Not very friendly or understanding at all.....
I was quoted an absolutely ridiculous price, more than half than the reserves website actually stated, no difference between adult and child, and did not in slightest try and accommodate me or better the price, an absolute rip off they are....

Posted on May 25, 2026We regret that you had a bad experience with the quote process. Unfortunately when looking at only the quoted price of a lodges game drive prices and then regarding our quoted price to be higher you should please consider that there is some hidden costs like the entrance fees and conservation levies, professional liability insurance while on the activity and staff fees that handle your enquiry as well as banking fees to process payments ext.
We try and have very competitive pricing and cut all margins to make it affordable to our clients and on most safaris it is absorbed, as you only wanted one game drive and wanted to drive there yourself we suggested that you book with the lodge directly as it would cut out the above expenses and regret that you feel that we did not try and accommodate you with a better price. We hope that providing you with the lodges direct details to book the gamedrive directly helped you make it more affordable and that you will have a wonderful experience.
You're better off booking a better lodge and self driving, food is very poor.
Pros: they delivered on everything we agreed on, one driver (Alec) was fantastic, lodge room was nice and big although animals live in it's ceiling.
Cons: 1 hour late airport pickup, drinks not included and they ask for tips on them, some drivers are lazy (no we don't need 2 hours worth of breaks during a full day game drive), lodge needs more maintenance (especially the pools), food is very very basic, barely edible.
Even if it's one of the cheapest pre-made safari options, it still felt way overpriced for what you get.
No good sighting of Leopard and Lions during our visit, sadly had to cancel our Panorama route tour because of this. So we really missed on both.
My recommendation is that you pick a better lodge (closer and with better food) and self drive, you'll see animals anyways.

Inflexible. We were not able to see the lions and I was another game drive
1. We were not able to see the lions and I was expecting that they will make another effort by giving us another game drive so that we have a complete experience but no effort was made
2. I made a request to change my drop location to my hotel instead of airport but it wasn't approved.
3. It was football world cup final that evening & the taxi was late by 1 hr. As a result I missed the world cup final.

Good value and service orientated
We had a good tour on the first day and the lodge was lovely in regards to the bungalow, which was spacious and beautiful. The safari tour on the second day was great and we experienced a lot of views of the big five. The drivers who picked us up and got us back to Johannesburg as well as driving the panoramic tour gave us lots of information, provided great service, and were very reliable and nice! The reservation, communication and the whole organisation through André, the manager was perfect and we can recommend booking a tour with SAFARIWITHUS. Thank you for a great experience!

BEST MEMORY OF OUR LIVES
I would like to thank the Safari with Us team for their professionalism. We came across their site by chance after searching for a tour operator for several days. It was a great discovery, with a responsive and professional team.
Thank you for this moment.

A lovely time
Really easy to book and organise. I had accommodation the night before and the night after arranged and was kept up to date with the schedule and with any changes.
Pick up from my hotel was nice and easy and then collecting the others from the hotel went smooth.
Adventure Lodge in Hazy view was a lovely place to stay. Good food, comfortable and clean beds and really friendly staff. Overall a really nice experience.
Out safari guide Shadrach was really friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to spot so many animals! including hyena cubs and even a lioness successfully hunting an impala! I know this is partly luck, but Shadrach knew what to look for as the hunt was in progress. Had he have done anything different, we would have missed the event.
Safari with us advertise additional, optional tours (subject to availability), The lodge did not offer a night time tour, but by contacting the company, it was easy enough to arrange, and well worth doing too!
I also did the panorama route which was beautiful and I am so glad I did it. The sights are well worth a visit and we went to The Garden Shed for lunch and the food was delicious!
My only complaint is I wanted to book an additional tour for the morning I was going to leave which is advertised as optional with Safari with us. However, when I tried to book with the lodge I was told unless someone else booked also I couldn't go (or I'd have to pay double). Which I do understand, but I was quite disappointed. I was on the 4 day budget safari, with one day Panorama tour. For this I had one afternoon safari (around 2-2.5 hours) and one day safari (around 6am- around 2:30pm) and I paid extra for the night time Safari. Had I have known I would have booked the 3 day safari and skipped the Panorama tour. I would have liked more safari time included or guaranteed optional somehow.
But otherwise, the transport to and from Johannesburg to the lodge was comfortable and well organised and air conditioned! and there were enough comfort breaks. the hotel options were good, I stayed in the more budget friendly option and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. Overall, a positive experience.
Safari With Us met all my expectations in organizing my trip at very short notice
The team were helpful and communicative at all times. They ensured that all my needs were met.

First Safari Experience
BOOK AHEAD! i booked the day before and even though the site shows full day minimum, they only had seats available for the morning, so unfortunately, i didnt get much of a discount for only booking the half day ride. Dont let this happen to you and book sooner than i did!
The safari was a wonderful experience. I was at first a little upset that i wasnt able to sit next to my girl, but sitting next to the driver was also nice getting a front row seat and getting to ask questions as he drove. We spotted rhinos, impalas, ostriches, waterbucks, blue wilderbeasts, zebras, and a giraffe. The only 2 animals we unfortunately did not come accross in the 3 hours were lions and elephants. But i definitely plan to return and spend a longer time on the reserve. It was everything i wanted it to be.

Everything good and one of the cheapest rates we found
We bought 2N / 3D safari for zar 5400 per person where in accomodation was a camping tent. In terms of money we are happy as it was one of the cheapest we got in the market.
The camping tent is very very small. Dont take that if you have even 1 suitcase.
Overall happy to choose

This tour was well organized and Andre was very helpful to us all along the way.
This tour met all of our expectations for what it advertised. Our drivers Thabo and Tanya were absolutely great in there driving and caring for us. The side tours were amazing. The only drawback was some of the long days of driving from place to place. But it also gave us a chance to see more animals. I can honestly recommend this tour to all adults without children.
