We visited Kruger National Park in August 2011, and were very pleased with the level of service and friendliness of all the staff at the Lodge.
We were fortunate enough to see all 5 of the famed “BIG ONES”.
We have recommended this Safari to many of our friends.

The Safari was amazing, a life changing trip.
We saw the big 5 close up on the first day and we were provided with guided tours on foot that allowed us to have a detailed look at the 'small things' too. Our accommodation and the service we recieved was first class. The staff made every effort to ensure that we enjoyed our trip.
We hope to be back again soon!

I recently completed 4 day Kruger adventure - Call of the Wild Safari when I was in South Africa.It was a great experience and enjoyed a lot. Since my childhood I was dreamt of going for this kind of safari and it was like dream come true.
The safari provided all the nescessary requiremnt, help and cooperation. I was comfertable throuhgout my safari period and it was great experience.
The arrangement was good, vehicle was in perfect condition, guide-cum driver was very cooperative and informative and infact because of him we could see rare animals like sable antelope, three prides of lion, servel, eland etc, etc.
Night stay in camps was excellant with very tasty dinner and breakfast. We could able to cover the most of the area and see lots of animals.
I am very satisfied. As per my requirement accommodation and transport was made in Johannesburg.
I am looking forward to have such safaris again in near future. Thank you very much

Great Safari from start to finish and we were lucky enough to see nearly everything over the four days including lions 4 times!
The bush walk really was awesome and it was amazing to be walking about with Lions looking at us, though we felt really safe with the guides.
The Transfers, Guides , Accommodation and food were all spot on an great value for money.
I will be back even though I live in far away Scotland!
It really was a brilliant trip and so much was squeezed into our trip.

Thanks for all your help,
The trip to Kruger was FANTASTIC, a real trip of a lifetime condensed into 4 days. We were treated as special, and saw so much of that small part of South Africa, especially the wildlife. THANK YOU
One piece of advice was that as this was a luxury all included package, and that this included bedding, in winter I'd advise more of it (or more blankets to be available). We were cold (as the temperature in the tent dropped to 3 oC at night maybe this was not to surprising) however when we asked if an extra blanket was possible we were informed that only the bedding needed for the guests present was available and that there was no extras - night 2 was not as cold (4oC) but neither was it warm.
Thank you once again

Just a big thank you to the great Safari thatthis operator provided this month for me.
It exceeded all my expectations, more so because of the service which was excellant and the overall experience. I would highly reccomend this Safari Company as I believe the planning and delivery was above and beyond what I had expected, not only the price but the hands on approach which I will remember for a long time. I think though credit is due to the excellant guide Andre , who was fun, experienced and also a good cook.
I am in the service industry myself, so I do see the difference between just okay and great. I would be happy to allow you the use this response as I truly believe it was THE African experience.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating and fun to be with. She cared about her clients and obviously focussed on us getting as much as possible from the tour.
The pace of travel for the 4 days was good, we saw countless numbers of animals and birds and because of the weather, mist and fog in the early mornings, she re-arranged the route so that we wouldn't miss anything.
The vehicle was comfortable and the meals were fine. The only down-side was the very thin mattresses provided by them. I have never seen such flimsy mattresses before. Fortunately for us, we were only 4 on tour and so we were able to use 2 mattresses each.

We had a great Safari tour
In the last week of November 2004, we, a family group of 6 adults, went for a 4 days safari tour, together with a couple from Sweden and a guy from England. We all had a great experience, and afterwards we can't say which part was the best. Was it the evening in the original African village, where we eat a meal, which were cooked over a fire or was it talking and dancing with the local guy, Given? Was it the night tour in Kruger Park where we saw the animals at night, or the walking tour, with two armed guides, where we saw tree white rhinos? Or was it the last day in the park, when we had given up all hope to see lions - and there they lay in the side of the road - two males and a female?
It is hard to say, but our guide on the trip, Dion, made our holiday complete. He arranged everything for us, so that we could spend most time locating the animals. He bought and prepared the food and made all the arrangement for the tour - and if it hasn't been for him, we would have missed a lot of animals, because he spotted them long before us.

“Call of the Wild” (The Real Kruger Experience!)
Day 1 - Southern Kruger Park - South Africa We depart Johannesburg], the city of Gold and head off on an adventure of a lifetime. A truly unique African experience unfolds as we enter the Kruger Park via one of the Southern gates. The Park is home to 150 species of mammal, including Africa’s famed Big Five. The staggering 507bird species, plus the wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians make this the ultimate wildlife experience. We board open safari vehicles and enjoy our first exciting game drive en-route to our camp, taking in the sheer beauty of the African bush along the way. After settling into camp, we enjoy a bushveld dinner around the campfire before venturing out into the bush as we track the creatures of the night on a late evening game drive. (D)

Our game drive takes us to some of the best game drive routes within the Kruger Park, giving us the opportunity to view the varied landscapes, ecosystems and abundant wildlife. The entire day is spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off at the various waterholes en-route to our Northern camp. We arrive in time to freshen up before we head out on a Big 5 Game Walk or a Big Five Cycling Safari through the Kruger Park. These activities are accompanied by armed Kruger Park Rangers and give us the opportunity to experience the real Kruger.
