The review below is the personal opinion of Mark and not that of SafariBookings.
Tour didn't quite meet the decription we were originally quoted for.
3/5

The tour was expensive for what it was. The lodge just outside the park was in an excellent location but it was run down. Rooms and the bathroom weren't really clean. The restaurant food wasn't good quality.
Norman - who drove us from the airport also drove us on the first game drive as no professional guide was available. It's not as good an experience in a car and certainly not what we paid for. Kruger National Park is excellent of course and delivered the big 5 for us! Overall a mediocre tour operator who charges a lot. We realise now that we could have done the tour ourselves without using a tour operator for less than half the price.

There were a professional in all aspects: punctual, courteous and responsive to questions.
5/5

Communication was prompt and accurate, Norman the driver and tour operator was excellent, a good driver and communicator, courteous and respectful,

The tour in Kruger was as expected (cold at this time of year, dress warm), many animals and sightings. Kruger Gate is a great resort, meals and service excellent.

The tour was good value.

Friendly and safe!
5/5

We had a great time in Kruger Park with Lucky (our guide from Nhlalala). The service was beyond what we expected! We had a limited time before I travelled for work in South Africa and Lucky helped us to get the most out of it. It started with timely pick up from our hotel in Johannesburg and a few hour drive to Perry's Bridge, where we were staying. The hotel was amazing, the staff was welcoming and the room is just so comfortable. A treat after a long journey!

We went on a sunset game drive to give us a feel of what to expect. We got to see a few animals then but the highlight would definitely be our game drive the next day. We were lucky to have the whole vehicle for ourselves and were looked after so well throughout the day. The hotel packed our breakfast (because we started at 5.30am!) and we get to enjoy it in the park. We got to see all the big 5 that day!

However, my husband became unwell after the game drive and we had to cancel our panoramic route drive on the way back to Johannesburg. The hotel staff and Lucky were so caring and understanding. They look after us until the time to get our last minute flight from the local airport. I definitely recommend the team. If I ever end up in South Africa again (high likely!), I hope we get a redo on the panoramic route.
