A unique and wonderful experience
Overall rating
5/5

Everything about my visit to Cape Town and Kapama Southern Camp was amazing. As a solo female traveller in my 70s I was warned to “be careful” but at no time did I feel anything other than welcome and safe. Sevin my guide at Kapama Southern Camp was spectacularly accurate in finding and tracking the game and has a wonderful understanding and empathy with his surroundings. The trip of a lifetime which I would recommend to anyone

The best vacation ever! It is worthy.

I booked a 4 days Safari with Safari With Us. All the process was online and easy. I went to the meeting point on the day and time scheduled and everything was set. The Kruger National Park is a must when going to South Africa. I recommend staying as much time as you can. The all browndry landscape (at this time of the year) helps to see further and enjoy wild encounters with many species. I was a solo traveler and enjoyed a lot.
The food was good and they are prepared for tourists, so not that many traditional kitchen. About security, you have to be aware of surroundings and your belongins but not overthink about it. I traveled safe and could enjoy day and night activities.

Also, the Apartheid Museum is incredible and deep experience. A lay over in JNB is a good option to visit it.

We want to de Lions Park and Leseedi Cultural Village. I don't recommend, but only because they are not natural, both are made for tourist. I prefer nature.

When we went on our very first game drive, we saw the Big 5!

Greenfire Game Lodge was absolutely immaculate and a great deal for the price! The food was amazing, the staff was all extremely nice, friendly, and helpful, and the game drives were unmatched!

We went to South Africa for our honeymoon, and we weren't disappointed! The safari portion of the trip was a clear highlight - so much so that we are already discussing coming back. The food and wine in both Cape Town and Franshoek were exceptional. The people incredibly welcoming and friendly everywhere we went. Highly recommend to everyone.

Pilanesberg is a safe area with beautiful landscape and a chance to see many animals during 3/4 days
Overall rating
4/5

Our combo Sun City / Pilanesberg was great. First two days at Sun City with the kids in this huge fun park and the Cascade Hostel delivered fantastic breakfasts. The family room was also perfect to check the activities of the kids in the other room. The wildlife park just at 20 minutes is true place for a safari with the big 5, with very few chance to see leopards, a shy animal. We recommended the Shephard's tree, well localised, great kitchen and professional guides here.

Stayed in Kambaku Safari Lodge, Timbavati Private Game Reserve then Arathusa in the Sabi Sands, spending 3 nights in each resulting in 6 game drives at both reserves. Lots of wildlife viewing, excellent guides, staff, food and accommodation at both lodges. Highly recommend both lodges. Panoramic route from Sabi Sands to Oliver’s Hill was also excellent.
We then went to Muchenje Safari Lodge, Botswana.
Our trip was organised by Michelle from Explore & Travel Africa who was very good with advice on all aspects of our trip and everything was well organised.
