Flexible pickups, Excellent Communication and good tour choice options
I chose Nhlalala travel because they were the only tour company that allowed me to choose my pickup time instead of having to stick to a pre-defined pickup time. They were very good responding to questions and were good value for money. However, I was not too happy with the fact that the advertised price of the tour changed after I had paid my deposit in that VAT was added on at that point. I was also disappointed in that it was difficult to get information about inclusions and exclusions - I wanted to be able to easily see each day what was planned, the times and which meals were included and which meals needed to be paid for by us.
Our guide Konghi was amazing, from picking us up at the airport and driving us out to our first hotel. He kept up a good conversation throughout the 5 hour drive and we were able to share ideas and knowledge with each other. He took us to amazing places and made each experience a fascinating adventure and over the 5 days we felt as though we had gained a good friend. We felt respected and that it was all about us and what would be the best experience for us. I give him an 11 out of 10 ..

Great people that can accommodate your experience!
Norman and Khongi organised a great trip for us. Credit has to go to Knowledge, who was great getting us to Kruger via the Panorama route. Then on the safari, Clayton was great both for the full day and half day we chose. I’d recommend Kruger Gate Hotel as well. Well worth the money, and a truly special experience!
Flexible and understanding
Had some lovely days in Kruger Park with nhalala travel. They were very flexible and can change the trip depending on my wishes. Additionally was my guide Khongi lovely!
The trip as itself was spectacular and can not point out how much worth it is to put som little extra money to go to the hotel Kruger Park Gate hotell. One of the best hotel I have ever visit!

10/10 would recommend
If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend booking your Kruger trip with Nhlalala Travel enough!
The entire team went above and beyond to make my trip truly special. I had a very tight schedule, but they handled everything perfectly and made sure the whole experience ran smoothly from start to finish.
I felt well taken care of at all times, from the pick-up at Johannesburg airport to the drop-off again. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, which made me feel completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment.
Thank you to the whole Nhlalala team for such an incredible Kruger experience!

Remarkable service and flexibility
Such a memorable trip of a lifetime!
Most of the tours have standard shuttle service which we couldn’t make it because of our flight schedule. Glad that we’ve found Nhalalala Travel who offers great flexibility and customises based on our time schedule!
We knew we picked the right one from the friendly and polite greet. We were blessed with the perfect weather, the greatest animals and people we met during the tour.
We cannot wait to come back and travel with them again!

Once in a life time, perfect!
The team were amazing and Norman was very responsive over bookings. Each driver we interacted with was brilliant and the guides were amazing. We were lucky enough to have a full day safari to our selves and it was so special. I can’t wait to visit Kruger again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nhalalala travels. Kruger gate hotel was again so special and I could not fault the service.

Excellent all round!
We had a very seamless experience with Nhlalala Travel. We actually found them through reviews and they were not lying. Norman really was so good with communication from start to finish. It was great value for money and we would definitely recommend. We were picked up from our hotel in Joburg and driven to Kruger gate hotel with two lovely drivers - one of which was Normans brother (only tiny feedback was quite fast and erratic driving!). They were lovely and chatty in the car and so polite and welcoming. But also respected when we wanted a little nap.
The organisation of the safari drives was seamless and on the Saturday main drive, we were actually the only people in our vehicle so felt very special.
Thanks so much to the whole team!

The Tour was excellent
Our group of five had an amazing trip to Pilanesberg National Park, which we booked through Nhlalala Travel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences we’ve had together.
The day started early with our pick-up in Pretoria central on time and everything was well organised.
The driver was friendly and made us feel comfortable right away.
We had enough restrooms stops
During the drive and shops ,we were all excited, talking about what animals we hoped to see.
Even the journey there felt enjoyable because the atmosphere in the vehicle was relaxed and fun.
When we arrived at Pilanesberg, the scenery immediately stood out. The park is so beautiful, with mountains, open plains, and lots of greenery. As soon as the game drive started, we were all quiet and focused, looking out for animals. It didn’t take long before we spotted our first animals, and that’s when the excitement really kicked in.
We saw elephants walking slowly across the road, and at one point they came quite close to the vehicle, which was both exciting and a little scary. We also saw zebras, giraffes, and different types of antelope. One of the best moments was watching a group of giraffes standing together in the distance—it felt like something out of a movie.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the animals and their behaviour. He also made sure everyone in our group had a chance to see and take pictures, which made the experience feel personal. Being just five of us made it even better because it wasn’t crowded, and we could enjoy every moment.
It was quite hot during the day, but we stayed hydrated and didn’t let it ruin the experience. In fact, the weather made it feel like a real African safari. We shared laughs, took lots of pictures, and created memories that we will always remember.
Overall, Nhlalala Travel provided excellent service from start to finish. The trip was well planned, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a genuine and exciting safari experience.
