Explore the best of the Greater Kruger National Park; the Timbavati and Umbabat Nature Reserve’s unspoilt 18 000 hectares.

The focus is about sharing incredibly intimate spaces with the animals and imparting a connection that one cannot explain with words. Motswari Geiger’s Camp is within the Timbavati which shares an unfenced border with the legendary Kruger and so the game viewing on offer at Geiger’s Camp is second to none. The Big Five is a common sight for the greater part and this is possibly the next best place in South Africa after the Sabi Sands to enjoy leopard sightings. Motswari’s guides are renowned for their quality and they’ll do their utmost to get you right up the very best sightings.

Game drives are hosted twice daily, in the morning (coffee is provided to chase away the early-morning tiredness) and again around sunset

I am giving below my feedback about all aspect of the trip from 24th May to 5th June, 2016.

a) Accommodation at Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Skukuza Rest Camp, Kruger National Park and Cape Town was well located with comfortable rooms as per our requirements.

b) Transfers and Tours at all places was on time and we did have not much of a problem.

c) Flights booked for various places were on time and we were able to maintain our schedule.

d) Two Dinner arrangements at Johannesburg and Cape Town was satisfactory. I have only following comments which if amended will help other travelers.

1) Guide at Victoria Falls was not very helpful. We had to spend some funds to cross the Bridge by walk. I am not sure why this was not included.

2) Kruger National Park – Safari timing during Morning and evening appears to be on fixed irrespective of seasonal variation. This resulted lots of time in movement in darkness which was a waste. This can be easily rectified if Kruger National Park changes Safari timings as per Sun rise and Sun set.

3) Wine Tour at Cape Town should have been included. You ultimately accommodated us at an extra cost. I once again like to convey my sincere gratitude and thanks to you and Discover Africa for arranging this wonderful trip for eight Senior Citizens from India and UK having ages 70+.

I shall definitely recommend Discover Africa and particularly you whenever any of my family and friends plans trip to South Africa and nearby countries.
