Safari Life is highly recommended for a worry-free safari!

We booked a 4D3N stay in Sabi Sands and Kruger and it was an efficient, flawless, and stress-free coordination with Safari Life c/o Rochelle. She offered options to go with our budget until we came to the end result which offered us the most value for money. Safari Life made all the arrangements including our pick up and return to Johannesburg in a comfortable car. Our accommodations at Umkumbe River Lodge and Langa Langa Safari Camp are comfortable and secure. Umkumbe in particular offered light breakfast and sundowners during game drives which made the experience extra special. The food in both accommodations are superb, the staff so kind, and our game drive guides so knowledgeable especially Thomas in Langa Langa. Most important to note, we saw the Big 5 in this part of the Greater Kruger area in such a short stay! Rochelle who was our main contact with Safari Life has been very accommodating, flexible, and proactive in communicating arrangements. I truly appreciate that I felt her assistance and care from start to finish.

I highly recommend booking with this tour company!

Reliable and supportive

Had an unforgettable experience in Kruger and Sabi Sand with my kids. Many thank to Rochelle for the excellent organization and support

★★★★★ 5/5

Rochelle always responded quickly whenever I had a question.

That Safari was amazing. We saw the big five and the experience was simply incredible. I’m very glad that I booked through SafariLife. Rochelle handled every all of the details. She always responded quickly throughout the process as I had several questions and needed clarification on some things. She made sure that everything was clear. The reservation and the transportation was all taken care of. Everything was handled from the time I arrived until the time I got on my flight to go home. I would definitely book with SafariLife again.

★★★★★ 5/5

Rochelle planned a flawless trip for me!

I didn’t do a lot of research myself, this safari was an afterthought add-on to my trip to SA for the Sardine Run. I made a few inquiries to different operators and Rochelle answered me right away. Her communication through the entire planning and booking process was excellent. She always answered my questions quickly and provided lots of details.

She put together an itinerary that matched my budget and gave me some variation with game drives in Kruger National Park as well as Sabi Sands. I’m really pleased I did both, they were quite different from each other and both very good experiences.

All the transportation between Johannesburg and the lodges as well as between lodges went perfectly smoothly as planned.

As a solo traveler that usually does everything on my own, it was a welcomed break to have someone else do all the organizing! I felt very well taken care of.
