Can really recommend the Panorama Route, Oliver's Boutique Hotel, Elephant Whispers, Seronera Croc Farm & the very nice Simbavati Waterside Lodge for Parents with Teens, as they have a Villa with 2 Bedrooms, excellent personal service and cool game drives.

An absolutely superb experience at an affordable price! I’d like to extend my thanks to Zelda from Mzansi for her excellent guidance and assistance in planning our trip. Victor, our driver from Safari Link, was incredibly informative and ensured we had a smooth and memorable road trip from OR Tambo Airport to Kruger National Park. The accommodation at Kruger Adventure Lodge was top-notch, with delicious food and a fantastic team of staff! We booked a 5-day Kruger Safari, and each day brought unforgettable moments. Despite the weather, we were fortunate enough to see all the Big Five and even the 'Ugly Five,' thanks to our experienced rangers. I highly recommend this amazing team for anyone looking to experience the magic of Kruger National Park!

A bucket list trip!
Overall rating
5/5

Flew into Joberg and took a transfer(by van) to greater Kruger. Saw everything we wanted to, and more!! It’s spring there so although it was brown, it made it easier to see the animals. Cool at night, warm during the day.
Safari for 6 nights 7 days was more than enough. I would recommend maybe only 4-5 nights max. We didn’t spend anytime in Joberg due to safety recommendations. Then flew to Cape Town. Spent 5 nights there. Beautiful city, great hiking, wine country close, lots to do!
It does get a bit sketch at night so try and see everything during the daylight hours. Time of year we went was perfect. Not too hot or cold. Layers were good.

One of the most diverse beautiful countries I have ever visited
Overall rating
5/5

The scenery is out of this world , from the beautiful beaches, Table Mountain, Botanical gardens, Boulders beach, Wine country, garden route, Safari in Kruger. each experience was unique and highly recommended. Cape Town itself was a very cosmopolitan area with some of the best restaurants and food I have tasted.
On top of all of this you get so much more for your money! We will be back!

A wonderful country of contrasts and lovely people.
Overall rating
5/5

South Africa truly is a world in one country. The people are so hospitable and the food is wonderful and extremely generous. The wildlife has to be seen to be believed lions walking right by your jeep. Baby elephants being highly inquisitive. Life is very different when you get up at 5.00 am but you soon adapt. The weather in October was quite hot but we also experienced two phenomenal thunderstorms in the evening - spectacular. I can’t wait to go back for our fifth visit.

Overall rating
5/5

My partner and I, along with 30+ other guests (wedding celebrations) booked a 2 night safari trip which was coordinated by Moafrika Tours. Everything was well organised and communicated well. We stayed at the Ivory Tree Lodge which was beautiful. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 almost every safari trip we took. It was great value for money- safaris, transport (which they adjusted timings in accordance with our flights), accomodation and all meals (delicious) included! Everyone had a fantastic time and some people are planning on returning too

Our safari in South Africa was informative, and rewarding, all rolled into one fantastic trip.
Overall rating
5/5

Wild Planet Safari was our choice for the private, 9-day tour, which included a Panoramic scenic drive and 2 game drives per day. The animal viewing was spectacular. The Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center offered some animal viewing surprises and an informative education on the survival challenges for African wildlife. There were many opportunities for picking up that special momento of our trip at the lodges, town visits, or parking lot venues. While our group was over the age of 60. I recommend this trip to anyone who loves the outdoors, animals, and meeting people. And yes, bring the family.

Amazing and beautiful country! One sentence could never capture all it has to offer ❤️
Overall rating
5/5

We were a group of 7. Our journey began with a 5 night safari through Khalanga Tours. Our guide, Shoes, was incredible. We went on a river cruise, and stayed in various campsites. This allowed us to experience the various landscaping, and thrill of seeing the big 5, and then some, in their natural habitat. We then travelled to Cape Town. A huge and diverse Metropolis, rich in history and culture. From there we booked wine tours, a walking “Taste of Africa”, where we experienced the foods from various African countries. We travelled to Cape of Good Hope and Simons town. Saw the penguin colony. With each tour we booked, the guides were knowledgeable, and eager to share the history and current progress of South Africa, the good and the bad. The landscape is breathtaking! The people are kind and friendly. I would highly recommend visiting South Africa. I fell in love with it ❤️
