What our guests say about Nelia

March 28, 2024
Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.
Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.
March 5, 2024
Safari.com and Nelia go above and beyond
Nelia at Safari.Com made everything so easy to navigate and book. She has been amazing putting up with all my questions and always promptly responds. She has gone above and beyond to assist with my travel plans and requests. So very thankful and excited I found her at Safari.com. Cannot wait for the trip!

Pascal is a travel angel! Highly recommend him.
We started planning for our safari trip contacting a bunch of different travel advisors but Pascal's service truly stood out to us as the best in the industry. He took care of planning everything from start to finish for our very last minute honeymoon trip (literally a month out and during the busiest safari season). He is extremely meticulous and very responsive to our 100 questions. He shared first hand experiences at each of the different lodges, personal pictures and gave us solid recommendations within our budget. He hopped on a call with us initially to explain all the differences to us first time safari goers, and continued to be very flexible and patient with us as we couldn't decide! We are very excited for our trip and cannot thank Pascal enough for being our first interaction on our upcoming trip.

Wonderful experience with Safari.com
Wonderful experience with Safari.com. My Safari Agent, Dolan, has 20+ years of experience in booking a memorable safari. He guided me in picking the right lodging and safari within my budget. He offered several options and answered all my questions. His response time was fast, regardless of the international time difference, and we were able to make quick decisions. Highly recommend.

How to Make the Most of Your Safari Experience

Hot Air Balloon Safari | Photo by Sun International

No matter how many times you go on safari, no two experiences will be the same.

There’s nothing quite like an authentic South African safari experience. At Sun International’s Sun City Resort , you can experience the Big Five without having to travel too far from the luxury of your hotel . Whether you are a seasoned traveler who has seen the Big Five so many times that you count them as friends, or a nature-loving novice, each safari adventure is guaranteed to be unique and special.

Here’s our handy guide to making the most of your safari or game drive adventure.

There’s a Season for Everything

No one can argue that the savannahs don’t look picture-perfect during the wet season. However, if you are interested in spotting animals, then consider enjoying your safari vacation during the dry season. In the dry season it is easier to spot animals as the usually lush vegetation dries out revealing some of the animals’ favorite hiding places. Also, thirsty animals are likely to gather around the watering holes for extended periods during the dry season.

Did you know?  In southern Africa the dry season runs from May until October.

The Early Bird Catches the Worm… and the Wildlife

It might be hard to convince yourself to set your alarm and wake up early when you are supposed to be relaxing on holiday, but do it anyway. Sunrise safari game drives are an excellent opportunity to see a variety of wild animals, especially those that are notoriously reclusive. Still having a hard time convincing yourself? Well, think of it this way, on a safari holiday, you have the opportunity to experience the life of the lion – active in the morning and evening, and resting and relaxing during the afternoon.

Did you know?  Lethargic lions can sleep up to 20 hours a day.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Binoculars-holder

Invest in a quality pair of binoculars and marvel at the details that aren’t always obvious to the naked eye. Also, great for bird watching, as binoculars help you to identify different species of birds.

Did you know?  The Pilanesberg Game Reserve adjacent to Sun City is over 500km².

Safety First!

Although some of the animals may look cute and furry, remember that the animals are wild and potentially dangerous, albeit extremely photogenic! To keep safe, don’t make too much noise and respect your surrounds. To keep the animals safe, reconsider geo-tagging your photos. Poachers have been known to make use of the geo-tags in their hunting.

Did you know?  The Pilanesberg Game Reserve is the only game reserve set in an alkaline ring complex, there are only three such ring complexes in the world.

Silence is Golden

Remember to be courteous to others and keep chatting (and camera sound effects) to a minimum when enjoying a serene game drive. Revel in the silence, press the mute button and most importantly, be mindful not to focus too much on getting the perfect photo. While photos are memories that last forever, remember to be in the moment and to appreciate the beauty beyond the lens.

Take note(s)! It might be difficult to believe that you could ever forget the names of the incredible wild animals that you encounter on your game drive, keep a notebook just in case. That way, you won’t have to subject your family to endless albums of wildlife photos vaguely titled “some bucks and other creatures”.

See the Bush from a New and Exciting Perspective

Exploring the African bush on a safari adventure is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Make the most of your limited time by enjoying all of the safari options available to Sun International guests.

With Sun International, your amazing safari adventure is not limited to game drives, guests of Sun City Resort can discover their wild side with safari options including:

  • Airtrackers hot air balloon safaris
  • Quad bike adventure safaris

FAQs about Sun City Adventure and Pilanesberg Safari

  • Safari lodges have guest rooms similar to a hotel with en-suite bathrooms. They are comfortably furnished with facilities normally associated with a hotel rooms, except your rooms are normally set in beautiful wilderness settings, with nature and wildlife around.
  • Tented lodges have rooms which are tents on a platform and with a roof and also have en-suite facilities with showers, flush toilets and hot water. Basically all the amenities of a hotel room, except canvas walls and roof.
  • The boutique lodges and camps can be very stylish and smart in terms of design and decor, often with very spacious rooms and even going so far in some cases as having plunge pools for each room.
  • Eco-camps and smaller tented camps have insect-proof tents with en-suite facilities including a safari shower and flush toilet.  They give a more authentic safari experience but the tents are comfortably furnished with proper beds and you don’t need to bring your own sleeping bag! The emphasis is usually on having excellent guides and great wildlife viewing away from the crowds. Guests often eat together and people travelling alone usually say that they found the atmosphere friendly and enjoyed meeting other like-minded travellers around the campfire in the evening or at dinner.
  • The Adventure Camps are a budget option with guests bringing their own sleeping bags and towels. Accommodation is in small dome tented with a mattress on the floor. Each tent has its own nearby cubicle with a flush toilet, safari shower, and wash basin. The Adventure Camps are suitable only for those who don’t mind “real camping” and can put with some degree of “roughing it”. Apart from the accommodation in simple dome tents, the meals and the guiding are the same standards as the higher quality camps and game drives are in 4x4 safari vehicles. For those on a limited budget, the Adventure Camps are a good alternative to the big tourist lodges and minibus tours for those for whom the safari experience is more important than hotel accommodation.
  • All game reserves in Madikwe, the Pilanesberg and the Eastern Cape are malaria-free.
  • Parents who are travelling with their child but not their spouse and those who wish to send their child on a trip accompanied by someone other than a parent or unaccompanied require an unabridged birth certificate. (It does not affect those travelling within South Africa.)
  • An Unabridged certificate is a certificate that reflects the particulars of both parents of the child. All children born in South Africa after 14 March 2013 were issued with a valid unabridged birth certificate automatically and free of charge.
  • Everyone born before that and those from countries who do not automatically issue an unabridged certificate must apply for the document well before their travel date.
  • The application process for Unabridged Birth Certificate are as follow; You can apply at your nearest Home Affairs office where your Biometric information will be varied. You will need your ID book along as well as your child’s ID number.
  • All documents submitted must be originals or certified copies. The Unabridged Birth Certificate costs R75. It can take up to eight weeks to acquire an Unabridged Birth Certificate from the date of application.
  • Family safaris are a worthwhile and meaningful experience. Aside from spending quality time with your nearest and dearest under a wide blue African sky, a safari offers invaluable experiences including unique cultural experiences, memorable wildlife sightings, and the opportunity to learn more about nature.
  • Some areas won’t suit the family and it's also wise to be aware of malaria in others, however, South Africa has a few malaria-free safari locations and there are other safari lodges and bush camps throughout Africa that cater to young children and toddlers, just do the research beforehand.

Sun City & Safari

The best time to visit sun city.

Set on the edge of the Kalahari, Sun City sits under blue skies for most of the year. The super-dry May to October period is generally seen as the best time to visit Sun City, especially if you are planning to add a Big 5 safari at nearby Madikwe Game Reserve or the Kruger Park. This is when game viewing is at its easiest and the weather at its most comfortable. Note that June and July bring cold weather to Sun City – you’ll need to wrap up well in the evening and on morning game drives.

The November to April summer season delivers most of Sun City’s annual rain, often in the form of afternoon thunderstorms. It’s the hottest time of year with temperatures often in the early 30s °C. It’s also when Sun City is at its most popular, especially during the Christmas and Easter holidays.

TOP EXPERIENCES

From the very first contact we’re very happy about the respond time and quality of information from safari-online.com. Based on the received first tailor-made quote, which is a weblink with all the details about the flights, photos of the lodges etc. we knew that this is “our” partner for this trip. Our expectations were excelled!!!

Would highly recommend. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver.  We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!

We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved. Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately……..no evasive tactics, always head-on!

Our 28-day itinerary took us to South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. A magnificent and unforgettable adventure. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently from the flights, transfers, rides, connections, etc. Absolutely wonderful! Can’t thank them enough!

Safari Online understood our needs and was able to present us with sensible options to choose from. It was evident that this tour operator has knowledgable and experienced agents who can arrange a seemless tour. We were provided with a professional online itinary which was comprehensive and easy to use, knew exactely what to expect, and encountered no stumble blocks along the way.

Excellent service and they supplied good suggestions for our holiday they also organised all internal flights and arranged check in for us so we had no worries while on holiday. We have had a most memorable holiday staying at wonderful places thanks to Sabrina and Safari Online. Would recommend Safari Online to organise your holiday.

Our mom grew up in Central and South Africa so we had visited the continent many times. My sister and I wanted to take our teens and husbands to Africa to experience the magic. We had a limited budget but big and specific expectations and by some miracle Walter was able to manage both.

Communication was excellent – I asked A LOT of questions and did a ton of research myself and Walter was extremely patient with me and very responsive. he was straight forward and extremely professional. Tour itself was excellent – an incredible experience and one never to be forgotten. Everything was spot on.

Safari Online have been nothing but professional and incredible from the time we made our first enquiry to the last day of our stunning holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for Walter. We are now starting to plan our next family Safari for 2019. Guess who we will be booking with??? Safari Online we hope you are ready!!!!!
