Shindzela Tented Camp Review score: 9.4

“The staff were amazing,Lorna, Carolyn, my guide Kudos. We learnt a lot about the animals, tracks, poop, etc. I loved that there was a waterhole where we could watch the animals drink. We ate our dinner with our guide and sat with the people on our drive, which is a nice experience. The camp is small, only 8 tents, so it is an intimate experience.”

Motswari Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK Review score: 9.5

“Superior experience, we saw the big five in the first 2 Game Drives. Hayden & Patrick( tracker and driver )were fun to be with, knowledgeable and friendly all times , went that extra mile to find the animals we wanted to look out for. Noah, Tim & Prince provided a service with a smile in the restaurant and bar, even remembered our tipple. Food was so delicious and plentiful. The whole team work incredibly well together, this was a holiday of a lifetime , phenomenal hospitality. This is a bucket list holiday for sure. Well worth paying premium rate. You get what you pay for , definitely recommend. Allow for extra cash for the tips , recommendations 600-700 rands per day for driver & tracker , then the support team. The leave as a Family is definitely true , the singing and dancing memories made in the heart forever . Take dark trainers …. It’s very dusty! Thank you.”
