My friend and I visited South Africa for the 1st time this July. We booked the 5 Days Private Kruger Safari & Luxury Lodge Experience with Shinzelle and we are glad we did !
We spent 2 nights in a lodge inside the Sabi Sand private game reserve and then 2 nights inside the Kruger National Park with a private guide.
Everything was really well organized, we didn’t need to worry about anything. The only thing we had to do was enjoy the parks, the landscape and the animals ;)
As soon as we landed in Nelspruit, we were taking care of. Nick was waiting for us at the airport to drive us to Sabi Sand. He then came back to pick us 2 days later and proceed with us to the Kruger part of our journey before driving us back to the airport at the end.
Special thanks to Danielle for organizing this perfect trip for us ! She was always there to answer the many questions I had before the trip and I greatly appreciate her availability.
We will definitely come back for more :)
PS. If you can get Nick as a guide, go for it ! He was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and very funny. For sure, one of the best guides we have had.

We booked the four day Kruger and Private Reserve Tour with Danny, staying at Khaya Ndlovu Manor House. First of all, the accommodation and food was first class. The manor is beautifully decorated, with a deck area and infinity pool overlooking a water hole, where you can watch zebras and other wildlife come down to drink. The game drives were out of this world! Johnny our guide for Kruger was so knowledgeable and could spot all types of wildlife. We were extremely lucky and saw everything we could, and the trackers and guides at Khaya Ndlovu also went above and beyond to track cheetahs and lioness. Everything was perfectly organised by Danny, so we just had to sit back and soak up the whole experience.

We used Shinzelle Safaris to book our 5 day safari in Sabi Sands and what an experience it was. We had the best time and our booking was made so easy by Danielle. Danielle was flexible and quick at responding so we had all the information we needed. We were so lucky to stay at Umkumbe River Lodge in Sabi Sands and had the best week we could have wished for. Definitely recommend

I definitely recommend Shinzelle Safaris!!
In the first place, we wanted a custom 6-days tour for our family, which Danielle from Shinzelle arranged exactly as we wanted at a good price. Unfortunately, part of our group missed a flight connection and arrived 3 days later than expected with a complete uncertainty about their luck day by day. Danielle was amazingly helpful, trying to set everything "in real time" so that all the scheduled activities would be squeezed in the remaining days and the unlucky ones could enjoy them all, while the rest of us were enjoying nice game drives as planned.
In addition, the quality of all the services provided in the package was awesome. The lodge in which we were accommodated was just fantastic (African Rock Lodge), the guides and drivers (Jeffrey, Vincent, Sibu) were extremely nice, kind and helpful. Thanks to all of you guys, you made our experience great in spite of the mishap!

Great day in Kruger National Park!
We had a lovely day in the park, which started a bit slowly with the hot weather, but ended excellent with beautiful lion and leopard sightings!
Very thankful to our guide Edson who took us on this trip! Very good guide with great knowledge, but also a great sense of humor.
I was also very impressed by how helpful he was with other guides on their tours, turning around and catching up with them to give them tips about sightings. Very considerate!
Thank you for this lovely day!

Best Holiday Ever!!! Everything about this holiday was brilliant, wonderful location & accommodation. The communication was excellent & the way the whole trip was organised was fantastic from start to finish. I do not want to do any other type of holiday ever again! The Manor house was wonderful, every person there made our trip what it was, our guides, both from Shinzelle & at the Manor House were great & knowledgeable. Food was delicious, the watering hole opposite the pool was fabulous too. Beautiful place, wonderful people, best trip of my life, cannot wait to come back & I will!

If you are looking for an affordable way to visit Kruger Park, this is your answer. Would highly recommend their services to anyone. Danielle was very friendly and was ready to answer any of our questions from booking to during our stay. If you do have the time for the panoramic day tour, please do not miss it as they take you to visit some amazing views of the area. Packed breakfast were very good and dinner was even better (with a lovely surprise of having 2 of them set in our terrace). Our package included airport transfers, bfast and dinner, and daily tours and thus we did not have to think of anything else whilst there - except keep a look out for the animals during the safari (also managed very good sighting of 4 of the BIG 5 thanks to our tour guide).

Looking for a Safari in Kruger National Park? Danielle and Brandon are the people you want to reach out for. They are the masterminds behind Shinzelle Safari and a great couple to say the least. We booked a three day Safari with them, and had a lovely time. Danielle made sure all our needs (food, transport, lodging) were met, and really made us feel welcome from day one (sadly, we did not get a chance to taste her famous Portuguese cooking). Brandon was our guide at the Safaris, and we could tell that he enjoys his work (and yes, its includes a whole lot of driving and waking up extremely early) and does it with all his heart. With over 10 years of guiding experience, his extended knowledge of wildlife is very authentic and we could tell he knew very well how to encounter the animals (made us feel very safe too). He was also keen to show us as much wildlife as possible, including "the big five" (we also listened to the lion radio ;-)). Nevertheless, the magic of the Safari that he guides lies (beyond the big cats) and in the details (we loved his bird facts), and he really conveyed to us the sense of respect and humility that we humans should feel before these beautiful and wild animals, and that has really made a lasting impression on us!
Dear Danielle and Brandon, we want to give you both a big thank you for this beautiful (5 star and 5 star worthy) experience, and we really hope that you continue doing Safaris for many many years to come as the passionate and hospitable people that we have met. Please also make sure to come visit us in Europe or Brasil.
Best regards, Sophia and Ken

We had the most amazing 4 days with Sammi as our tour guide. From the moment he picked us up from OR Tambo airport to when he dropped us off at our accommodation after the tour, he was friendly, informative and so very helpful. The only animal he didn't find for us in the Kruger was a cheetah - bonus points for 4 leopards and 2 lions in the first 2 hours of the last day :).
Overall, the tour was one of a lifetime. The accommodation was fantastic, food wonderful, and we had an amazing time. Thanks to African Budget Tours for their help.

Hidden treasure that should be know to everyone. Friendly, and expert guiding. They avoid the crowds and because they know Kruger get you to see the Big 5 and other sights you came to see, including the birds.
