Our trip to Cape Town and the Kruger National Park area was amazing!!! We first started in Cape Town and our transport driver, Leon Witz, was so cool. He took us wine tasting, to the Cape of Good Hope, to see the penguins, and lastly to go whale watching. Leon is super knowledgeable about the area, and since this was our first time in Cape Town, it was amazing to have a guide that knew so much about the local area. This was also my (now) fiancée’s and I engagement trip, and it was really fun to celebrate with Leon afterwards! He got us a bottle of champagne to celebrate! 🍾 🥂🎉
After Cape Town, we flew up to the Kruger National Park area to stay at Tangala Camp. The employees and managers at Tangala, particularly, Reason and Louis, were awesome! The managers, Johan and Madeleine, were also super nice and very accommodating. We saw a bunch of wild animals (painted wolves, hyena, leopard, lions, etc), and the driver/spotters knew everything about the animals and answered everyone’s questions. The camp is small with <20 people staying there, so we made friends with the other visitors in our car. The houses are really neat; they’re thatch roof style cabins that were fun to stay in. There are also various antelope that wander through the camp, which was fun to see.
Overall, we had an amazing experience with KimKim, and will definitely be booking again with them in the future. For other trips, we have generally always booked everything ourselves, but KimKim trips are a great combo of independent travel that is still flexible while also helping with the booking and coordinating logistics. Finally, we also had a very positive experience with the local agent, Steph, who did a great job planning everything and picking out activities for us. I appreciated her attention to details and organization of the trip. Thanks all again!
