South Africa Wildlife Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 141 customer reviews
Amazing Sights and Wildlife Encounters
4 - Very Good
  • Mikaela Elizabeth Dibble-Kahn
“This trip was full of amazing people, places and of course wildlife. There are a lot of early mornings and long days of driving and it can be exhausting setting up and breaking down camp almost everyday, but I you want to see a lot of countries and places that you wouldn't usually be able to reach and you have a limited amount of time, then this tour is great. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable during this trip and made a lot of other traveling nomad friends during this adventure that I plan to travel with in the future. They were also very good at providing vegan food for every meal for those of us who requested it. My favorite part was the Serengeti, absolutely unreal some of the encounters we had.”
Superb, fun-filled trip with lots of variety
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This trip covers a lot of ground! I can't believe how much we managed to do in just two weeks, and needed my photos and videos to remind me. The accommodation was of an exceptionally high standard and we slept very well everywhere. Our own guides were brilliant, and the external guides at various locations were excellent and very knowledgeable about their specialist areas.”
Wonderful road-trip into the heart of Africa
5 - Excellent
  • Michael Frank
“One of the many highlights is certainly the trip to the Okavango Delta with two nights in the middle of nowhere, an absolute lifetime experience. Overall, the tour is a very varied program to get to know the country, the lovely people and the nature.”

  • Respect the wildlife by maintaining a respectful distance from animals in locations like Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. Remember to follow the park rules and prioritize ethical interactions to ensure an enjoyable wildlife tour.
