Tailor-made safari with highly professional staff
5/5

I live in Catalonia and I love to travel. This summer we wanted to have an unforgettable trip to Africa, to go on a safari with my wife and our two children. We decided to travel to South Africa.

I searched on the Internet and came across the Safari Bookings portal. Once there, I chose three safari providers that I thought could offer us a tailor-made experience. From the very moment I contacted Elephant Herds, everything just flowed. Communication was quick and easy, and they prepared several versions of the itinerary to adapt to our needs (special thanks to Bev).

We wanted to be picked up as soon as we arrived at Johannesburg airport and taken straight to the Kruger area. The next day, they organized a full day of safari in Kruger. The following day, we did the Panorama Route, adapted with activities for the kids. On the last day, we enjoyed another full day of safari in Kruger, ending with a transfer to Nelspruit, from where we would continue our adventure with other operators.

The resort right next to Kruger was excellent, the restaurant was one of the highlights of the whole trip, and all the services—rangers, drivers, everything—worked punctually and exactly as agreed. Very professional. I had already thanked them by WhatsApp at the end, and I don’t usually write reviews, but in this case it is only fair to do so.

Many thanks,

Excellent
5/5

The tour guide took us promptly narrating the facts about the animals of Kruger national park. We were lucky to spot a male lion. Our game drives were very pleasant and my kids enjoyed thoroughly.

If you are lucky enough to get Bev your trip can't be planned better. Bev/Patrick the dream team
5/5

Bev carefully planned our 6 day Kruger Park adventure to see and experience as much as one can do in that short period of time. I asked Bev to make sure we were in the park as much as possible knowing this might be the only time we visit South Africa. She didn't disappoint. We spent nearly 12 hours a day on a private Safari experience. There was 5 people in our group. Patrick was our driver/guide and he was the perfect chaperon. He was able to show use every animal but a cheetah and the wild dogs. The mornings started off with smiles and the day ended with smiles. Accommodations were perfect. Bev asked what we were looking for and delivered. The Elephant Herd Tour group is first class. Just tell them what you are looking for and they will arrange it for you. If you want something changed just ask. Bev changed things for me several times because I wasn't sure what I really wanted. My family was blessed we picked them to plan our trip.

Great Kruger safari experience
5/5

We have ve appreciated the great experience and passion of the guide that makes our safari experience unforgettable. He was able to show us animals that which would have been impossible to see without an expert guide. We also learnd a lot about animals habits and curiosities related to the park and the species that live there. Thanks also to flexibility of the agency, we have been able to re-arrange our safari schedule despite the issue faced with our flight schedule. On top to the Kruger park Safari we did, with the same agency, a very well organized and complete tour of the panoramic route!

We had an amazing trip. Becky our guide is so knowledgeable and is able to spot the animals. We originally planned to do one safari but ended up going twice because we enjoyed it so much.

Fantastic service!
5/5

Bev has been amazing since the first time I got in touch. Attentive, quick in responding, much more than just an employee. I would definitely recommend Elephant Herd.

Personal safari Kruger
5/5

What an experience! With an experienced and professional guide we drove in the morning through Kruger. We had a pick up at 5.30 in the morning. Sharp on time our guise picked us up.
He truly knew his way and shared information and fun facts about the wild life.

Gentleman Game Tour Operator Jason
5/5

Jason went above and beyond to make sure we had opportunity to see the “big cats” and was also very knowledgeable about the other wildlife we saw along the way.
