Real Tent experience for LIFE !
After traveling through South Africa with 53 senior Black ladies, 2 lodges, 4 hotels for 2 weeks! (very enjoyable), I had to do my solo South African exploration. I had choose Mzansi while in NY, knowing nothing about lodge living, I just WANTED A TENT! The entire EXPERIENCE from the pick up at in hannesburg to the flight back to Johannesburg was an adventure I hope to repeat until I'm bounded! I'm so proud of my self for choosing Mzansi! Everything went smoothly! The five hour drive to Kruger's National Park gave me time to rest, reflect, catch up and purchase a authentic zebra skin from one of shops 2 stops during the ride. Most of all the ride introduced me to the vast South African Landscape. The lodge was goregously junglelfied decor from the lodge to the 24 hour pool( bring your own towel). Breakfast and dinner is included,(steak was delicious). You choose the number of nights/safaris and sleeping quarters. The tents surpassed my expectations, it was roomy, air conditioned, hot shower and bathroom had plenty of suitcase space, coffee maker and maid service. Enjoyed all of it, I decided to fly back to Johannesburg 30 min fly. airport 45 min from lodge. drive was arranged by the lodge. next trip it will be a round trip flight! NEXT TIME - THE TENT AGAIN!

Excellent experience!
Incredible experience. Everything was practical and very well organized. Our biggest fear was the language because we don't speak English very well, but we received very efficient service, with all the information explained in a straightforward way, from booking the package to the safari itself. Everyone was amazing: the staff, the guides, the drivers, and the hotel employees. Our experience couldn't have been better. I highly recommend it!!!!!

Professional, great value for money and capture the spirit of SA.
We booked the Safari 4-day package from Switzerland and the process was easy and secure. We were picked up from the airport at the indicated time as well as the schedule we received upon arrival at the Lodge. We were only there for 4 days, but with it we had 2 days of safaris plus a day visiting the panorama route. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff were amazing! We were dropped off at the airport at the end of our trip and the driver even offered to drop everyone off at their hotel for ease of comfort. Recommend to anyone!

Delivered on the experience and made it memorable!
The Mzansi Experience was just that...an experience to enjoy. It included a 4-Day Okavango Delta & Boteti River Tented Safari package. On Day 1, arrival, we were to embark on a 2-hour sunset Mokoro canoe safari, but dry weather conditions have the Boteti river dry. Instead, they arranged for us to visit a nearby local village and become familiar with local villagers and customs, etc. However, upon arriving at the village, gates were closed and most had gone into a nearby town. Our driver/guide (Kay) was most resourceful as he located an elder lady who was happy to talk to us. Chairs were set out in a circle on village grounds, as she began to talk, other male elders joined, as did some children who sat on the sandy ground. Great afternoon. Day 2 involved a ride on a Makoro canoe up the Okavango river, which allowed us to glide through the river, seeing hippos, elephants and more. Day 3 was a Game Drive on a 4x4 open air vehicle to Moremi/Khwai Reserve, which is in the northern fringe of Okavango Delta. Saw a multitude of animals, including lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, etc. Day 4 was relaxation and headed out. Boteti Tented chalets were comfortable, food in small restaurant was always served to us at 7pm, firepit was nearby. Staff at Boteti Tented Chalets were all very polite and accommodating. We met 2 other couples from Australia that joined us on this 3-4 Day adventure, which made the experience even more memorable.

Everything perfect
We came to SA in June 2024, we went to Kruger Park from Johannesburg.
The trip was nice, perfect driver. The lodge (Kruger Adventure Lodge) was nice, great safari on the afternoon and incredible the day after.
Nice dinners at the lodge, unfortunately it was too cold to have a bath in the swimming pool.
Top experience anyway, also for our kids (6 and 3 years old), they enjoyed it so much.

True astonishing wildlife experience, everything we could dream of, and more.
A truly unique experience. We booked 3 nights in the Moremi Game Reserve. The journey began the evening before the scheduled departure with a meeting with our guide, David. We discussed the itinerary for the next day, and he explained the organization of the trip, providing useful advice for life in the bush. We immediately became friends with him.
The next morning at the agreed-upon time (7 am), he picked us up at the lodge in Maun with the fantastic Toyota Land Cruiser, which never let us down, and the safari began:
Day 1: A mokoro ride on the Boteti River and a transfer inside the Moremi Game Reserve (with camping at South Gate) with an afternoon game drive.
Days 2 and 3: Full-day game drives with breathtaking sightings and photographs at the level of National Geographic, if not better.
Day 4: The last morning game drive to bid farewell to the wonderful reserve and return to Maun.
The team consisted of:
* David, the guide, probably the best guide in Botswana, well-versed in all the park's fauna and flora, tireless in driving and providing explanations and stories, a deep connoisseur of the Moremi Game Reserve and all its trails. He speaks impeccable English, always making himself understood, and was super helpful and very friendly.
* Gladis, the young cook, a true talent in the kitchen. Whether it was dinners in the field or packed lunches, she always delighted us with typical Botswana dishes. After 12 hours in the savannah, it's important to eat well and plenty.
* Mt, assistant cook, and handyman, always with a smile on his face, kind, helpful, service-oriented, friendly, and always ready to make us laugh in the evenings after the game drives with his jokes.
* Moses, the assistant guide, David's right-hand man in the bush, always attentive to spotting any animal and also a great connoisseur of the savannah habitat.
And it's mal d’Afrique right away. We can't wait to go back, not only for the fantastic animals we saw (see the photos) but also for the wonderful people who accompanied and guided us in this unique experience. Thank you very much, and see you soon!!!

Kurula Lodge
The tour provided everything as promised, and a lot more. Communication was to the point and accurate. The accommodation and service received, were excellent. The safari tours, morning and afternoons, were very informative. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to teach us as much as possible and taking us as close as he could, to the animals
