    Bubezi Safaris...an experience of a lifetime!

    Stop......if you wish to travel to Kruger National Park, you MUST contact Bubezi Tours to help you have an extraordinary experience. From top to bottom, they developed a week's itinerary that frankly was a trip of a lifetime. We were picked up at the airport by Willie, and he became our transportation companion throughout our stay. We enjoyed his company so much and learning about South African history and culture that we invited him for dinner nearly every night while enjoying many restaurants in the Hazyview area. Willie also was the tour guide on a daylong panoramic tour of the Blyde River Canyon (3rd largest canyons in the world), the Three Rondavels mountain range, and the Graskop Gorge. What an incredible complement to the safaris. Of course, the highlight of the tours (in addition to eating chicken livers with Peri Peri spices and beautiful South African wines), was the safaris. Lwazi was our expert guide, and man was he an incredible tracker, driver, and a genuinely marvelous person.....great sense of humor, for sure! We were in the hunt for the BIG 5, and while the only Rhinoceros we located was in the gift shop, we saw so many animals including lions, elephants, buffalo, leopard, giraffes, hyenas, wild dogs, warthogs, hippopotami, bucks, zebra, kudu, wildebeests, antelopes, mongooses, monkeys, baboons, skinks, crocodiles, a water monitor, a leopard tortoise, and gobs of impala. And then, there were the beautiful birds, including ostriches, storks, southern ground hornbill, doves, starlings, and rollers. Actually, there was so much more... As a last minute request, Bubezi arranged for us to have a walk in the bush with two armed rangers. You just have to do this!! You do the safaris in a private open-air vehicle, and you search for the animals even in open fields. It seems sometimes that for several miles there are no animals......this is not at all true. While we walked with the rangers, I promise you, there was poop everywhere......those animals roam nearly every inch of the 77,000 square kilometer park. Yes, you start discerning animals by their "food trails!" - ha. With the rangers, we encounter two bull elephants that quickly stared us down. We always had to remember that these are wild animals capable of charging us in a second. I would be remiss if I didn't say that this staff under the owner, Andy, is a terrific team. Andy greeted us personally a few times, and he was the glue that made our safari adventure as seamless as possible. I travel a lot, and Bubezi made organizing this trip easy and with care. Just FYI, we sandwiched the safari experience between 3 days in Johannesburg and the same in Capetown. A wonderful journey.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your very kind words I will pass on to all the staff, it is much appreciated thanks

    Amazing Uganda

    The entire excursion was amazing, we did game drives, as well as boat rides that were awesome because we got to see so many wild animals. The gorilla trekking was my favorite as well as the chimpanzee trekking. Andy, Lwazi and Milton were amazing tour guides, they have so much knowledge about the area, animal behavior and all the different species we got to experience. I fully recommend this tour company, it is an unforgettable experience.

    Response from the operator: We are so glad that you had such an amazing tour. Thank you for the kind words.

    Exceptional Safari Experience!

    A short review will not be able to do justice to our personal safari experience, but we will try :) Two things are readily apparent from spending any time at all with Andy (and his team at Bubezi Safaris): #1 Andy and his team care deeply about their customers' experience and do everything in their power to ensure it is the trip of a lifetime and #2 Andy and his team are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about all aspects of the bush, wildlife, plant life, and Kruger Park itself. Andy was our private guide on our honeymoon and provided us with a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not only is he an expert guide and tracker, but he is truly a part of the history of Kruger Park itself through his experience, philanthropic efforts, and continued engagement/involvement. Every portion of our trip was meticulously planned, well executed, and completely stress-free. Beyond the wildlife sightings (of which we saw it all and more: Big 5 + cheetahs, rare birds, other big cats, etc.) each sight or monument Andy showed us was more meaningful that the next. Andy continuously demonstrated his deep knowledge (he is a real-life encyclopedia!), and passion the park and wildlife while entertaining us with his sense of humor and endless repertoire of stories from the bush. He was also happy to go on any number of game drives, especially if we wanted to spend some extra time to continue to find more wildlife, or just take in the scenery. We are lucky to have spent such a wonderful time with Andy in his happy place. If you are going on safari, you owe it to yourself, your friends, and travel partners to book with Bubezi. You will not regret a second of your time - except that you have to eventually leave. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts Andy - we hope we get to travel with you again soon. We are forever grateful for the extra care and effort to make our time in the bush so special. Phil + Nicole

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the very kind words and review it is very much appreciated

    Amazing, once in a livetime thanks to Andy and his team.

    It was amazing, Andy and his team went full out to give us an ultimate experience. They literally pushed to get us front seat to maximize the game spotting. We got them all even more wild hounds. Top team, top safari guides. Even I camp they did there outmost to get us the best service.

    Response from the operator: We are so glad that you enjoyed the day we will share your review with the guide thanks once again

    4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.

    How much does 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,826 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pretoria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pretoria is not rushed.

    Is 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Pretoria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pretoria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pretoria and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pretoria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Pretoria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pretoria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto Cultural Walking Tour with Lunch, Guided Bicycle Tour of Soweto with Lunch, Johannesburg and Soweto tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Pretoria?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Pretoria?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour?

    +

    Included: Transfers from JHB & back, Transport during the tour, Accommodation, Entrance fees, Bottle; and Guides. Not included: All meals & Drinks International flights, Tips, Personal items, Beverages, extra activitie. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is 4 Day Bubezi Classic Safari & Panoramic Tour offered in?

    +

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
