Amazing trip
Overall rating
5/5

We are truly devastated that we have had to return to the UK.
Our stay at Greenfire lodge was absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to return. Everything from the collect at Johannesburg Airport to our return was 100%. Lavender at moafrika tours took our booking and from.the beginning I felt confident in the company.

It was the most stunning beautiful trip and our first Safari but not the last for sure. We dreamt the eyes wide open.
Thank you a million for all your assistance and advises.
Looking for the next safari in Botswana maybe this time.

The best of all Worlds
Overall rating
5/5

Visiting SA for the first time, we didn't have any expectations, but what an amazing experience we were in for. Every day was a new adventure for us, and had us in awe each time.

Cape Town, was a dream, picturesque in every corner. Cuddled by the mountains on one side and an untouched Atlantic ocean on the other.
It was such an amazing chilled vibe, allowing you take life a little slow and soak it all in.
A little drive to Kalk Bay (colorful sea side town filled with cute little shops and boutique restaurants) to see some African Penguins in their natural habitat, via the beautiful Chapmans Peak, with a view of the South Atlantic ocean.
Be prepared for all weather conditions.

Rigter after we flew over to Johannesburg and opted for the 5 day Kruger Park Safari, and we were defnitley not disappointed.
Kruger National Park showed off in the best way posisble, giving us a view of the BIG 5 everyday but all in different settings.
We were blessed with our guide, Hoppy. His knowledge of the park was incredible, spotting the big 5 and alot of other animals, that the naked eye would have missed. Kruger National Park has some beautiful birds (normally overlooked by people only looking for the big 5), but he would point out their beautiful colors and sounds, and we would just get immersed.
He made sure that we had all our meals and stayed in some amazing properties, the first with a view of the hippos just chilling as they normally would, literally 15m away, and where elephants would come to graze as well.
We did a sunset tour while we stayed within the reserve at Satara, where we were literally a foot away from a Lion, just taking a nap, which would later come to have a sip of water just by the reserve.

On the way back, Hoppy took us along the Panorama Route, which is a whole other world of beautiful mountain ranges and lakes and colorful townships.

Thanks to Hoppy, we saw and learned so much more, and he gave us the time to just sometimes sit and enjoy it for awhile.

We loved our recent trip and had an unforgettable holiday.
There is a lot to do between historic options, safari, wine regions, hikes, animal opportunities eg. penguins or sharks.
We had quite an adventurous holiday and loved exploring South Africa.

We had a trip on a lifetime in South Africa - visiting the Malelane Gate area of Kruger National Park which was organised by Mmilo Tours. The weather was beautiful and hot, we saw all of the big five, wonderful hospitable service everywhere. Very safe in Kruger area and on Panorama Tour.

Close to Nature with the raw amazing beauty
Overall rating
5/5

It’s my first visit to S. Africa, which was never been on my list for travel. I took my transfer to Cape Town on arrival at Johannesburg. I spent 5 days in Cape Town where is a place with mixed good & bad vibes. Be alert on the safety protection as a tourist, never allow yourself be alone walking on the street at night. Go for tourists places for entertainment & food, such as the Camps Bay, V & A Harbour Front…..enjoy getting along with ppl . Be sure you are picked up n sent back to hotel with car. Taking all these precautions, you will be sure enjoying much at Cape Town. The prices here are low for everything. Hiring a taxi or Uber to go for Table mountain, Signal Hill, further south to Cape of Good Hope via the Chapman’s Drive which gives you a amazing view of the South Atlantic Ocean. Just a few days here is too short to get the best of the Town.
I went back to Johannesburg for the start of my 5 days Safaris tour. I was lucky enough to have an experienced guide, Derrick , to show me all Big Five animals in the Safari. It’s a thrilling experience of the hunting Game drive. It’s a must do in one’s life.
In the wild Greater Kruger park, the nature is calm; the air is fresh; the Sunset scenery is stunning . I’ll never forget the Safaris in S. Africa.

Wonderful trip to Pilanesberg National Park and Backubang Lodge. Despite the poor weather at times we managed to see a great range of wildlife with knowledgeable Rangers and drivers. Sunny, the driver to Pilanesberg and the afternoon safari was particularly interesting and entertaining.

I had a wonderful 4 days safari where I was blessed with meeting 4 out the big 5. Some of them multiple times. This is because of the fantastic guides who walks an extra mile to give you memorable moments. Can highly recommend.
