My husband and I came here for our honeymoon, and had the most incredible experience! The cottages at the Windmill Resort are adorable and spotlessly clean. Every staff member we interacted with was attentive and friendly. Our safari guide, Jay, was super fun and knowledgeable! He managed to find great viewing spots and taught us a ton about the area and the animals themselves. We enjoyed his sense of humor, and we saw really incredible wildlife during our safaris with him. The food was great, and overall utter was a magical experience. Best. Vacation. Ever.We had the most amazing 4 days with Sammi as our tour guide. From the moment he picked us up from OR Tambo airport to when he dropped us off at our accommodation after the tour, he was friendly, informative and so very helpful.

We had the most amazing 4 days with Sammi as our tour guide. From the moment he picked us up from OR Tambo airport to when he dropped us off at our accommodation after the tour, he was friendly, informative and so very helpful. The only animal he didn't find for us in the Kruger was a cheetah - bonus points for 4 leopards and 2 lions in the first 2 hours of the last day :). Overall, the tour was one of a lifetime. The accommodation was fantastic, food wonderful, and we had an amazing time. Thanks to African Budget Tours for their help.We did the 4D3N Kruger and Panaromic Tour Experience. Due to our flight schedule, we had to change the itinerary of the trip and Danielle/Amy kindly accommodated our requests. We were given an upgrade to our room with private candle light dinner.

We did the 4D3N Kruger and Panaromic Tour Experience. Due to our flight schedule, we had to change the itinerary of the trip and Danielle/Amy kindly accommodated our requests. We were given an upgrade to our room with private candle light dinner. What a great way to enjoy our honeymoon. Our guide, Jayden entertained us throughout and was very knowledgable about the safaris and behaviours of the animals. Caught the big five and many other animals up close. Guess the point in spending so much to go to a safari is because each trip will definitely be different. There is always the anticipation of possibility spotting an interesting sight, the disappointment and frustration when you missed something and the satisfaction when you see something out of the blue. The leopard and the lions were just meters away from us. The panaromic tour would have been better if not for the fog. We managed to see half of what was planned. On our last morning safari before departure, we were treated to a big surprise; a pack of wild dogs along S1 towards Phabeni gate. Totally enjoyed ourselves and it was an unforgettable experience for my wife and I.We had the most extraordinary time with Shinzelle Safaris. Everything was very well-organized and ran extremely smoothly. The staff was beyond friendly and professional, and the food was DELICIOUS!

We had the most extraordinary time with Shinzelle Safaris. Everything was very well-organized and ran extremely smoothly. The staff was beyond friendly and professional, and the food was DELICIOUS! For a first-timer coming to SA and doing a safari, they really take care of everything. The room/accomodation was great (comfortable, had everything we needed, clean). And of course - the safaris we went on were so much fun! Thanks so much to everyone, next time we come to Kruger we will be coming back to Shinzelle! :)If you are looking for an affordable way to visit Kruger Park, this is your answer.

If you are looking for an affordable way to visit Kruger Park, this is your answer. Would highly recommend their services to anyone. Danielle was very friendly and was ready to answer any of our questions from booking to during our stay. If you do have the time for the panoramic day tour, please do not miss it as they take you to visit some amazing views of the area. Packed breakfast were very good and dinner was even better (with a lovely surprise of having 2 of them set in our terrace). Our package included airport transfers, bfast and dinner, and daily tours and thus we did not have to think of anything else whilst there - except keep a look out for the animals during the safari (also managed very good sighting of 4 of the BIG 5 thanks to our tour guide).It is tough to put in words how amazing our experience with Shinzelle Safaris was. From the beginning planning stages, to the transport from Johannesburg to our lodge, our food, and then to the outstanding safari - everything was planned perfectly and was beyond our expectations!

It is tough to put in words how amazing our experience with Shinzelle Safaris was. From the beginning planning stages, to the transport from Johannesburg to our lodge, our food, and then to the outstanding safari - everything was planned perfectly and was beyond our expectations! My husband and I instantly felt a connection with Dani and Brandon, and had many great chats and lots of laughs! They are such a fantastic couple, their passion for the African animals and the nature is outstanding and their zest for life is infectious!! :) We did the 4 day safari with the panoramic tour and loved every minute. We love listening to Brandon explain everything, from the majestic animals to the trees, plants etc. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great story teller! If you are looking for a Safari in Kruger - you have found it!! My only regret is that we didn't stay for a month! :) We LOVED it!!
