - we could not ask for more.
Thanks so much Rochelle and Tydon Safaris for this awesome Safari, memories for a lifetime!

5/5

The safari experience for my wife and I was truly different and amazing. We hadn’t done anything of this sort before. Going out into the domain of these amazing animals in a 4x4 truck out in the open was a unique and thrilling experience. We were at the Gomo Gomo lodge and everything was organized very well. The only thing I would request from the lodge would be that there be more vegetarian option regarding the food. Other jab that, everything was great!

I rate our experience with Andre and Ettienne as excellent. Our booking with Andre went as advertised and far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Ettienne, made our trip to Pilanesburg National Park fun and informative with a side trip to the cable car and to Hartbeespoort Dam. He picked us up at our hotel in Johannesburg on time, and made us feel comfortable and safe. Our lodging at The Kingdom proved to be modern, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we were impressed with the buffet provided at meal-times. Ettienne even treated us to an evening braai at our cottage. We toured the Park with three separate Park guides during our stay, who were all exceptionally entertaining and knowledgeable. On all three days they were able to find incredible groups of giraffes, hippos, rhinos, elephants, lions, impala, wildebeests, and so much more, including birds, baboons, guinea fowl, and ... did I say, so much more. The scenery on our morning ride included an incredible sunrise with misty mountain scenes. The evening tour astounded us with a colorful sunset and the feel of traveling through the dark knowing wild animals surrounded us in their natural habitat. We ended our trip with a tour at the Cradle of Mankind before our return to the hotel. Additionally, Andre and Ettienne were able to assist us with obtaining a reputable driver to tour the Cape when we travelled to Cape Town. If we ever go back to South Africa, or other countries in Africa, we will definitely ask this company and its great guides for assistance in planning our excursion.

South Africa is so beautiful it’s hard not to have a good time, especially if you love nature and animals. Everything is very clean, the people are polite and there is lots to see. I would highly recommend a visit.
