Nhlalala is in Shangaan language known as Honey bird. Is a common and most significant bird for any African herdsmen in African folklore. In the golden years where wealth was measured by livestock, young men had to go to the wild to look after livestock. When the young were out in the wild, one of the birds to interact was Nhlalala. It became a most valuable friend of the herdsmen as it is known for guiding human nature into Bee colonies. The bird guidance has increased honey-hunters' rates...

Brilliant guide - made our trip so special
We booked with Norman at Nhlalala Travel after receiving a detailed itinerary of the trip and he didn’t disappoint.
Lucky our guide was punctual, picking us up from Jo’burg at 6am, he wad chatty helpful and polite, everything you want so early in the morning. We spent a few days doing Kruger and the Panoramic tour, all of which were amazing. Lucky couldn’t have been any more helpful and Norman beforehand made sure everything was in place for us. So glad we chose Nhlalala as they made our time there a much more special

VERY EFFICIENT
due to cancellation of my flight, I contacted Normand of Nhlalala to start a 3 days' Kruger Safari Trip in a very short notice. Mr Normand managed to arrange this trip for me within 1 day.
We started off the next day after confirmation, everything went smoothly. He even arranged a private 4x4 safari vehicle for us. Roger, is a very experienced guide/driver. He spotted lots of birds for us with his super eagle eyes.
Normand follows up with us every day to see if everything goes smoothly.
Accommodating and easy to organise
Norman was a fantastic guide, organising all the activities and was accommodating to our personalised itinerary. Accommodation was great and he helped organise our fantastic game drives. His knowledge of the local history was amazing. Will definitely travel with Nhalala again!
Norman was wonderful, organised, flexible and made our experience one to remember!
This whole experience was a once in a lifetime, it was well organised, punctual and lots of fun! The tours at the park were also fun, full of knowledge and perfectly timed. What a beautiful part of the world we got to experience in such a great way!

They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala
The trip definitely exceeded our expectations. We took the 4-day Kruger + Panorama tour.
Let's start from the beginning: we handled all the formalities with Norman, who was always very quick to respond to all our questions. We wanted to maximize our time in the park. We were glad that extending our trip by one day wasn't a problem at all. All costs were clearly explained, as were the payment methods.
Khongi, who was an incredible companion for the trip from Johannesburg to Kruger and back, picked us up from the airport hotel. He was also our guide on the Panorama tour. We felt like we'd known him forever; he was incredibly interesting, but he also showed us and explained many things. We felt taken care of the entire time because we had constant contact, and even after a full day of safari, he called to make sure everything was okay and to confirm the next day's plans.
The hotel itself also exceeded our expectations. The rooms looked even better than in the photos, and the breakfast buffet or takeaway box on our departure morning was truly filling and varied. The dinner buffet offered a huge selection of delicious dishes.
The safari trips were also well-organized, and even though we were with other people, it was relaxed and everyone could see what they wanted.
In short, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Khongi, his care, and the overall experience made us not want to go back home. I'm always wary of using travel agents and prefer to handle everything myself, but they exceeded all our expectations at all. They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala Travel.
