点评:I was going to South Africa to help Animal Defenders International at their big cat rescue facility as a veterinarian. I brought a friend along who had never been to Africa. We had both worked with all species before and I wanted her to do a safari. I only gave Safari Venture a few months notice and I wanted to go glamping NOT camping....those days are gone!! I have been all over Africa but never on safari in SA.
I was totally surprised how quickly and thoroughly they pieced together stays at three different lodges within Kruger. Each had a different topography and different types of lodging. They were all inclusive for meals safari etc with wonderful food and very attentive staff in each place.
We started at NThambo Tree Camp.....they had raised tents with balconies to watch wildlife from our tent. The guides were great and we saw almost every animal possible...but they did see a pangolin the day before!!
We went from there to Nyala Lodge which was our favorite.....we had our own building with heat and AC, on the river, great food and a swimming pool. They had a better safari truck also with a top and more comfortable seats. Once again, we saw everything possible including a small lake with hippos and elephants at the same time!! I would highly recommend them.
We went last to Moditio . They accommodations were great, on the river, pool, good food etc. But the brush was so dense it was often hard to see the animals. We did see elephants, lions , hippos etc but the numbers were much smaller because of the topography.
Safari Ventures thought of everything and we were always met by a driver etc wherever we were. They were also available for calls from around me with any questions....even on a late Sunday night. I will be recommending them to anyone who wants to have all the work done for them and just relax and have a lifetime adventure .
翻译:我当时要去南非,以兽医的身份协助国际动物保护组织(Animal Defenders International)的大型猫科动物救助中心。我带了一位从未去过非洲的朋友同行。我们之前都接触过各种动物,我想让她体验一次精彩的野生动物之旅。我只提前几个月通知了Safari Venture旅行社,而且我想要的是豪华露营,而不是普通的露营……那种日子已经一去不复返了!我去过非洲各地,但从未在南非体验过野生动物之旅。
他们安排我们在克鲁格国家公园内三个不同营地的住宿如此迅速周到,让我感到非常惊喜。每个营地的地形和住宿类型都各不相同。所有费用都包含在内,包括餐饮、野生动物观赏等等,而且食物美味,每个营地的工作人员都非常热情周到。
我们的第一站是NThambo树屋营地……那里有带阳台的高架帐篷,我们可以从帐篷里观赏野生动物。向导们非常棒,我们几乎看到了所有能看到的动物……但他们前一天还看到了穿山甲!
之后我们去了尼亚拉旅馆(Nyala Lodge),这是我们最喜欢的地方……我们住在河边一栋带暖气和空调的独立建筑里,食物很棒,还有游泳池。他们的越野车也更好,有顶棚,座椅也更舒适。我们再次看到了各种各样的动物,包括一个河马和大象同时出现的小湖!我强烈推荐他们。
最后我们去了莫迪蒂奥(Moditio)。那里的住宿条件很棒,就在河边,有游泳池,食物也不错等等。但是灌木丛太茂密了,经常很难看到动物。我们确实看到了大象、狮子、河马等等,但是由于地形的原因,数量少了很多。
Safari Ventures公司考虑得非常周到,无论我们在哪里,都会有司机接我们。他们也随时接听我周围的电话,解答我的任何问题……即使是周日晚上很晚。我会把他们推荐给任何想要省去所有麻烦,放松身心,享受一生难忘的探险之旅的人。
