Our 5 Day Classic Kruger Park Safari was a wonderful journey. We arrived quite late in the morning due to our international flight from Paris and we retained a special transfer to Kruger Park. The driver Aderto was waiting for us at the airport and was very friendly during the entire road to the Park. We eventually got into the Park before the night. Then at Skukuza camp, Moss picked us up for a dinner prepared by Chef Zenzi. During all the stay we enjoyed the excellent food in company of many fine people coming from many different countries. The day after, the heavy rains had generated flood and most unpaved road were closed. Nevertheless, all the guides did their best to fulfil the expectation of our group. On several occasions, or guide was Debbie, passionate about wildlife, sharing her passion and her knowledge of the park. She is also an accomplished artist in painting wildlife. She was always taking care of staying long enough to accommodate our group during the photo shooting. We saw many beautiful scenes of big or small animals, both of equal respect for Debbie. We also appreciated much the kindness of Jarrett who has recently joined the team.Walking safari at dawn and night safari were also a must. When it was time to drive back to the airport, the driver chose a longer road through the park and we were able to see a hearse of elephant bathing. These 5 days in Kruger were an unforgettable experience, plenty of encounters of great people and beautiful animals, fine food and an excellent organisation and the kindness of all the team.

We stayed at Skukuza park for 4 nights. All that time we were looked after by Outlook safaris. They cooked our meals and they looked after us during game drives. Great people! The trackers are very enthusiastic and it is obvious that they love their jobs. They gave us one of the best vacations!

Outlook Safaris did excellent job; we had a superb holiday in South Africa. In less than five days we managed to see more than 80 different spices in the Kruger National Park. There were several professional guides, but our favorite was Johannes Mogotsi.Chef Bright Ndlovy was able to create delicious breakfasts, brunches and dinners in the Outlook's tent restaurant, located in the lodge village.All the staff members were kind, helpful, precise, effective and nice.We have already planned also the next winter holidays to take place in Kruger - and of course -organised by Outlook Safaris.

We were blown away by the experience. All of the guides know what their stuff and they love doing it. It is very clear they have a passion for the animals. We got to see the Big 5 and more. We were mainly with Johannes during our adventure and he was an amazing guy to be around, but the whole crew is really something. Dirk & Johannes really have a cool friendly competition going where they both want to see the most when they go out on trips. This not only helps you see more animals, but it makes it really fun. Then when you come back from your safari trip and you settle into camp, Brite (the Chef) cooks some amazing meals. Meals so good you forget you are in a National Park for a few hours. This was the kickoff to our honeymoon and we will never forget it. Big thanks to Outlook. And Highly recommend.

We did a 16 day tour with Outlook through Kruger,Tembe and various other parks in kwa Zulu Natal mainly focusing on birding. We were allocated Errol De Beers as our driver /guide and you have to see Errol at work to believe it. He found us 400 birds and his skill in identifying birds it just amazing. He only needs a quick glimpse or a single tweet to know a bird. I've had some good guides in my life but none better than Errol. There were also plenty of other great wildlife experiences and yes, we got the big 30 !!! Not all went as expected,for example, bring food if you go to Mkuze as there is no restaurant just a take away. We would recommend Outlook and Errol to anyone and they are only too happy to let you put together your own itinerary.

Comparing prices for safaris around Kruger can get expensive so I feel strongly that we hit the jackpot on this one.One thing you have to know when going on safari is that you take a chance whether you will see many animals or not. If I were to choose again I would go later in the year (we just went this past weekend Feb 13-15 and much of the land didn't have any animals). Apparently February is the month you are most likely to not see everything. I got lucky over the 4 safari drives I went on we saw the entire Big 5 which is extremely rare.I would say the best timeline is to do a 3 night/4 day safari unless you are going to another place for safaris after staying at Skukuza. We did a 2 night/3 day and I would have loved to stay another day.Skukuza was a really great place to stay - it was very nice in the Chalet for the Classic Safari - had towels (we brought our own concerned at what condition the towels might be in but they were totally fine), air conditioning, mini fridge with freeze, kettle for heating water (bring your own instant coffee/sweetener). I would stay there again in a heartbeat!FJ is an AMAZING guide - truly wonderful I couldn't believe a 21 year old was so informative on all the drives and knew the answers to 90% of our questions.Broken down this is what our weekend looked like:We arrived a bit early around 1pm on a Friday and checked in at the gate then proceeded to check in at Skukuza. The camp itself doesn't have safaris booked so make sure you have your guides phone number to call when you arrive at Skukuza so they can come and collect you.Night #1 - went on a safari through the Skukuza Camp from 4:30-7:30 (this was not a good one - the highlight was baboons and the guide didn't tell us any information at all)-got back and was picked up by a guide from outlook who took us to Outlooks camp site where there was a beautiful dinner set up. We then had a 3 course meal (salad, then beef with potatoes and veggies, then a delicious pear dessert)Day #2 - Be at the Outlook Camp (a 3 min walk from most Chalets) at 5:30AM for biscotti-type biscuits, coffee and tea - safari from 6-9am followed by a delicious 2 course breakfast-free time from around 10:30-2:30 and then another game drive from 3-6-another delicious 3 course dinner around 7:30Day #3Same as Day #2 in the AM with a checkout after breakfastDuring free time there is a store, little museum type place, swimming pool, and restaurant - I recommend checking out the deck at the restaurant for a drink there were water buffalo and alligator SO close! Very cool!Make sure to tip the guides if they do a great job!! Between a friend and I we gave R200 for 3 game drives FJ had conducted.

This was our second time booking through Outlook. The people there are class acts. Every person I have dealt with is knowledgeable and willing to help in anyway possible. We had a limited amount of time and trip they planned for us was AMAZING. I would recommend theSoweto and Apartheid museum tour. They have unbelieveable deals on Safaris. We plan to using Outlook when we return to Africa next year as well. I can't say enough on how much we trust this company.

We did a 4 day (3 night) Classic Safari and highly recommend the entire experience. Elsabe coordinated our reservation via emails from halfway around the world and answered any questions we had about logistics. Johannes was our guide the entire time. He has a great sense of humor, is a wealth of information about the animals and the park, and worked very hard to make sure we saw as many animals as we could. The entire experience was relaxing and fun, the food and wine were delicious across all meals. All of the staff were professional and personable (including guide Dirk and chef Bright).Recommendations:- 4 day/3 night felt like the perfect length of time - it ensured we saw animals, relaxed off the grid, and met new people.- Fly into Skukuza airport (rather than driving from Joburg), which is a lux backyard more than an airport, and only a 50-minute flight from Joburg rather than a many-hour drive.The entire Outlook Safari operation was incredibly well-coordinated and well-executed.

So start from the booking, Elsabe Josste was very helpful and managed to answer all my queries promptly. Once we arrived at the airport in Jo'burg, we were picked up by Sydney ( I guess that how you spell it). He was nice and supportive as he made a great effort to bring us to the Skukuza camp in time for the evening game drive. Jared, the camp leader at the time, was a very friendly host, knowledgeable, and humorous. Our experiences for all game drives were excellent. We got to see all the BIG 5 and Chetah kill and a lot more! Our guide, Lucky, was very knowledgeable and absolutely knows his way around the park. On the last day we decided to take the panorama tour which we highly recommend to everyone. Food here was amazing (including the red wine!). Just a couple low points:- instead of 5 game drives promised, we only had 4. - we reserved a double bed but received twin.- the sink in the bathroom was clogged but we didnt inform the staff about this. So thank you all the Outlook staff!

Excellent service and well organised! Picked up and drop off at the end of the trip. The entire 4d3n trip was taken care by the Outlook Safari ranger and staff in the camp, food was excellent. Camping tent was well better than expected. Nothing much to ask for to get such a valuable package.
