“Ulrich was fantastic, making everyone comfortable by being super friendly, clear and informative. The safaris were fab and we saw so much. Food at the backpackers was amazing.”
Two days from Cape Town to the Garden Route with Big Five drives, Cape Agulhas, Hermanus whales, and penguins.
“Frank was our driver/host - which picked us up at the hotel. He was more than a driver, he was attentive, helpful, informative, and patient. Our ride from Cape Town to Garden Route Game Lodge was very nice! We were able to stop for breakfast (The Restio - Amazing cappuccino and almond croissant) and breaks as needed. The stop in Agulhas - "The Actual Southernmost Tip of African mainland (and) Where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans Meet." If you ever get the opportunity to do this 2 day safari, ask for Frank as your driver. Once we arrived at Garden Route Game Lodge, the check-in was seemless, as well as…”

“Mye for pengene! Nydelig sted og veldig god mat!”
Cape Town safari in 2 days: 4x4 game drives, luxury tented lodge in Oudtshoorn, optional elephant observation, Route 62 road trip.
“Résultat mitigé. Dylan, le guide était top. Je le recommande vivement. Le programme est intense sur les 2 jours avec de longs trajets de 6h. Mais vous n’avez pas le choix si vous venez de Captown. Les van ne sont pas confortables. Concernant les 2 safari, cela me paraissait plus être un grand zoo sans enclos plutôt qu’un safari. J’ai moins apprécié le 1er safari Bufflesdrift car plus petit et beaucoups moins d’animaux. En revanche les lodges surplace et l’environnement étaient magnifiques. Il n’y avait pas de lions dans les 2 réserves. Suppléments éléphant cher, mais sympa car nous avons pu les approcher de très près et de les toucher.…”

2-day luxury Pilanesberg safari from Johannesburg with Big Five drives, a 4-star lodge night, and resort-style downtime.
“We’re in our early 30s and had some trepidation about whether Pilanesberg would live up to the Kruger experience. With limited time and not keen on a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, we opted for Pilanesberg, just two hours away—and we’Read more”

Two Big Five game drives with sunrise timing, plus an overnight in Hazy View from Johannesburg, for a value-focused Kruger getaway.
“Wonderful visit. Transported by car to the park. Stayed at 4-star hotel and then taken immediately on safari. Patrick was diligent about helping us find all the animals we wanted to see. It was low key and exactly what we were looking for. Ben showed us a special reserve off a pit stop on the way back.”
Private overnight safari from Cape Town with Botlierskop and Buffelsdrift game drives, plus a scenic Route 62 return.
“This was the most amazing trip - chosen for maximum flexibility, we opted for a private tour of two game reserves. Our guide, Andre, was outstanding: he was informative, super well organized, took care of everything, attent to every detail. The two game reserves we visited, BRead more”
Two-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg with sunset and pre-dawn game drives, glamping inside the park, plus dinner and breakfast included.
“Acampamento de alto padrão, tenda com cama confortável, tomada e abajur. Equipe muito amigável, nosso motorista Muzi tem ótimo astral e bom humor. Nossos guias no Safari tem muitas informações (indicado para quem fala inglês) e realmente se esforçam para procurar os animais. O café da manhã e jantar oferecidos estavam deliciosos. Ponto de melhora: o trajeto do aeroporto até Nelspruit leva 4h e não é feito de ônibus, e sim em uma micro-van com pouco espaço.”
Two days in Addo: safari drives for Big Five odds, an included Sundays River cruise, plus a giraffe tracking walk.
“We saw almost all of the animals in the park the first day, giraffe walk the following day was fantastic! Overnight accommodations were superb and all guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!”
