The Mohlabetsi Safari lodge was superb. The accommodation and food were world class. Nina was priceless and catered to everyone's needs. Our guide Jacque was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the wildlife and had a great personality. The tracker, Herbert, displayed the most incredible skills in tracking the big 5. We were fortunate to see a wide variety of African wildlife and flora in some of the most breathtaking scenery. I would recommend the Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge to anyone without reservation.

Amazing 4 day safari
Overall rating
5/5

Loved Kruger National Park, we did a private tour with Wild Planet Safaris - definitely the way to do it in peak period December when the park is hot and where there are loads of locals on holidays. We had lots of flexibility regarding when we would start our game drives (hello 4am) to beat the rush to see animals. Our guides Ryan and Ben were fantastic and so knowledgeable, always managing to spot animals from a distance. We managed to spot all big 5, with the two leopards making appearances on our very last game drive. We stayed at the Berg en dal and skakuza rest camps which were very comfortable and well equipped. The food every day was varied and tasty.

Game drives are amazing, fascinating and unforgettable adventures.
Overall rating
5/5

The game drives are amazing, fascinating and unforgettable adventure, mainly the early safaris, where beyond the wild life you can appreciate a sunset. Kruger’s park is fabulous and absolutely, beautiful.
I would like to highlight that beyond safari, I travelled to different places in Africa, such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Garden Route and in all of them, I spent amazing time. A very kind and friendly people, very good food, good wines and very professional services. Because, I was alone my trip in the Garden Route was with Baz Bus. It was awesome. I would like to point out profissional andfriendly services of Baz Bus drivers. In additon, I had an oportunity to meet and talk to people from different countries. Baz Bus is an excellent option to know the Garden Route, mainly if you are alone or do not rent a car. Travelling around South Africa was an amazing and unforgettable experience. I hope to visit Africa again in a near future. I DO RECOMMEND.

A negative point of my trip was that a guide (MMILO TOURS) who I have not known because each game drive safari was with a different guide, simply let me waiting for him or her from 3:00 H in the morning until almost 5:00 and did not come to pick me up for my last booked safari. It was a disappointing, disagreeable and frustrating experience. It was my last chance to see leopard that is mainly a nocturnal in habit. Later, I knew that it happens with a certain frequency with this tour agency
PLEASE, BE AWARE OF THE TOUR AGENCY WE CONTRACT TO AVOID DISAGREABLE SURPRISES IN YOUR SAFARIS.

We stayed at Lalibela private game reserve - tree tops. What a truly wonderful experience. From the second we arrived every member of staff was fantastic. We were welcomed with a welcome drink and shown around, i mean woah just woah the location was beautiful and the accommodation was better than expected (i was expecting alot). food and drinks were plentiful and very dietary accommodating. our tour guide was a lovely lady named sarah, who was basically an animal whisperer, she was so knowledgable and tried her hardest to find every animal we wished to see. Lailbela is full of animals and loads of babies !!! would recommend a thousand times over !!! thanks

Overall rating
5/5

It was an amazing experience, with an over-the-top amazing guide for the Kruger Park part of my trip! Not only big five with lots of action and multiple times, but also pangolin and other with extinction threatened species seen up-close! the guide was not only showing us the big five, but also all other species, including birds, lizards, snails, ... It was in one word amazing, the best way to do a first time a safari and definitely giving me an appetite for many more in the future!
