Sabi Sand Sonnenuntergangssafari

This tour company is crooked! I had to be taken to the hospital an hour away and have bronchitis so was unable to go on the tour. I canceled the tour in plenty of time and they did not honor it. On top of that, the person sent me lots of nasty texts. Do not use this company as they are not good!

It's beautiful to be out at dusk in a balmy wind, in an open vehicle, in the wilderness with all its evening animal sounds. Chances are good to observe nocturnal animals.

This was our very first experience with a game drive and then also in Sabi sands. Looking back now, this was one of the highlights of our holiday. What a beautiful experience this was! Our guide Stan was very nice from the first moment and has told us a lot. We are very grateful to him for this!

This tour started out from a pick up from Hazyview to take us 1.45 mins to the lodge to start this tour. The driver was nice but maybe said 20 words the whole time. I think it may have been a language barrier but at the same time that length of time is quite long in awkward silence. We were welcomed by the lodge with paperwork and a menu to pick our drinks for the half way snack/drink stop. We left on time with our guide barri who was great. You could tell his love for the animals and passion for his job. We sat with elephant for a while right next to us, saw rhino, giraffe, buffalo, a rare owl and other animals along the way. Right as we stopped for our drink/snacks a giant thunderstorm came and cut our trip short (no fault of the tour itself) ponchos were offered for our long drive back but we ended up back completely soaked and dripping wet. Since this was part of a luxury resort and we were only day guest we were immediately escorted to our cars. While the half operating umbrella was a nice gesture we were all completely sopping wet where we could ring our clothes that maybe a towel offered or an offer to use the restroom before we left would have been nice before getting into our transport to drive almost two hours home. We felt bad even getting into the car this wet. Again, another long silent drive home. All in all I think it would have been an excellent 5 star experience if the transportation to and from was a little more friendly and we didn’t feel herded out when it abruptly came to an end (again the weather not their fault). The stars didn’t completely align but would try again if we had time.

It's a great experience. You will be warmly welcomed and set off with an experienced guide and spotter in an open jeep.

The leopard welcomed us as soon as we started the game drive! Off-track driving was the best part. You can get close to the animas as much as you can, we were to get close with the rhino and successfully completed the big five! Coffee by the river was fantastic!

We booked for this cruise via parks who have done rights over the canyon cruises. No private cruises or yachts allowed. We went via swadini forever resorts entrance. We boarded full 30 seater. The weather suddenly took its own turn yet it was a perfectly fine overcast day. The winds picked up and the cold was unreal unreal. Luckily they gave us blankets. The canyon is so deep that the flatbed raft type attracted huge splash type waves picked up by the winds in the canyon on the water. As far as the views of the canyon it's amazing and historic a once in a lifetime visit right up to the dam wall. Amazing cracks, and different strata of rocks and formations. Small waterfalls in between, hippos and birds of all kinds. The tour guide had no dictaphone and with the noise of the engine of the craft his important information was totally lost. Lots of international tourists and sadly we do not cater for both locals and outside guests. No complementary water or information and viewpoint info as well Toilets were neat and tidy

A stunning day spent on the river with our guide Stan. Breathtaking scenery and an abundance of wildlife and fauna. A very enjoyable and knowledgeable guide made it all perfect.

We went with Mr. Stan to the Blyde River Boat Cruise & Moholoholo Center, let me just say that we had an amazing and a very memorable day, I recommend this trip and also the other trips provided by eyetravelafrica like the panorama route, and graskop Gorge to any travelers to South Africa.
