Loved the tree house
4/5

Safari was very good, guides for both, night drive and kruger, were great, well prepared and very nice.
The treehouse was perfect.
Andre from Safari with us was very helpful and available to answer really fast all questions.
It was a pleasure.

Where wild animals play the leading role
4/5

The six days in and around the Kruger Park were unique. The transfers were well organized and I felt very comfortable in both lodges (Tremisana and Marc's Tree House). In Tremisana I could observe warthogs and baboons just from my veranda, Marc’s Tree houses are very nicely located along a river and on the way from the main house to the tree house you surely meet some nyalas. Both lodges are well managed and very personable. The game drives were, of course, the highlights of each tour. I was often lucky enough to observe (and photograph) many wild animals in their natural environment such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, black and white rhinos, impalas, kudus and one leopard. For the cheetahs I have to return. The bushwalks were interesting and informative. All guides I met were enthusiastic about their job and educated us a lot of interesting things during both the game drives and bushwalks.

“Kruger Luxury Safari”

“We booked a luxury Kruger Park safari through Safari With Us and we were very satisfied with the way they handled the booking and related payments. any queries were quickly addressed
We had a really good if not exhausting time and had some good sightings. Pondoro Lodge is beautiful we absolutely loved it and can highly recommend. Nice food and lots of it and really helpful staff. Great views over the river.
However the drive to Kruger was much muchlonger than expected. We were the first to be picked up and there were many other pick-ups on the way out. If we did this again we will fly. Our overall safari experience was lovely
On arrival on the first night we had to ask for a room to freshen up in as we were luxury guests and not staying at the place we had the night safari at. the staff were really helpful however.

Our bush walk was very short, 45 minutes stroll around the river and we were a little disappointed. Thank you Andre for all your help

Inflexible. We were not able to see the lions and I was another game drive
3/5

1. We were not able to see the lions and I was expecting that they will make another effort by giving us another game drive so that we have a complete experience but no effort was made
2. I made a request to change my drop location to my hotel instead of airport but it wasn't approved.
3. It was football world cup final that evening & the taxi was late by 1 hr. As a result I missed the world cup final.

You're better off booking a better lodge and self driving, food is very poor.
2/5

Pros: they delivered on everything we agreed on, one driver (Alec) was fantastic, lodge room was nice and big although animals live in it's ceiling.

Cons: 1 hour late airport pickup, drinks not included and they ask for tips on them, some drivers are lazy (no we don't need 2 hours worth of breaks during a full day game drive), lodge needs more maintenance (especially the pools), food is very very basic, barely edible.

Even if it's one of the cheapest pre-made safari options, it still felt way overpriced for what you get.

No good sighting of Leopard and Lions during our visit, sadly had to cancel our Panorama route tour because of this. So we really missed on both.

My recommendation is that you pick a better lodge (closer and with better food) and self drive, you'll see animals anyways.

Not very friendly or understanding at all.....
1/5

I was quoted an absolutely ridiculous price, more than half than the reserves website actually stated, no difference between adult and child, and did not in slightest try and accommodate me or better the price, an absolute rip off they are....

We regret that you had a bad experience with the quote process. Unfortunately when looking at only the quoted price of a lodges game drive prices and then regarding our quoted price to be higher you should please consider that there is some hidden costs like the entrance fees and conservation levies, professional liability insurance while on the activity and staff fees that handle your enquiry as well as banking fees to process payments ext.
We try and have very competitive pricing and cut all margins to make it affordable to our clients and on most safaris it is absorbed, as you only wanted one game drive and wanted to drive there yourself we suggested that you book with the lodge directly as it would cut out the above expenses and regret that you feel that we did not try and accommodate you with a better price. We hope that providing you with the lodges direct details to book the gamedrive directly helped you make it more affordable and that you will have a wonderful experience.
