Exceeded our expectations in every way!
We absolutely loved every minute of this trip!
We started working with Shann Shaw about 14 months in advance of our trip by discussing what we hoped to see, when we wanted to go, our budget, and our limitation to not fly small bush planes. We were very impressed with Shann's guidance regarding an itinerary that would meet our trip wish list. Additionally, while building the itinerary, Shann provided lodging options we could research and consider for the 4 game reserves we would be visiting. Shann was very responsive to our questions in advance of the trip and super responsive while we were on our trip.
At each of our 4 safari lodges our rooms were GORGEOUS, staff was fantastic, and the food was excellent! The game guides and trackers were extremely knowledgeable and in tune with giving us the best game viewing experience possible. The viewing, the landscape, and the accommodations at each of the 4 safari reserves were unique and special in different ways.
There was not a single snafu on 3 week trip. The transfers between the four lodges were flawless (driving and flying) with very professional drivers and very good vehicles.
We couldn't have asked for a better experienc! Dare I say it was perfect.
We loved this trip so much, I've already told Shann I'd like her to help us plan the next one

A Life-Changing Safari — Beyond Every Expectation
There are trips you take, and then there are trips that change you. Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is unequivocally the latter.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was no ordinary safari lodge. The team had an almost uncanny ability to anticipate every need before it was even expressed — a cold towel here, a perfectly timed sundowner there, a room detail personalized just for us. The staff don't just provide service; they provide presence, and that makes all the difference.
The food deserves its own accolade. Every meal was an event — fresh, inventive, and beautifully presented, whether served under the open sky or around a boma fire. It elevated what could have been a "nice camp meal" into something truly memorable.
But the real magic happened out in the bush. Our ranger and tracker were, without exaggeration, extraordinary. Their knowledge runs impossibly deep — we tracked and spotted all of the Big 5, which alone felt like a miracle, but that was just the beginning. They decoded the language of the bush for us: the medicinal secrets of plants most people would walk past without a second glance, the stories written in animal tracks, and at night, the vast, uninterrupted African sky — they turned a canopy of stars into a living astronomy lesson. We came home knowing more about this planet than we ever expected to.
Beyond the wildlife, beyond the food, beyond the flawless service — Sabi Sabi gave us something rarer: a genuine sense of wonder. It rekindled curiosity I didn't know had gone quiet.
A special mention must go to Safari.com and our consultant Candis, who made the entire journey seamless from the very first conversation. No hidden fees, no last-minute surprises, no stress — just thoughtful, expert planning that let us be fully present for every incredible moment. If you want a safari done right, start with them.
If you are even remotely considering it — go. Don't hesitate, don't wait for the "right time." Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is, without question, the most extraordinary experience of my life.

Leigh-Ann listed and put together a perfect package for me.
When I decided to add Victoria Falls to my already booked itinerary in South Africa, I researched several companies and I'm so glad I chose Safari.com. Leigh-Ann listened to what we wanted and gave us several package options of various prices and itineraries.
We choose to stay at Avani, which was so amazing with zebras, giraffes, monkeys and impala roaming all around the grounds! It also was a 5 minute walk to to Victoria Falls and the locals curio shops with handmade items. Full breakfast was included at Avani with a great selection. The staff was so friendly!
A BOMA dinner was suggested and was awesome to see African music, dance and drumming.
The sunset cruise was beautiful and relaxing. The hippos put on a show for us.
Leigh-Ann also set us up for a guided walking tour of both sides of the falls, with an option to return as much as we wanted. I was glad to have the guide for the first time as he was not only knowledgeable but provided me with a much needed rain coat!
Unfortunately my friend had a family emergency and had to return home before we even got to Zambia. When I contacted Leigh-Ann she was very quick to respond and understood my concern of traveling alone. That anxiety quickly went away as soon as I arrived. Everyone was so friendly and I never felt afraid.
Leigh-Ann was so good at listening to what we wanted, our budget, was always quick to respond to every question and calmed me when I realized I'd be traveling alone.
I highly recommend Safari.com for your visit to Victoria Falls!

Our travel angel!
From day one of planning our anniversary vacation to the end of our anniversary vacation, Ms. Leigh-Ann Croeser was absolutely wonderful. She was our travel angel. While on our trip we lost our luggages and she was making calls to the airlines and getting information for us to help us out so we wouldn’t have to stress while on vacation. She went above and beyond for us. Any questions we had she would respond almost immediately. She was so patient with us and so caring. She always answered my calls and her voice was so soothing and thoughtful. You can tell she loves what she does and she wanted us to have an amazing experience. She always made sure that our tours and resorts were up to par. She even went as far as letting the resorts know that our luggage was missing so they could accommodate us with essentials. The resorts even provided their uniform for us to use. We are so grateful that we found the best travel agent! I highly recommend to book through Safari if you want to have an otherworldly experience.

A seamless yet unforgettable vacation.
Our safari experience in Sabi Sands was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our trip planner. From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly, making what could have been a complicated journey feel effortless. Despite the long travel required to reach the reserve, every detail was thoughtfully arranged and everything went exactly according to plan. The safari fit perfectly into our South Africa itinerary.
The resort that was selected for us exceeded all expectations. It was incredibly luxurious while still feeling warm and personal. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their hospitality was exceptional throughout our stay. Every member of the team made the experience feel special and tailored to us.
The safari guides and staff were extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, which made every game drive both exciting and educational. We were fortunate enough to see an incredible variety of animals during our time in the reserve, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We are so grateful for the care and expertise that went into planning this trip. It was the perfect combination of adventure, luxury, and seamless logistics, and we would highly recommend both the trip planner and this experience to anyone considering a safari in South Africa.

A very restful, pleasant experience.
It was an awesome experience. The comunications between myself and Heleen Coetzee made it such a memorable one. On as more negative note, I have been coming to the Kruger for many, many years and it has mostly been a great visit but is marred by the staff at the main gates. If you are a day visitor, can't you find another way of booking in every day. How about just buying an entrance ticket for the period that you are going to be coming in and maybe just confirming your entrance at the main gate at security. There are long long ques and people get very itrritated by the slowness, in particular , at Crocodile Bridge and the staff are not at all efficient.

3 day classic safari - perfection
When we booked our flights to visit our friends in the greater Jo'burg area we were suggested to go on a safari while in S.A. We did a bit of searching around and asked for a few quotes, one of them from KrugerPark.com. While some of the other providers returned us impersonal emails, Andy from KrugerPark.com actually personally called me and asked for our expectations and wishes. He then sent a very competitive quote by email and followed up to see if all the details were correct for us etc. We decided to bite the bullet and I'm glad we did!
For the safari (organised by Outlook Safaris) we were picked up from our hotel by super friendly drivers and driven to Skukuza. On the way we already saw zebras, kudus, rhinos and giraffes (at a petrol station!). We were looked after extremely well throughout the visit and given very friendly advice and schedule by the team. The bungalow we stayed in was clean and did the job well - not that we spent more time there than for sleeping; busy schedule. As an aside, the restaurant and shop on site are very reasonably priced considering they're the only places you can buy anything in a 100 mile radius; no need to pack emergency rations.
As for the game drives, we had several drivers and types of trips during which we spotted so many animals and sights I lost count. Of the big five we only missed a leopard (by a few minutes, several times) but did see an impala in a tree, ripped into two parts by a leopard. My daughter was very impressed! She was also impressed by the lions, giraffes, mongooses, warthogs, hippos, rhinos, crocodiles, elephants and all the other wonderful animals.
Considering that we had no expectations beforehand we were super impressed and a bit disappointed we only packed our smartphone cameras with us. Good thing then that FJ (one of the guides) is a professional photographer and took amazing photos with his super camera - and all the photos can be seen on the Outlook Safaris' FB page.
All in all I would very, very warmly recommend booking a safari with KrugerPark.com.
