The holiday was everything we expected and more! The food, the friendliness & happy attitude made us feel so welcome. Thanks Tish. The holiday was well organised and we loved all the drives & tales Juan had. Many thanks.

This trip surpasses ALL our expectations. Juan took us everywhere and made us feel very welcome. The animal calls were appreciated along with his many jokes. We had a great time and when we returned from our trips we were always greeted with smiles from Tish & Scott and the good food they produce even though the boys were quite “fussy”. Thank you from all of us.

John & Andrew, Hook, England

This truly was a magnificent “nature” experience. Africa as everyone should know it Thank you Juan, André, Maxwell, Simon & Roxy - Alain

This was a fantastic experience. It was a rare privilege to see wild animals at such close quarters. The highlight must be when the elephant came to give us an early morning wake up call! There are also so many other memorable moments that will live with us. We would like to thank the whole team for making this possible – Frank for his expert knowledge and taking us to the right places, Scott for keeping us fed with his excellent food and Roxy & Simon for keeping the camp in order. A real holiday that we will never forget. Thanks for everything.

Trevor & Georgina Rutherford, Denton, England

An immensely enjoyable four days! The courtesy, helpfulness & friendliness of the staff was surpassed only by the incredible privilege of having viewed so many animals at such close quarters and in their natural environment. The culinary skills of Tish & Scotty were superb as were those of the boys (Roxy & Simon) in keeping the camp ticking over. Juan’s knowledge of the animals was nothing short of amazing, although one or two of those jokes need a little working on!! Many thanks to everyone. I am certain we will be back!

Mrs Ketzer und Walter, Mr Buesgen, so wie Mrs Grafe and Mr Grafe.

Jude Tasker, Hamilton, New Zealand

A truly amazing experience. I felt like Alice, no Jude, in Wonderland. Wondering what we would see, experience, admire on every safari. I gained heaps of knowledge from Juan with his experiences and skills from years of doing safaris. So very pleased I came here and I will recommend this to other travelers. Food & service was excellent. More than I expected. Fantastic all round. Cheers & a big thank you.

Lisa Cathcart, Hamilton, New Zealand

Truly an African bush safari experience that far exceeded my lofty expectations. A real pleasure to be surrounded and served by people who are knowledgeable & courteous and who show their enjoyment. Thanx.

No words can describe this truly amazing experience. This has been the most exciting time of my life with fantastic food, awesome staff and wonderful views. Thank you very much for your patience & experience in providing such an awesome holiday.

Chrissi White & Adam Webster, Bognor Regis, England

Thanks you so much for an awesome safari and a wonderful adventure. I have been planning and imagining this trip since I was 5 years old and it was everything I imagined and so much more. The animals are beautiful and the camping & food stunning (thanks Scotty & Tish). The shower was the best I have ever had in my life. This has made our no. 1 holiday. You guys are all so amazing. Keep smiling guys, you are the best. See you again soon. Lots of love and the best of health.

Sylvia Maas & Rico Osteresch, Bremen, Germany

Thank you for having a great and amazing safari here in “sunny” South Africa. As I’m writing these letters while it’s raining! It was one of the greatest times of our life not because of the animals at all but because of feeling welcome at any times. Once we’ll come back to Germany we’ll tell everybody of the warm and welcome people and animals here in South Africa.

Steffen Müller & Holger Schwarz-Müller

Too bad – no refund possible! Just kidding – had 5 out of 5 and lots more than that. Many “kudos” to the staff for such a well organised safari. Thanks again to the staff – Frank, Scott, Roxy & Simon for looking after us and pampering us here in the bush.

Tim & Jack North, Australia

Came with a son Jack, saw and experienced Africa, went away back with a young man with a better appreciation of life, man & animals. Thanks for the great trip.

Brendon Lowe, Australia

Thank you so very much. I was made to feel as though I was one of the locals. The staff, Phillip, Scott, Roxy & Simon who went about their business but still took the time to talk and explain anything we wanted to know and made me feel like I had known them for years. Such great people, food & camping set up (not really camping). Then there’s the animals and this wonderful place you get to enjoy everyday. To all of you I wish the very best & once again, thank you.

Jessica Martin, New Zealand

Ditto what Brendon says. This is the best way to experience Kruger. Not really being a camping girl myself, this camp had all the comforts of home and the staff were excellent. Waking up to lions calling nearby is an experience I’ll never forget!
