Very upbeat, excited and friendly.
5/5

Truly a life changing experience! Far exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to do this again! We were picked up on time every day. Our driver (s) were very knowledgeable and explained so much. I really learned a lot aside from seeing the beautiful wildlife and scenery. I would rate the safari experience a 10 out of 10!!!

Amazing choice
5/5

Danielle gave us a personalized quote for our family, everything was perfect, from choosing the resort to the airport shuttle, the communication was constant. Our guide Isaac was fun and he gave us a lot of information and told us many curiosities. I recommend this agency to everyone.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Shinzelle Safaris gave us the best first safari experience we could have hoped for. From start to finish, the service was exceptionally well-organized and made the entire trip feel effortless and relaxing. We were made to feel like royalty, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel truly special — particularly as we were celebrating a very special birthday. The experience was definitely worth every penny and offered exceptional value for money. We stayed at the luxury lodge, which I can’t recommend highly enough. The staff were outstanding, and the food was truly 10/10.
While in Kruger, we were lucky enough to see every animal we could have hoped for — it was like the wildlife came out just for us. The experience exceeded all expectations and that was down to Shinzelle and everyone involved.

Our personal game driver, Godfrey, was a standout — he truly made the trip unforgettable with his expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine care. Couldn't sing his praises enough!

Issac was amazing!
5/5

We had the absolute pleasure on a safari with Shinzelle Safaris, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! The wildlife sightings were nothing short of incredible — we had up-close encounters with elephants, lions, and even rhinos!

Isaac was knowledgeable, passionate, and really made the experience come to life with their insights about the animals and the environment. Every day brought something new and exciting, and I couldn’t have asked for a better safari adventure.

If you’re looking for a truly memorable safari experience with an exceptional team, I highly recommend Shinzelle Safaris. They go above and beyond to ensure you have an adventure of a lifetime!

5/5

Brendan made unforgettable tours in Kruger National Parc with us. He was so friendly and knows vry much about Fauna and Flora. He showed us special places and w had lots of fun. It was a wonderful time. Danielle cooked for us the best meals and always was so agile and heartful and made all wishes come true. They both are high ambitioned to make their guests the best days they can have. If we could make another tour to Kruger Park we would always choose Shinzelle Safaris. We recommend them to everybody!

Unique experience in Kruger National Park with Shinzelle Safaris
5/5

We are very happy about our choice and had an amazing experience with Shinzelle, Brandon and Danielle.

First of all:
A Safari is an expensive thing to do and there is a lots companies you have to choose between. Some will treat you as a mass tourist, traveling around in big groups, and others will make it a quite personal and therefore unique experience. We couldn't imagine a more personal experience than the two gave us - so if you are looking for that, you found it.

Safari and tours:
Brandon is a skilled, passionate and experienced guide for over 10 years now. He was as excited as we were watching the animals - except impalas, they are just everywhere :D.
we were two days out in kurger national park with him and it was just awesome.
brandon gave us tons of information about the flora and fauna and the landscape of the park. as you are out in nature, of course, there is no guaranty for animal spottings and good weather. we got really lucky and saw all of the big five and many other fascinating animals as well. but whatever might happen, brandon surely will make the best out of it :).

we also decided to do the panorama tour on day 2, which is as well recommendable and allows you to relax a bit, just ask them about it :).

accommodation and food:
accommodation will depend on availability. we stayed in a beautiful spacy hut on the brink of a creek build on stilts. you will be accompanied by the sound of birds and amphibia - therefore you will never lose touch with nature, which we enjoyed.
the food was amazing! or as they say in SA "lekker"! Danielle is a professional chef and everything she prepared for us was delicious. for the two of us it was way too much to eat so you most certainly won't have to be afraid to stay hungry. also, we were very happy to hear, that the leftovers will be given to charity!

All in all we fell in love with the place and this lovely couple and their efforts. we couldn't have chosen better and would totally recommend this tour with "Shinzelle Safaris" (which means honey badger in Englisch :).)

5/5

Me and my family had a great safari experience, we had the opportunity to see all the big 5 until 12pm! Guide Brandon is the best guide, knows everything about the wildlife and you can see that he is very passionate about his job. He tells every single detail about every animal! Truly amazing! And Dani, an amazing chef!! I told her i needed to have a special diet and she studied every ingredient to make the best and different meals for me. Also she wont let you be hungry, so many food to eat during the day! Fruits, juice, sandwiches, protein bars, everything!
I can truly recommend you Shinzelle Safaris, A lovely couple who is very passionate about wildfile and his costumers!
Thank you Guide Brandon and Chef Dani!
