The highlights were truly incredible.
November 19, 2025by: Linda GouldProgram: South Africa Photo SafariThe program not only met but far exceeded my expectations. The highlights were truly incredible, from the viewing of a cheetah making a kill and the treehouse session from the camp to the bushwalks and sundowners. I would recommend Penda, yes. Overall, Alan is a great photography guide and he made the whole holiday a great experience.
The trip was fantastic throughout
November 15, 2025by: Mike FellProgram: South Africa Photo SafariThe trip greatly exceeded my expectations, as the wildlife viewing and accommodation was fantastic. The highlights of the experience were that we had daily Lion & Elephant sightings, and we also got to witness a Wild Dog hunt. The food & accommodation were amazing and it had a very relaxed feel to the place. I would highly recommend Penda and will be using them again in the future. Overall, the trip was fantastic throughout and the 3 nights in nThambo was a nice addition to the holiday.
The highlights of the experience were the animals.
