4 Day Safari and Panorama Experience with Norman and Brilliant!
Norman and his colleague Brilliant were exceptional from start to finish. We were met at Johannesburg airport and driven up to our 4 star hotel in Kruger. After check in we went on our first evening game drive. All organised really well and we saw so many animals in the first few hours, including 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos but the guide said they hadn’t seen any for nearly a month). The next morning was another game drive followed by a late afternoon relaxing at the hotel. The next day we changed our plans to do the panorama route (highly recommended) and we had another amazing day. On the last day we asked Norman if he could recommend anything for our visit and he obliged with a stop off in Pretoria on our way back to Johannesburg. It was really interesting to see a completely different side to our trip and Norman was a wealth of local knowledge and history of the area. I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel. Norman and Brilliant’s professionalism, flexibility, kindness and expertise made our trip one to remember and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. For the experience we had, the price was an absolute bargain for 4 days of fun.
Nhlalala Travel are a smaller company, but if you want a tailored personal experience from a trustworthy guide, then I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Norman and Brilliant. Well done in the rugby as well!

Terrific 3 Day Tour with Nhlalala (and Khongi in particular)
Our 3-day Kruger Safari and Panorama Route adventure with Nhlalala Tours was truly unforgettable. A special shout-out to our driver, Khongi, who made this journey exceptional.
We enjoyed our stay at the scenic Hippo Hollow and the guided drives into Kruger National Park were fantastic! We spotted four of the Big Five and many more animals. The spots Khongi chose as rest stops were also spot on. The vehicle was safe, he was on time, and he was great company throughout the trip.
Nhlalala Tours provided a well-planned itinerary that suited our limited time. If you prefer spontaneity, consider adding extra days. For us, it was a perfect fit.
In conclusion, Nhlalala Tours delivers an outstanding Kruger Safari. Highly recommended! Kudos to Norman, Khongi, and the whole team for a remarkable experience.

Fantastic day trip with NHLALALA TRAVELS!!
Awesome excursion to Pilansburg Game Reserve! Nhalala Travels made everything perfect from the booking and transfers. Norman, the owner, was a gem to work with. I booked this excursion for my husband and it was the highlight of his South Africa trip. My husband saw plenty of game on this one day Pilansburg excursion from elephants, giraffes, lions, wildebeest, leopards, rhinos, hippos, and zebras. Book with NHLALALA TRAVELS!

Reliable, friendly and professional
I booked the 2-day Pilanesberg Tour with Nhlalala Travel. Communication with the tour operator was very good (both prior and during the trip). Norman was a great guide, very knowledgeable, considerate, friendly and always available. I travelled alone and Norman made sure that everything went smoothly. I felt safe the entire time: from the pick-up in Pretoria until the drop-off at Johannesburg airport the next day.
The safari was a great experience. The sunset and sunrise tours were amazing. I was able to see elephants, rhinos, lions, hyenas, hippos, and giraffes. Pilanesberg is a wonderful place.
I would highly recommend Norman’s services, Nhlalala Travel and their Pilanesberg tour to anyone. It's ideal for someone who wants to do a safari before heading home from a business trip and needs flexible arrangements.

Nice small tour operator which you can rely on
We had a really nice tour with Nhlalala Travel. We booked the 3 days Tour to Kruger from Johannesburg. We were no big group. Only the two of us were picked up and drove to Kruger. We were able to choose our hotel by ourselves. We really liked it. Nhlalala Travel has organized our safari tours very well. Our Guide Dan managed everything and we could always communicate with him. We really liked our tour.

Well organised, highly knowledgable and extremely friendly - an amazing experience
We did a four day safari and panorama route with Nhlalala travel and had an amazing experience.
Norman was an extremely helpful and knowledgeable guide. He communicated well and arranged everything perfectly - the booking process was seamless. He was always on time and was prepared to answer all our questions (and there were a lot), providing a lot of insights and creating a great atmosphere for the trip.
The safari was brilliant, we were able to see lions, elephants, hyenas, wild dogs and a lot more up close, and the Panorama route was beautiful with lots of breath-taking sights.
Highly recommend Norman and Nhlalala Tours.

All round a great experience.
We did a three day safari/the panorama route with Nhlalala travel and had a great time. Contact before our trip was prompt and informative and the booking process was seamless.
We stayed at Perrys bridge hollow which was an ideal location for accessing Kruger park. The views on the panorama route were incredible.
The service and overall experience was superb. Norman could not have been more accommodating and everything went very smoothly. He was informative, and told us lots about the history Kruger park and about the towns we passed through on our journey. Overall very good value for money and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Nhlalala 3 Day Kruger Safari with Norman
Norman was an extremely considerate and knowledgeable guide. He was on hand at every stage of our tour, even sending us off with the Kruger guide and waiting for our return, making sure we didn’t need rescue due to flooding! The third day through the Panorama route was excellent. Highly recommend Norman and Nhlalala Tours. ⭐️

Provides an amazing experience from start to finish
Norman was helpful and communicated great from start to finish. I was able to book super easy from another country and he stayed in touch during the lead up. He ensured we were comfortable and safe the entire time and was there to ensure we were picked and and dropped back after each individual safari. The accommodation he booked us into was great and the travel to and from Kruger was great. The trip back along the Panoramic Route was spectacular. 100% would contact Norman directly for any future bookings!
