"Top verblijf, top personeel, top game drives!"

10.0

Mooie locatie Zeer goede game drives, top tracker Oliver en guide Jason ! Fijne kijkspot Goed eten Super vriendelijk personeel Ons beste verblijf in Zuid Afrika !

Douche was minder comfortabel, vanwege dat je moest aangeven dat je warm water wou hebben en dan gingen ze dat vullen waardoor er ook weinig druk was.

"Mooiste ervaring uit ons leven!"

10.0

Alles!! Wat een geweldige ervaring was dit. We zullen het nooit vergeten. We hebben zo veel gezien tijdens de game drives, samen met de spotter, chauffeur en field guide. Ze wisten ons alles te vertellen en kenden alle dieren in het gebied. Het eten was geweldig lekker, uitzicht super mooi. Ons hoogtepunt was dat er 2 dagen een olifant water kwam drinken vlak voor de tent. Wauw! Dankjewel voor alle lieve zorgen, het ontbrak ons aan niks!!

Niets, het was geweldig. Tip is om warme kleding mee te nemen

"Small, secluded camp with lots of animal sightings."

8.0

The breakfast by the river on the last day was a nice bonus. We saw giraffes across the river! The tracker was fantastic and the food was very good. The tents were clean and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to be in an area that wasn't busy. We only saw a few other jeeps during our stay.

It would have been nice to have some variety in the morning pre-game drive and sunrise snack.

"The highs were high and the lows were low."

7.0

- 2 game drives per day included - all food included was good - the pool area was great, we got to see elephants 10m in front of us at the waterhole 2/3 days we stayed there. - tour guides were great

- the game drive vehicles were not fitted with radios and so if any other cars in the park spotted animals we were unable to contact anyone or receive any updates, this made it extremely hard for our rangers to find the big 5. - Bundox is located in a private reserve, and they are not allowed to travel outside of their reserve, but animals are allowed to. There is only 1 pride of lions in this park and the entire time we stayed there they were in another reserve so we didn’t get to see lions. - Out of the big 5 we only saw 2 animals! (The elephants we saw everyday, and we saw 1 rhino, we did spot a leopard but it was night time and it was very very far away) a lot of other vehicles in our area did see the big 5 because they were able to talk to each other on the radios. So this was very disappointing. - the beers and other beveridges at the small bar were never very cold either, I got used to drink room temperature beer by the end of it, as they kept turning the fridge off to save power.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Out of all our stays through our South Africa trip, this was the best experience of them all! The staff was exceptional. We had the best time on our morning and afternoon game drives. Having breakfast near the river where Hippos were sleeping, or snacks at a waterhole with a huge elephant family. We made the best memories. As an addition they took fantastic care of us, gluten-free meals were no problem at all.

"Special stay at Bundox"

8.0

Bundox is a special place. We were picked up from the airport and as it was our first time in Kruger, didn't know what to expect. The drive took us to the 'camp' which consists of 4 tents plus facilities for the team that live on site and common areas like the kitchen/dining area and pool/lounge area. Just after our arrival we spotted an elephant that came drinking from the water hole just in front of the lounge area which was a great first encounter with the wildlife in the camp. We stayed 3 nights and did the 2 safari's each day. At 4 hours each a lot of time is spent in the jeep looking for wildlife but it was definitely worth it as we were able to tick off 4 of the big 5. The female chef is excellent and the manager of the camp extremely accommodating and friendly and we had an amazing time there and can highly recommend Bundox. The camp fire evening and surprise breakfast at elephant river were nice touches.

We found the ranger a little annoying as he really followed his own agenda during the game drives, instead of listening to us and to find out what we were looking for. The female 'spotter' was not very friendly and this combination of both marred our game drive experience. Also the drive back to the airport in an open vehicle at 80/100km an hour was not a pleasant experience and once again showed the disconnect the female spotter/driver had with us (guests). Don't expect pressure showers in your tent!
