Hi Clare,

We had an amazing trip!! You made everything super easy and were a dream to work with. You explained everything and made sure all the details were covered. Thank you!!

Simon was a terrific guide for our Kruger Park portion. He helped us have some amazing views and encounters at Kruger. His meals were top-notch. Very fun guy to tour around Kruger Park with; we were always laughing. He even surprised my parents with some champagne to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary. The transport and lodging were very comfortable. The family lodging was nice as we could all share time together but still have our own rooms.

Our time at Kambaku was magical. My parents and kids were blown away by the level of service, as well as the accommodations. Having an adjoining room with the kids was a nice surprise! My husband and I had a nice private room, but, we were still close enough to the kids to feel comfortable. The kids loved the "kids club" and got to go out on their own game drive and cast lion prints to take home (very cool). The meals here were 5-star, we even got to experience a bush dinner (one of our favorite experiences). Savannah and Sharon (managers) welcomed us, and made us feel like family. Our guide and tracker (Aidan and Moses) ensured we had some once-in-a-lifetime encounters on our game drives. They were quite knowledgeable and answered every question my kids had (and they had a lot LOL).

Overall, this was an 11/10 experience!! Every day brought some new experience and we always felt safe and cared for. Thank you for helping us have a magical holiday.

Our experience
Kruger & Private Lodge Combo Safari
5 Day Kruger Park and Private Lodge Safari

A guided safari in Kruger Park (using the national park camps) is quite different to a safari at a private game lodge. Both have their advantages. This trip idea combines two nights in Kruger, followed by two nights at a private game lodge for you to experience the best of both worlds. All game drives in open vehicles with expert and knowledgeable guides.

Suite Interior
Kambaku Safari Lodge

Kambaku Safari Lodge is located in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa. This rustic yet luxurious lodge accommodates only 16 guests, which allows for an atmosphere of relaxed intimacy. Guests can watch game drinking from the waterhole at the lodge. Open-vehicle game drives afford great game viewing opportunities and a chance to spot the Big 5 in the unspoilt bush. The lodge offers a choice of family, double or twin suites.
