Adventure in the Hluhluwe Game Reserve and St Lucia Wetland
We had such a wonderful Safari with Brett guiding us. He was so knowledgable and added so much to our experience. We were just a small group of 4 of us so had a very personal safari, tailor made to our needs. The safari was well organised, accommodation good...a delightful, memorable holiday which I would recommend to anyone. Best memories...waiting 30 minutes to watch the big male elephant emerge from the bush, watching the busy weaver birds making their nests, and seeing the hippos after dark roaming the streets in St Lucia!

Great experience!
We really enjoyed our safari with Endless Summer Tours and Stephen who was our guide. It was kind of hard to choose from all the options when looking for a safari but we are SO happy we chose this particular one. It really was exactly what we were looking for. Stephen was very easygoing and was very flexible to our requests. Food was very good and the accommodation was very nice and close to nature. And most important of all, we saw a lot of animals up close :)
I am definitely going to recommend this tour to all my friends!

SO much better than I expected, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is an animal viewing paradise
All of our connections were seamless, including airport drop off. The personal attention by Stephen, our guide, was fun and informative with several very up close lucky sightings. We were feed well and our lodgings were perfect for our more adventurous wants, with lots of animals roaming through the grounds of the delightful cabins. A perfect end to our wonderful month in South Africa.

Highly recommended - Incredible, personal and well planned Safari
We had the most incredible Kruger Safari with Rhys and Endless Summer Tours. This was the start of our honeymoon in South Africa and I wouldn't change a thing about our tour. Rhys was a brilliant host and guide - he is so knowledgable about the animals and has a great ability to spot them - we experienced so much (photos will follow)! Every meal time Rhys fired up the braai and cooked us some really tasty meals. The accommodation used in Kruger was spot on - we could sit on our porch and watch animals walking past and listen to the lion as we ate dinner!
I highly recommend Endless Summers.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience Rhys.

Pick them! Awesome, well organized, friendly and knowledgeable
Going on a safari is an amazing experience and not having to worry about logistics or a single detail is why you want to go with Endless Summer Tours!!! Rhys and his business partner Brett were our bush guides. They coordinated every aspect of our trip from airport pick-up to drop-off, we didn't have to think about a thing...only enjoy! Our group of 7 selected the all-inclusive 4 day/3 night package with day trip to St. Lucia, which was reasonably priced. We stayed 2 nights in a private camp / chalet and then 1 night at a more resort-type camp. Accommodations were better than expected. Rhys and Brett prepared our meals, including a traditional South African braai (BBQ), and treated us to some nice South African wine and the local specialty Amarula. A dinner was also planned at a restaurant in the reserve that had a buffet of tasty dishes and authentic singing and dancing by the waitstaff...really cool experience. On safari, we got to see 4 of the big 5 and lots of other animals. Throughout the trip, both shared their extensive experience and knowledge that helped us appreciate our experience even more. All of us were extremely happy. Overall, it was an awesome adventure...Rhys and Brett made that happen!

Fantastic Safari to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi and St. Lucia
We had a fantastic 3-day/4-night trip to Hluhluwe/Imfolozi an St. Lucia with Endless Summer Tours. Our guide Steve was wonderful. He is personable, knowledgeable, very hard working and a great cook. He really went the extra mile to provide a superior experience. While Hluhluwe/Imfolozi may not be as well known as Kruger, we lost count of how many animals we saw in so many species. We were at times surrounded by a herd of elephants, saw three lions from a distance of 15 meters, and had a long and clear siting of African wild dogs, the most endangered carnivores in South Africa. At evenings during the braai at Mpila Camp, we had to keep the hyenas away by shining flashlights in their eyes. Rhino, buffalo, monkeys, baboons, impalas and warthogs wandered through the camp. All of this without the crowds of Kruger. In fact, for most of the time we saw no other cars on the roads. In St. Lucia we added hippos and the endangered samango monkey to our list of species encountered. I absolutely recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Our trip of a lifetime in Kruger Park - 4-day private tour
Last May, my husband and I and our two good friends had an amazing 4-day private tour in Kruger Park with Endless Summer Tours. We were picked-up in Jo'berg by Rhys and his colleague who had arranged for everything: transportation, food, accommodation, night and morning drives - everything. They were such great cooks! We stayed in great bungalows and saw more wildlife than we had ever hoped for. Within 30 minutes of arriving in the park, we had already seen a leopard in a tree! We also saw an amazing kill by two lionesses which Rhys predicted perfectly before it even happened. He really knows so much about animal behaviour and we learned tons during the drives. We ended-up seeing over 25 lions (with lots of cubs) in total during the trip - and of course all the big five... I only missed seeing a cheetah so I guess it's an excuse to go back. :)

Endless Summer Tours provide that "special experience" just for you
All our queries were answered patiently. Payment methods were arranged to our satisfaction. Tremendous personal service. We were met at the airport and taken straight to St Lucia & were on a river trip viewing hippo, crocs,Fish eagles and African kingfishers before the end of the evening. Excellent B&B, fantastic food. Then on to Umfolozi - Our indefatigable guide showed us elephant before we even entered the park. Great lodge accommodation (elephant and nyala below our balcony), good food, memorable barbecue by starlight and hours & hours of game viewing and animal photo-opportunities with our skilled, knowledgeable and tireless guide.

Great experience
We booked for a four days three night safari at the Kruger Park. Our guide Steve picked us up at the hotel in Johannesburg and drove us to the crocodile camp for the first two nights. He was a great guide, showing us a lot and could tell us all kinds of details about the park and the animals we saw. Besides being a great guide, he was a wizard with the braai and made sure we wouldn't starve...we saw a lot of giraffes, elephants, lions, all kind of deers, rhino's, hippo's, crocks and on the last morning three cheeta's coming back from a hunt. I can surely recommend Endless Summer Tours. Flexible and reliable

Great tour, excellent guide
My wife and I have traveled to a lot of different countries, but this excursion is by far our favorite. Obviously, going to Kruger Park is great, but what made it extraordinary was our guide Rhys. Rhys has a deep understanding of the animals and is extremely passionate about them and his job. Because of this, we were able to see a lot more than the other tours. He has an incredible eye to spot animals that are far away, then have an understanding of where they are going. This is how we were able to watch two Cheetahs walk 5 feet in front of our car. It was amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Rhys and his company. I would highly advise to not do a group tour on these trips. The personal attention we got was incredible. He actually cooked for us the whole trip, and he's not too shabby with the grill (braai). It was great. Thanks Rhys.
