Anyone who is thinking about going to South Africa for a safari but doesn't quite know what to expect or how to get started... you only know that you want a real adventure... you should definitely consider Tydon Safari Camp (or their nearby Bush Camp) as the place for your first safari. Prior to our 5-day safari this past December,... More

This review is about a year overdue. I stayed last year for a five day Kruger/Sabi Sand Safari. It was an amazing experience all the way around. I used all the excellent reviews to make the decision to stay here. I was very glad I did. Gavin was such an amazing host. Hanging out with him and the others around... More

We stayed for an entire week in Tydon's bush camp, something I really, sincerely, recommend. The first afternoon's sightings of white rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, kudu antelopes and wart-hogs were mind-blowing. Then everyday came up with new surprises – a leopard stalking impalas in the dry grass, playful baby elephants pestering sleepy buffalos at the riverbank, dwarf mongooses chasing away a... More

We had the most wonderful experience staying at Tydon. We were traveling as a couple and did a 5 day Capetown followed with a 3 day Tydon camp safari. So our schedule started with a pickup at the Johannesburg airport and a wonderful drive down to Tydon. The best thing about our experience was the awesome Tydon team.. Gavin, Vangie,... More

My family and I had the loveliest stay at Tydon. The staff were so accommodating and made our stay great. Vangie and Gavin were most pleasant and fun. Email communication was fantastic not knowing South Africa at all. The food was AMAZING you never went hungry. The best part about it was that the meals were very traditional african dishes.... More

We had a wonderful stay at Tydon. I was wrestling with whether to 'splurge' for one of the private reserves, or just go with the rest camps inside Kruger until I found Tydon. Tydon provided just the balance we were looking for -- we got the experience of Sabi Sands (driving off road with very knowledgeable guides, more intimate interaction... More

This is my second visit to the South Africa and my second safari with Tydon. I couldn't wait to go back and stay longer this time. I stayed at both camps this visit. The safari camp allows you to visit Kruger as well as Sabi Sands and was why I stayed at both camps. If you want peace and quiet,... More

We (three families 2+2 with well behaved kids used to travelling) arrived at Tydon after staying a couple of nights at a very warm and welcoming camp in a private reserve. We were therefor a bit supprised by Gavins welcoming speach mainly focusing on their experiences with not so well behaved kids. The speach left us wondering if our kids... More

Warm reception, small and cozy atmosphere, comfortable tents, large, tasty meals, and excellent service. The guides not only teach you and drive you around on the safari but also act as your hosts so you can get to know them very well. The unique part about Tydon Safari Camp is that you can visit both Kruger park and Sabi Sands.... More
