Best week of my life!
Overall rating
5/5

Booked a 7 days safari by Kruger Park Tours during SafariBookings. They simply gave me my best experience ever. They were very welcoming, warm and professional. Stayed in a Chalet with a/c, shower and a small outdoor kitchenette with a full size fridge/freezer. Two game drives each day and a morning bush walk and a Panorama Tour (both incl. on safari more than 5 days). Great brunch and dinner every day i the tent Camp. Big 5 already on the 3. day but still lots of great experience every day. Lots of info and great stories. Camp located in Skukuza Rest Camp with two pools, great shop, a take away cafeteria and a great restaurant with a patio towards the Sabie River and a WiFi hotspot. My best week ever and I realy hope to come back someday.

Overall rating
5/5

The wildlife was fantastic ....never imagined we would see so many animals ...the scenery was interesting and varied

The weather was perfect for our trip ......our accommodation was more that what we expected clean comfortable and the food was exceptional ...

Transportation was very good and comfortable considering the terrain we travelled ....

The guides were helpful and very informative until the time for us to leave and they made it clear they were not happy with what we had tipped ...as the didn’t speak or assist us with our luggage from that point on ..other than that we had an amazing time and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone .....

We booked a 3 day safari at Black Rhino Lodge through Traipsing Africa and had the most amazing time. The lodge itself is beautiful, the rooms are huge! And so nicely decorated. We are far too much food while we were there but it was all so good it was hard to refuse! The restaurant has a deck overlooking a waterhole so we were able to watch the wildlife as we ate. The game drives were wonderful, our guide was very knowledgeable and had this amazing ability to spot wildlife from miles off! We loved every minute of it, would recommend to anyone.

From beginning to end, this safari was perfect. Incredibly knowledgable guide who went over and beyond for us. The big five all in 1 morning, wow!! You will not find a more organised and helpful safari team, who offer real value for money coupled with luxury and wildlife drama. We would book again in a shot. Don't live your life without the majesty of a wild life safari, life is far to short. A heartfelt thank you to all of the safari team, especially to our fantastic guide 'Hoppy". We will be back!!

We travelled with Kiboko out of Cape Town and out of a 1 to 10 we give it an 11. Our guide Dumi made all the difference. Knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip including cultural and historic info, animals, birds and took the time to share his life in Zimbabwe, his experiences and never rushed us. Dealing with an older group his patience was exceptional. Dealing with the head office was great; their backups in place in case of breakdowns as explained made us all feet safe and comfortable. So if we do this again it would certainly be with Kiboko.

Secondly our Africa on Foot was just as exciting and the guides were great. Only the accommodations let it down a notch. The staff and food was great and we would highly recommend this as a short time safari.

I would describe my safari experience as being magical.
Overall rating
5/5

I did a 4 day safari with 2 friends and we had an unbelievable time. It surpassed the expectations we had as far as the comfort of our housing and variety of wildlife. I couldn't believe the moments where we were surrounded by herds of elephants and water buffalo. There wasn't 1 safari trip we went on that we didn't come across wildlife. From comparing my safari experience to friends/family I've known who have done them it appears the Manyeleti reserve is hard to beat in terms of what we came across. I might have been most impressed with our guide as his knowledge of the land and animal behavior was impressive and I completely trusted him with my safety being out in the wilderness. All of the staff, food and accommodations were also amazing! Highly recommend this safari!

Mandatory stop in South Africa
Overall rating
5/5

Even being on the start of a pandemic, South Africa was surprising.
We could enjoy Botanic Park, Beach, Cape Point and of course a Safari.
The citizens are so receptive.
Our guide to Aquila Reserve was Andre of Gem, and he was fantantic.
