We had an amazing experience with Jayamandi Adventures. Our guide, Jordan, was excellent, and his calm, kind nature and savanna knowledge made us excited for this unique adventure. Sleeping in the heart of the savanna on a raised platform was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with unparalleled stargazing and the thrilling sounds of lions roaring in the distance. The sunset tours, lunch around a campfire on the river, and exhilarating drives added to the unforgettable itinerary. Greater Kruger National Park is a special place, less commercial than the main park, and with a good guide, we witnessed the big 5 and even wild dogs. Thanks to Jayamandi for this extraordinary safari!
