★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 51 reviews · 2 days · from $534

Review of Cape Town’s 2-day Western Cape safari with Big Five game drives, luxury tented lodging, Route 62, and optional elephant viewing.

“Résultat mitigé. Dylan, le guide était top. Je le recommande vivement. Le programme est intense sur les 2 jours avec de longs trajets de 6h. Mais vous n’avez pas le choix si vous venez de Captown. Les van ne sont pas confortables. Concernant les 2 safari, cela me paraissait plus être un grand zoo sans enclos plutôt qu’un safari. J’ai moins apprécié le 1er safari Bufflesdrift car plus petit et beaucoups moins d’animaux. En revanche les lodges surplace et l’environnement étaient magnifiques. Il n’y avait pas de lions dans les 2 réserves. Suppléments éléphant cher, mais sympa car nous avons pu les approcher de très près et de les toucher.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 29 reviews · 2 days · from $616

Compare this 2-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg, with Big 5 drives, open vehicles, Hazyview lodging, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“This is no way is a review about the park itself. The safari is lovely and seeing the animals in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience. Our driver, Rudzani is 10/5 stars - he’s that amazing! However the reason why I didn’t give this tour a full five stars is because of the accommodation. I just felt it could have been better in terms of service, quality, food, etc. if you’re expecting people to pay such a fee food should be all inclusive in my opinion. A space where they can grow is also communication and proper planning. Even our safari driver was confused about certain…”
