Everything was great. I had challenges paying with my US credit card (because of my bank, not their system) and Office manager was incredibly helpful and supportive through the process. Everything else went quite smoothly - I was picked up on time at both ends of the journey and felt comfortable along the way, the lodge itself was gorgeous with friendly and attentive staff and good food, the game preserve was beautiful and not crowded with jeeps at each animal sighting. It was a great experience and I never felt at all nervous as a solo travers.

Khimbini! You saved the day! After a last minute decision to visit Singita Lebombo, our car rental was cancelled just before we left for the airport. Between the lodge and Marula hill travel they managed to organize Vomba tours to take us to the lodge. Not only was it a very comfortable ride for the 90 kms to the lodge with water and snacks, we also got a free ‘Safari’ as Khimbini was a qualified guide for 22 years!! He speaks a beautiful fluent English that makes him sound ‘international’ !! Well and soft spoken with an enormous knowledge of the bush and surrounds Definitely use your company again!! Thank you!!

Your guide, Steven Kelly, makes this a truly unique and once in a lifetime experience. Steven has over 8 years experience working hands on with Africa's apex predators including Lions, Leopards, Cheetah, Hyena and Wild Dogs. It was only after Steven met his childhood hero Mad Mike who turned Steven's passion for captive animals into educating people on the importance of WILD LIFE! Steven gave up his career in the captive industry as a big cat handler to take you out to go and witness Lions do what they do best - rule the open Savannah and all that inhabit it. He will keep you entertained with his stories and also has the luck of the Irish when it comes to spotting Lions, and was the only tour operator in Pilanesberg to have 100% success rate in locating lions in 2018. Steven has hosted some of South Africa biggest celebrities on tour due to his reputation as the little lion man - a nick name given to him by South Africas Biggest Rock Band - the Parlotones.

If there is anything you absolutely must have done in life, it’s a safari with the little lion man, Steve Kelly. What a unique experience, awesome, thrilling. You will never be closer to wild animals you’ll never feel safer around them. This guy is reading the animals like an open book. I have been on several safaris in many countries, never have I experienced anything like it. You will look in the lion’s eyes and - as Steve says - he is reading your thoughts! I felt totally safe, although I could have stroked the lioness through the open window. And there is this crazy guy next to you: "don't close the window, you're safe, she won't jump..." Simply incredible! You’ll share the nervous anxiety of the nearby impala, you'll admire the rare wild dogs (only 4 left in the park - hilarious, we saw 2 of them!) You’ll laugh at the little cheetah punks - and you’ll hope that the last dinosaur will not overturn your vehicle - with Steven next to you “don’t worry about rhino boy - he’s just curious...” hoping the rhino knows it too! Steven’s passion for the animals, his excitement, his joy, they are so real, so genuine, you can’t help being taken in. We were on 5 game drives with him, he had arranged for absolutely everything, from the perfect accommodation at the nearby Kingdom Resort to snack and water bottle. And all this at a more than fair price. Shame we were his last customers, after our visit, everything was closed due to Corona. But we will be back, for sure!

Stephen was the BEST tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals & the park itself. We had a very fun small group & were able to see many different types of animals. Stephen provided us with extra perks like the Lion & Wild dog feedings and the Wonder Mine. The Wonder Mine was an unexpected occurance I didn’t know I had been missing! It was beautiful and unreal. Everything about the day was great; from the giraffe and Springbok, to the baby warthogs (so adorable) and the wildebeest! Every single part of this trip was nothing short of amazing! Thank you Stephen for your warm smile and knowledge of the park, animals, & Jozi in general. I will definitely share your info with my travel group! I wish you much success in the future - you truly, truly deserve it!

We did the Soweto and Johannesburg tour in November. Henry was great. We drove past some of the Jewish sites, but the highlight was touring Soweto and just talking to Henry about his experience growing up during Apartheid. The Apartheid museum is not be missed, I just wished we had more time there. Mandela was an incredible leader and it was inspiring to learn about him. And the Soweto tour was eye-opening. We live a charmed, privileged existence and to see the friendliness and open attituded of the residents of Soweto was very impactful to remind me of how lucky we are. We enjoyed our tour with Henry and he even helped us with a minor medical issue. So I highly recommend the tour for those wanting to see Johannesburg and highly recommend Henry and Catz Tours.
