I really enjoyed the full experience. The drive from Joburg to Kruger National Park was relaxed, where I could ask a lot of questions and where you could enjoy the silence on other moments. I travelled individually and this organization was just perfect for that. They spend enough time on you, but also give you the freedom and time for yourself on other moments. I enjoyed the company and the experience during the safari. We didn’t see a lot of animals, but that can happen on any day. I did some safari’s before, so I know how difficult it is to spot animals.

The lodge was very nice and I had a very big room. Also the swimming pool was clean and enjoyable. I decided to do the panorama route as well and that was definitely a good choice! I had the opportunity to do the big swing and I saw beautiful sceneries. The guide also provided us with information about the places on panorama route.

This was a great experience with an organization where they really take care of you! I would recommend this to everybody!

Safari tour was very good – unfortunately tour guide (who to be fair to Sandy Tracks was new and on trial – so perhaps will not be there for future travellers) was not as enthusiastic or engaging as we would have hoped for a holiday that is only something that most people do maybe only a few and possibly only once in a lifetime. That is why the rating is 4 rather than 5 star.

David however was excellent and absolutely committed to customer service and ensuring we had a great time. His knowledge and attention to detail was second to none.

We did see lots of animals including the big 5.

I opted for a budget option as a thought the cost for most others packages was excessive given that the important factor was the park and wildlife – and that is a constant no matter what you book. I booked the Budget 3 day/2 night Sandy Tracks package and I was not disappointed! Notable positives are:- – the excellent swift communication from David – the slick pick up at the airport by Thom – the excellent service from the lodge staff – the skilled guide Mike and scoring the ‘Big Five’ in the two days; amazing! – the accommodation although a little tired is adequate, clean and in a short distance to the Kruger gates – a pool is an absolute bonus – food choices were very good catering for vegetarians – arranging a table for all the single travellers was a great idea – transfer back was exceptional as David and Thom kindly arranged to drop me at a private address in Pretoria; thank you. If you are in any doubt about booking this trip – don’t be; it’s excellent value for money. No frills but surely this trip is about the safari!

Panorama Route was definitely worth it! David showed us around and was very informative during the overall trip. I also had a very nice room and overall very clean in the lodge and very friendly staff.

The communication by e-mail with David was very smooth. He picked us up from our hotel in Johannesburg together with Thom. Both

David and Thom are very friendly and helpful. David is an experienced guide, we could listen to his adventurous stories for hours. The Kruger Adventure Lodge is a nice lodge with friendly staff. We were only two people but we got to stay in a large bungalow with one double bed and two single beds! On the first day, we already saw a lot of animals during the sunset safari. Eventually after the full day safari on the second day, we saw the big five except the leopard. On the third and last day, we followed the Panorama Route which was absolutely worth it. Overall we had a lovely trip. There were only a few minor points like the sandwich that was provided in the packed breakfast and that we had to wait a long time at the gate to enter Kurger on the second day. We definitely recommend Sandy Tracks!

Smooth organized from pick-ip of the hotel in Jo’burg till return to airport.

Good game drives, with experienced tourguide. The lodge waa nice with good facilities. Great value for money.

View the fantastic Big Fives and so many others in the real nature! The open vehicle driver/guide Gibson was fantastic!

10/10 Recommend!

My partner and I chose to do the 4-day tour complete with the panoramic route. Dave from Sandy Tracks was excellent enough to pick us up from a location completely off-track, at 7am on New Years Day (if that’s not impressive enough I don’t know what is!)

The drive up to Hazyview was stress-free, and the accommodation had everything you needed (aircon, swimming pool, bar, delicious dinners, friendly staff etc). We had a game drive upon arrival in the evening, and then 2 full day safaris consecutively after that. Our safari guide – Happy – is great at his job and goes above and beyond to ensure that you are well-informed about every animal/plant in the Kruger.

A big thanks to Sandy Tracks for making our trip so unforgettable.

We received all the necessary information from Sandy Tracks.

Our driver (Tom) who took us to Kruger and back to Johannesburg was very friendly and nice all the time, providing all the assistance we needed.

The lodge was OK, nice swiming pool and friendly staff, breakfast and dinner at the lodge was very tasty – I would only suggest a better breakfast bag (you to take with you to the Safari), bread was dry and practically no filling in it. The day safari at Kruger park was nice, we could see all the big-5 but the leopard (which was already expected), and apart from that many other animals living inside the area. I was an amazing experience, got a little concerned when learned that there was no gun in the vehicle, just in case a lion decides to jump in…

All our emails were answered promptly before we departed; David constantly strived to update his messages and emails on his cell, wherever signal allowed it (showing us he tried his best to keep in constant contact with all queries and future travellers). Service was good, with the guide adhering to the itinerary. The Safari itself proceeded smoothly; the vehicle was reliable and clean and the guide’s input to any and all questions was polite and informative. We were fortunate in being just the two of us, thus having personal attention. David’s knowledge of the area, through which we travelled (Southern Namibia), was extensive, as it was his home Country. All meals were made via campfire or gas. David cooks enough to feed a small army, which led us to often jokingly monitoring his “portion control” and we did our best to eat 2nds, in order to “keep our strength up” (this became our own private joke, as he explained that cooking for only 3 people was almost impossible for him). His bobotie was exceptional, made with the aid of “Bridget’s trivet”! His dexterity with regards to braa’ing and boiling goods on the gas braai brilliant. He packed and unpacked his bakkie with familiarity and ease. He kept up good humour, even when the harsh terrain got us a puncture. We were assisted by the friendliest farm owner, Hermien, who had the neatest, cleanest bathrooms at her campsite we had ever seen! She and her husband plugged and pumped up the back tyre in 10 minutes, so very professional and helpful. At every opportunity, David pointed out numerous sights and interesting facts about the terrain and upcoming towns. David is trustworthy, funny, informative and most of all, brilliant at what he does. We would book again with him in a heartbeat!
