Satara is well wooded and the bird-life is prolific. At night the clink of fruit bats is fused with the chirping of cicadas and crickets. The calls of owls and nightjars add to the symphony that is punctuated intermittently by the whoop of hyena, the screech of jackal and the roars of lion. Once at your camp, you will have a popular 3 hour sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle where the amazing African sunsets can be seen, and return at night while viewing some nocturnal species, then dinner at the restaurant.

Kruger Park & Panorama Route Safari, South Africa

11-Jul-2019

Prachtig Zeker aan te raden. Mei is wel een overgang maand van herfst naar winter daar altijd nog 25 graden overdag in ochtend en avond koelt het goed af dikke vest trui en lange broek zou advies zijn om ook mee te nemen. Het is qua natuur wat kil maar waardoor wel in deze periode makkelijker de dieren zoals big five en andere te spotten valt zich niet verschuilen achter het groen. Temperatuur is beter voor hen. Het is geen rust luier vakantie vroeg uit de veren om op safari te gaan vaak al om 5:45 uur worden opgehaald jeeps.... Panorama route is ook mooi prachtige natuur uitzichten heb je jou daar. Ik begon in Johannesburg Phalaborwa nelspruit Durban St.Lucia in Guesthouse gezeten. En weer terug naar Johannesburg tour Nelson Mandela museum en geschiedenis apartheid. En verschillen tussen arm en rijk wordt erg waargenomen. En toen weer retour Amsterdam Schiphol. Een aanrader ...more ...less

Family Trip of a Lifetime!

24-Aug-2019

Review of: 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route After reading many trip advisor reviews I reached out to Jakes regarding a family holiday in South Africa, I am so glad I did. From the get go Jakes made it easy for me to plan the trip. We had a group of 7 adults (all our kids are in their 20's) flying in from 3 different locations. After confirming our accomodation in Joburg, we left it in Jakes hands. The accommodation for all 3 nights was terrific, and we were blown away by the special dinner arranged for us in Kruger. You cannot explain the feeling of sitting in the middle of a national park, with a beautifully set table, and a private dinner provided under the stars. Jakes and Simon our guides were so knowledgable, and exceptionally patient with our group. Making sure all our accommodations were acceptable, and our meals well planned, it was thoughtful touches such as fresh fruit for the car ride, providing binoculars, helping us take photos at just the right angles (lighting) and ensuring that 1 vegetarian was catered for that made our trip so amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, including making arrangements for my sister who only booked 2 weeks before our tour started! We immediately booked a second tour with Jakes and Simon to do Soweto and Apartheid Museum, which is a testament to how much we valued and trusted them. ...more ...less

Meents - Germany  

Fantastic tour.

05-Sep-2019

Travelling in South Africa exceeding our expectations. Amatungulu Tours arranged a tailor tour for us, as we were doing a business conference, and could only join half of its itineraries. Jakes did the planning and bookings around accommodation availabilities, as well as many fantastic activities in the Garden Route and Durban area. We did not realise how big SA was until we had to travel the distance on the roads, but the scenery and unique diverse landscapes just made it all worthwhile. The guiding and interpretation we got about the history and culture was just brilliant. We also felt safe and well looked after by him and the overnight staff. The food was always very good, and we highly recommended this tour company to everyone. ...more ...less
