I want to thank Siyabona Africa for making my first safari the most memorable one. I had a great time, all the travel arrangements were great with no hiccups at all. the lodge (Shishangeni Lodge) was amazing and the rangers (Philip) were very capable and knowledgeable. I saw all the big five and met very nice people on the safari. Thank you Siyabona and especially Dominique Overmeyer

We did this trip, Explore Southern Africa, from Aug 9 - 26 this year and we thought it was probably our most memorable trip ever.  The variety of wildlife (we saw the big 5 plus giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, wildebeests, impalas, baboons, ...) and our proximity to them that we experienced was unparalleled.  The scenery was like nothing we had ever experienced before (our first time anywhere in Africa).  Although it was winter time there when we went and many areas were looking very dry it was an experience not to be missed.  Additionally we were made to feel welcome everywhere that we went.  The highlights of the trip for us would be the two days to the Okavango Delta, the optional game drive through Chobe National Park and day 13 with our guide tracking rhinos in Matabos and going to the African village. Our tour leader, cook and drivers were excellent as were our co-travellers. The meals that were prepared for us tasted great, were well balanced and no one ever left hungry.  The 2 person tent accommodations weren't the most luxurious but they allowed one to stay right in the "middle of the action" with the animals in close proximity to our overnight homes.  This being the case, we never felt unsafe in our tents at any point.  The overlander vehicle didn't have air conditioning, as is standard, however if you made sure to open windows for air circulation during the drive the heat wasn't so bad.  If one is prepared to put up with these few inconveniences and willing to help out with camp set up, vehicle clean up, and meal clean up afterwards (this is a participatory type of trip where certain tasks are required of the travellers) it is an experience not to be missed.  It all makes one more appreciative of the luxuries that we have at home that many do not have in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Vic Falls to Kruger

The overall trip was satisfactory,  at times excellent.  We had no significant rain.  On three nights there was however, some iight drizzle for a short time. The tent walls have inward sloping screens on their four sides.  ANY precipitation is first detected when it drips down on occupants and gear. Then one rushes out, in the precip, to roll down exterior covers over the screens.  In a sudden tropical downpour  gear and occupants would be seriously wet before that could be accomplished.  Nor could tents be successsfuly erected nor struck in a rain situation,  Plus they are heavy canvas, maybe 30 pounds and awkward to erect. They have no fly to reflect the sun or re-direct rain.  If you think this wouldn't be a problem, make your reservation. We couldn't recommend this o anyone except in  the middle of the dry season.

There was an issue with the large truck so we were therefore on a smaller truck. This was fine but nothing fitted. Everything felt squashed, including ourselves. Everything was tired, the truck, the tents, the mattress....

In the second half of the itenerary (Vic Falls to Joburg), there are 5 days with 1 only activity included. There are many days just in travel to reach Kruger Park. Also, the fact of the program does not includes any early morning neither night drive put the change of see all big five lower.

Excellent trip! It was a very active trip, constantly moving around and seeing new things! It's hard to adjust back to normal life! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the real Africa!
