Wow! - I have never visited Manyoni before - what an amazing place! We saw so much, thanks to our brilliant guide Dylon. The camp staff were amazing, the whole experience was great. Would recommend to anyone from couple to groups. And of course Rambo HAS to be experienced - a fantastic beast!

Amazing experience you should not miss out!! - Everything was beyond incredible. Firstly, the booking process went very smoothly. Justin, the founder, accommodated our changing schedule and gave us clear explanations. The drive with Grant was perfect, very knowledgeable and interesting, we felt comfortable right away. We drove to the game reserve where we met Ivor. We jumped in his jeep safari vehicle with giraffs and zebras watching us already. The amazing thing is we could off road and go really close to the animals!! We had complete answers to every questions we had, and fun facts on every animal, plant, bird, insect we would spot. Everything is tailored to what you want to do and see. This is an absolute gem of an experience and you should not miss out! This is the least expensive Safari we did this far and by far the best one. We were just us two, the guides, surrounded by all the animals we could wish to see; hippos, lion, rhino, buffalos, giraffe, zebra, nyala, hyena!!

A unique experience - absolutely recommended! - What a great day in the Manyoni Game Reserve! It started with a well-organized transfer from the port in Richards Bay to the park. There we got into an open Toyota 4x4. We had expected to drive on roads, but it turned out much better. Our driver Mzamo not only drove us across the area, but also read the animals' tracks. Thanks to his experience, we found a family of eight lions and were able to observe them in peace - a dream come true! But also rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, etc., everything was there. And the best thing: we felt like we were the only people in the entire park. We didn't see a single other visitor - in all that time. So no mass tourism! An absolute recommendation! We were thrilled and would do it again anytime! Thank you Justin, thank you Wild Routes Africa team!

A perfect day to see a lot of animals in the South, far from the major parks and reserves in the North of the country - We saw almost all the animals we expected to see, including Rino with baby and lions. The guide gave information, not extraordinary, but sufficient. Consider this excursion the best experience of our journey to South Africa
