I'd be happy to provide you with feedback about our tour. We, four adults from the United States, spent four weeks in South Africa. The first five days we spent in Kruger Park. We spent two nights in rest camps and two nights in a private reserve all arranged by the tour operator after consulting with us. We were especially pleased with how flexible they were in scheduling the trip. We made several changes and also benefited from some excellent scheduling advice from them.
Pierre,our guide, was great. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, their behavior, and especially good at spotting them. Without him, we would have seen much less than what we did.
To our surprise, Pierre was also a good cook, treating us to local fare such as wart hog, South African wines, and biltong (my favorite)! His pleasant and relaxed personality made for a wonderful beginning to our four-week stay in South Africa. We were so pleased with his services, that we went an additional day with him as our guide to Hluhluwe Imfolozi.
We could not have asked for a better start to our vacation, and all of us agree that the best part of our trip was this safari.

Comment:
We have toured this area before many years ago, and also been to Kruger Park before, so we had a good idea what to expect. Our expectations were well exceeded. We can't imagine it could have been better prepared.
Accommodation at Mogodi Lodge near Hazyview, and Skukuza and Pretoriaskop in Kruger were all excellent. Our tour of the Mpumalanga region, accompanied by Pierre's knowledge of the geography and history was excellent, and our last visit before going into Kruger Park to a Shangani village gave us a very real taste of Africa.
We are totally convinced Pierre has a special game spotting radar hidden somewhere, which works as far as we could see, and sometimes even where we couldn't see…! His knowledge of the animals and birds and his infectious passion for it all was a total pleasure. We managed to see four of the big five, plus lots lots more.
There was quite obviously lots of thought given to the special needs of our family, (one diabetic; one allergic to eggs and nuts and one worm eater…ask Pierre…) We enjoyed a very clever mix of good restaurants and braais and a chance to try different things as well as the lovely wines and steaks that you could easily start to take for granted.
We would give this company full marks in all areas.
