Knowledgeable and attentive with excellent communication skills
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights/6day Kruger safari with Shoes at Khalanga Safaris. Pre trip communication was excellent and the accommodation,food and guided drives were top quality. Shoe’s knowledge of the park and its numerous inhabitants is most impressive and his description of animal behaviours was wonderful. We were a party of 3 adults all with experience of African safaris in the past and agreed that Shoes and Khalanga was the perfect match for us. Would recommend for an authentic Kruger Safari experience.

The most amazing safari experience
5/5

Khalanga Safaris exceeded all of our expectations during our five day safari in Kruger National Park. From the planning stage to the drop off for the bus back to Johannesburg every detail was handled with a high level of professionalism.
It is important to know that the Khalanga team are conservationists, so we were able to experience the animals and the park in a very different way. For example we saw the territory markings of the male rhinoceros and then closely seeing them with no else around. We saw the world’s largest millipede and learnt about them. We saw the Kori Bustard, one of the more rare birds in the park. As we were the only party on the safari truck we were given a front row seat to some of the most amazing sights - from the elusive lions to herds of elephants to dozens of zebras and kudu. We saw painted dogs, impalas, hippopotamus, giraffes, gand vervet monkeys. There wasn’t a day that we weren’t amazed and humbled by the beauty of Kruger National Park and by the experience of Shoes and his team. We are so thankful to everyone at Khalanga Safaris for making this such a memorable experience.

Amazing
5/5

My husband and I had an incredible 5 days with Shoes and Doctor! They were amazing wildlife spotters, and did everything they could to help us see the big 5, along with lots of other animals. We felt like we were leaving friends behind when they dropped us off for the return shuttle.

The office staff was extremely helpful and patient as we navigated booking the tour and all the logistics. We have no complaints - highly recommend Khalanga Safaris if you're looking to visit Kruger.

Amazing Safari in Kruger National Park
5/5

Our safari in Kruger was truly unbelievable. It was arranged for us by Khalanga Safaris. The owner Shoes and assistant Thamia always responded quickly to any issues or questions I had during the several months of planning for the trip. They dealt with all my concerns and planned a wonderful trio for my family.
Our guide Derrick Shokane was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informative about all the animals we saw. He went out of his way to make our trip as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

The experience in Kruger was exceptional. We saw all of “The Big Five” and so much more. We even saw an armadillo on a night drive which is extremely rare.

I would highly recommend a safari in Kruger and booking through Khalanga Safaris.

Another Fantastic Visit to The Kruger With Shoes
5/5

This was our second time with Khalanga and Shoes and this trip was even better than the first. In 2023/24 we went to the South Kruger and that was fantastic! This time we were looking for a different experience and Shoes made sure that is what we had. Starting at Punda Maria we travelled down to Satara staying at Shingwedzi and Letarba along the way and visiting many other areas on our daily game drives. The organization and communication were superb; Shoes made suggestions and then gave us the opportunity to research before finally confirming. We decided this time to have two nights in each Rest Camp and three in Satara – 9 nights in total. This ensured we had sufficient time to fully explore each area and gave Shoes the opportunity to really showcase and share ‘his Kruger’. His knowledge and passion for the animals, birds, flora and geography of every part of the Park was incredible; every day was a unique experience encompassing far more than just a game drive and we learned so much! One of us is into Birds and the other into Animals and Shoes met both our expectations with bells on!! Shoes’ knowledge in differentiating between male, female and the juvenile of the bird species we saw made identification a fascinating exercise in itself and there was little that we didn’t see. As for the animals, of course we saw the Big 5 and so much more. Watching a Leopard climb into a tree to wait for its dinner to walk by, rounding a corner to be met by a pack of Wild Dogs walking down the road, Cheetahs with their young, Lions leaving the kill and the Vultures finishing off the leftovers, the Jackals, Hyenas, Rhinos, Elephants and, of course the Giraffe, Hippos, Crocodile and Warthogs – right down to the Impala and Mongoose and the African Wild Cat that walked by our verandah as we sat eating dinner, cooked by Shoes – Shoes’ expertise and skill in tracking and ‘reading’ the signs of nature ensured that we saw it all. We finished our adventure with 2 nights in Graskopf – the Panorama Route – and this was the perfect end to an amazing holiday. It is probably not hard to go to the Kruger and see some great sights but the experience offered by Khalanga Safaris is far more than this and we could not recommend it highly enough. We are now looking forward to journeying through the ‘winter Kruger’ with Shoes in 2026.
