Fantastic Experience
Overall rating
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day safari in Sabi Sands. Beautiful lodges, fantastic staff and of course seeing all of the animals, the Big 5 and so many more! This was a bucket list trip for my partner who will be turning 70 and it couldn't have been any more perfect.

Once in a lifetime experience
Overall rating
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We did a 5 day safari trip 2 days in Kruger and 3 nights on a private reserve at Umkumbe. Both were great. We stayed at Sabie River Bush lodge for the first 2 nights as a base for Kruger and although a little rougher around the edges, it's right on the river with a herd of hippos right at your doorstep. We were lucky enough to see them come right to the fence along with a herd of elephants. That made it all worthwhile. We saw lots of animals inside Kruger including cheetas up close, which are apparently rare to see. Umkumbe was much more upmarket and I recommend getting one of their luxury tents. The focus here was all about trying to spot a leopard, which sadly we didn't but we saw some rhinos, hyenas, lions and ostriches. I recommend both going into Kruger and doing a private game reserve as they're two totally different experiences. Brendon from Elephant Herd was really accommodating and didn't mind me emailing him with questions while we were travelling. I would also recommend flying to and from Johannesburg as the bus drive out was quite long.

Wonderful wildlife

My advice: combine a stay in a private game reserve, where drivers can go off road, and the Kruger Park, with its gorgeous wildlife.

South Africa was the ultimate holiday destination and gave us the most perfect safari experience. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in a private park in Greater Kruger and loved every second of our trip. We visited the Three Rondavels and did a boat trip on the Blyde River which I would also recommend.

So different but so amazing
Overall rating
4/5

We loved our safari. With only 6 days we got the big 5 ! Our guide was really helpfull and always here to tell us the reality of this nature and secrets about it. With only a Half day of rain, the weather was great ! If you love birds you will be served with the quantity of them, they are always here even when you don’t expect them and they are so beautifull with their flamboyant colours like Rollers or Flycatchers which there are many of them. Lodgments are good and fit with your activities you could do all day. We were super lucky since we got a great guide, Shoes who is the Khalanga Safaris boss. He got a lot of experience and tell you everything about animals and he is always here to answer your questions…
