I went to Phinda Forest Lodge years ago, and the staff mentioned that Hugh Jackman had stayed there. I never fact checked it, but it stayed with me and a quick search now revealed it was indeed true! Not only that, the feedback was congruent with my experience which was top notch.
The A list wolverine star was in South Africa filming the movie Chappie (mullet and all).
I was in Cape Town when Bieber was in town. In fact he stayed at the One and Only in Cape Town around 2010.
What I also found out was that he went on a proper African safari and after some digging, discovered it was in the Greater Kruger Park, specifically at Idube Game Lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. He was a lot younger at the time, as you can see in the pic! But the fact he keeps returning to South Africa should tell you something..
Pretty crazy to have two big hitters having stayed at the same reserve. That's when you know..
Of course it would be Singita, probably the top safari brand in the minds of wealthy Americans.
These two were spotted staying at Singita Grumeti Reserve in Serengeti National Park. It was a honeymoon choice for Timberlake and a rumoured proposal spot for Clooney. The specific lodge seems to be Sasakwa Lodge.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is in South Africa at the time of this article, busy filming Mission Impossible 8.
He will be going on safari but of course we cannot disclose where. Else he'd be mobbed and it wouldn't be much of a holiday!
Anja Mayer was extremely knowledgeable, patient, prompt with her responses to questions, and always very helpful. She was also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone that asks that Anja is the right person to contact if they are interested in travelling to South Africa or Botswana.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could.
She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
