Southern Africa Safari: Kruger & Mozambique

The trip fulfilled all my expectations and exceeded them in many cases. Brilliant leadership from both our leaders and we felt safe under their guidance. The construction of the tour had been thoughtfully put together with the two occasions when we we had free time being timely and were needed! We particularly liked the contrast between the safari occasions and going to Mozambique which provided sea adventures and a contrast in social dynamics. We had a great holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

The safari encounters. The opportunity to be taken on a walk in the game reserve of Imfolozi. The opportunities to see, swim and walk in Mozambique Being able to trust our two leaders completely. (Onery drove safely, provided great meals and acted as a game guide extremely well. Tracy was consistently there, fun, helpful and knowledgeable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

At all times Tracy was courteous, fun, cheerful and knowledgeable. I had complete trust in her. Although her experience was limited in Mozambique and didn't speak the local language our second leader Onery was very competent in both. They made a super duo.

Southern Africa Safari: Kruger & Mozambique

The guide Petro was brilliant and the driver and safari guides were very knowlegeable. We saw a wide range of wildlife. Transport in the small bus made it very comfortable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Petro was an excellent guide in every way. I cannot fault her. She was very much a part of the group and was extremely knowledgeable.

Most Inspirational Moment

The wild life The sheer beauty of the magnificent wild life Took my breath away

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andr’e was an exceptional guide, he was always on great form as was Mr T our driver They provided all we needed and more on the trip Cooking food and preparing this after along drive day must be challenging for them, and they met the challenge head on. Always helpful and so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all we saw

Superb trip

Full on, non stop with excellent wildlife viewing, guides and facilities.

Most Inspirational Moment

Moments. Coming across a large pack of wild dogs in Kruger, whales and dolphins in Mozambique, realising just how fast an ostrich can run. Graskop gorge for an educationshort walk in a forest environment.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrew was brilliant, patient and organised, everything we needed. Good humoured and took us to some great locations, bars and restaurants. Sopeto his assistant was the man for driving, cooking, moving luggage and doing everything else asked of him with a huge smile and incredibly relaxed attitude. Chris, the driver we had in Kruger for 3 days gets a special mention. Knowledgeable and possessing inredible vision. How do these guys spot so much in the bush?

Advice for Potential Travellers

Incredible trip. So much to see and do listing it is impossible. Do yourself a huge favour and book. Whatever you think the tip bill will be, double it. SA has a strong tipping culture. Having said that, eating out is not expensive and mastercard is not accepted in Mozambique.

An excellent Wildlife experience

A wide range of wildlife spotted. We were extremely lucky to see Wild Dogs twice, a good number of White Rhino in Umfolozi and significant herds of elephant, Zebra and giraffe amongst many other animals.
Also had a good sighting of lions on our last day in Kruger.
Andrew, very well assisted by Trymore, was an excellent guide full of enthusiasm and a great host. Food prepared at the sites was very good as was the choice of restaurants on the occasions that we ate in towns.
There was a good close up experience with dolphins in Mozambique and it was the dolphins that approached the guests rather than the other way around.
The border crossing from Mozambique involved a lengthy delay as it was a Sunday and many workers travelling across to South Africa.
The lodges used were comfortable and well located.
Overall, a highly recommended trip for those who love wildlife although as always sightings can never be guaranteed.

Safari that exceeded all my expectations

Something of a bucket list holiday for me.
The combination of different locations was testament to the local knowledge of the tour organisers.
Yes the trip is full on, be prepared for the early starts and different activities, but they are worth it.
All very well organised, taking into account differing physical capabilities, and designed to get the best out of the specific area.

Most Inspirational Moment

Yes the big animals we saw, but also some of the smaller ones. Seeing a Pied Kingfisher hovering before it dived to catch its breakfast! Being in the ocean off Mozambique when a pod of bottle nosed dolphins swam up to the group, swam around us, some of them swimming belly up past us. Seeing dwarf mongoose sunning themselves on a tree stump, warming up in the early morning sun. Hearing lions calling in the night, hyenas “yipping” to each other, the rumble of elephants, in a herd, talking to each other. So many different experiences, for all the senses. Magical.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrew and Trimore were excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and good fun. Willing to listen to the group, in an effort to see specific animals on the safaris. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both for making our trip such a great one.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do it. You will not regret it. Early morning starts felt chilly, so do add extra layers, windproof top, hat, to feel more comfortable.

A good and varied tour

A fast paced and busy trip with sensory overload

Most Inspirational Moment

Many great moments throughout the tour (game drives especially). Most inspiring moment was snorkelling with the dolphins at Ponta Do Ouro as I have never done this before. I am quite a nervous ocean swimmer so this was big for me. From launching the boat, cutting through the surf to get out to the deep blue, finding the dolphins and watching them play, to getting into the water with them.... the whole experience was awesome. Dolphin Encounters is an exceptionally professional and respectful organisation doing really important work. We witnessed quite a few wildlife "stories"including rhinos chasing off 2 cheetahs and a pride of lions returning to a buffalo kill and the scavengers trying to sneak a meal. Able to watch the scenes for up to an hour.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrew and Paul were great throughout the tour working very hard behind the scenes to make the tour a great experience for us

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a great and varied tour and would highly recommend it. However I would add two caveats to that:- 1. Travellers should be aware that the sea at Ponta Do Ouro is quite rough with huge breakers and a large swell once out in the deep blue. You need to be quite fit to anchor yourself into the boat via your feet and to be strong enough to hold onto the edge of the boat (rib Boat) as you cut through the breakers and swell. 2. The game drive vehicles are 9 seater long base trucks (3 x3).We found we were incredibly cramped with virtually no room for daypacks. If we had been 10 then they would have to have used an additional truck. We did ask for an additional truck and to pay any extra cost but it was not forthcoming.

Southern Africa Safari: Kruger & Coast

Excellent trip / service as per usual

Thoughts on Group Leader

Both were excellent leaders
