Thank You Legend Safaris!
5/5

Thank you so much to Legend Safaris for a wonderful day in Kruger Park! It was so convenient for us to be picked up on time at our Lodge for a day of game viewing! Although we cannot control the animals, Our driver made effort to hear from other rangers in order to try show us the Big 5. We did see the big 5 before lunch as well as other animals, big and small! For my British friend, it was a very special day to remember! I will recommend Legend safaris any day!

Worth it
4/5

My mum and I had a really good experience. On the morning of the safari we woke up late but they kindly waited for us. Everything we needed to know was explained to us before hand.

Exceptional Photographic Tour of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park!
5/5

When Shaheen recommended that the Kgalagadi was a great place for an amateur wildlife photographer, I leapt at the chance to arrange a game drive through Legend Safaris. The service I got on this 4 night/5 day tour of the park was truly exceptional! Arun, the head guide at Legend Safaris, picked me up from Upington in the early hours of the first morning, and we drove to the park to begin our game drive on the same day. Over the following days, Arun put in some seriously hard work with his driving to make sure we covered the vast distances of the Kgalagadi effectively, in order to maximise our game viewing opportunities. At times, the going was tough - in particular, on our third day, we hadn't had a single exceptional sighting the whole day. We had driven from Twee Rivieren at the very southern tip of the park, all the way up to Marie Se Drai without so much as an ear poking out of the bush. We had covered exactly 294 kilometres, and still Arun maintained his professionalism and drive to get me an exceptional shot. And then, we were rewarded with a pair of lions - a beautiful male in the prime of his life, and the lioness he was paired with - literally two metres away from our vehicle, basking on the sandy road in the Kgalagadi sun. We stayed with that pair for nearly 3 hours after that, all the while Arun maneauvering the car with the changing light and as a courtesy to other visitors to allow them an opportunity to view the lions as well. My 5 days in the park were filled with such remarkable stories and the cherry on top was the bonus day Shaheen had booked for me in Nossob camp, free of charge, to attempt some star photography. The service I received through Legend Safaris was far and beyond what I expected, and I am extremely grateful to both Shaheen, the owner, and Arun, the head guide, for making my stay so very memorable and for imprinting the Kgalagadi's wonders on me in such a special way. I would heartily recommend the company to anyone considering a trip to South Africa for game viewing, as their expertise and knowledge of the bush, along with their hospitality, is sure to make anyone's experiences extremely enjoyable.

Amazing photographic tour of Kruger!
5/5

The safari that I booked through Legend Safaris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. For months before my arrival date in Johannesburg, Shaheen communicated with me very frequently, giving me a clear overview of what to expect and what the daily itineraries were. He even helped me secure a visa by issuing me official invitation letters, which was a big help. While on the actual safari, Legend Safaris head guide Arun showed me an excellent time! I had communicated to Shaheen before the trip that as a keen amateur wildlife photographer, I have some particular requirements while on a game drive, and Arun, being a qualified photographer himself, was able to accommodate these perfectly. Whether this was positioning the car in a way that suited the angle of the shot I had in mind, changing route direction depending on the position of the sun to get optimal lighting, or even following leads from other guides on good sightings, Arun worked very hard to ensure that my game viewing experience was excellent. At times, he drove over 200 kilometres in a day, just to get me the opportunity to view the maximum amount of game. Overall, the service I received from Legend Safaris was absolutely exceptional, and I would heartily recommend them to any travellers, whether it's your first time in the bush, or you're a game drive veteran. I will certainly be booking with them in the future and will hope to do many more game drives in the years to come. Thank you both for a great time!

Legendary!
5/5

Legend Safaris exceeded all of our expectations. Arun was a great guide who's experience made for a great safari for our family. He worked hard to make us comfortable, he was a font of knowledge about the park, the animals and so much more. On day number one he found a lion stalking a herd of Impala and hours later drove us to a leopard "hang-out" where we saw our first of two leopards in two days. Beyond the leopards we had up-close encounters with the other four of the "big 5" AND hyenas and wild dogs which are quite rare to see. We can't thank Arun and Legend Safaris enough for making our experience LEGENDARY!

Definitely the most memorable!
5/5

Our 7 high school students and two other staff from Texas School for the Deaf went to South Africa as part of our International Studies program last March. Someone happened to send me a link of Arun using sign language in one of his safari videos. I went to contact him and our communication about the trip has been very smooth and clear. We were fortunate to have Arun as our guide during our 4-day safari trip. He was able to use the language that all of us were able to understand. During the trip, he shared information about the animals, the fun facts, the legends, and some silly jokes. On the last night, he took some times to take us food shopping and help us cook "braai" kudu and impala meats in South African's style. Our students learned a lot and considered this as one of their most memorable parts of the trip! Thank you ARUN!!

EXCELLENT !
5/5


They really made my individual safari dream come true ! What I liked best

1. The guiding and the animals _
Arun is an outstanding guide. He showed me 62 Lions !! In the same time, we met many other visitors who haven't seen a single Lion. He was very passionate to show me lions in various situations. We saw hunting Lions, Lions on a kill, mating Lions and even a Lioness "teaching" her cubs how to hunt. Arun does not only know where the animals are but also can anticipate where they would come out, so often it was just us alone with the animals for the perfect picture. Also he got me the BIG 5 everyday, as well as 5 out of the 6 BIG Birds, wilddogs and cheetahs. He shared his scientific knowledge with me and I learned a lot.
2. the organization of the trip
Legend Safaris has its own very nice Lodge near Kruger Park with swimming pool and golf course where I booked two extra days before and after the day Safari which I highly recommend. During the Safari, I always had a very clean little bungalow with air conditioning, shower and toilet for my own.They have a brand new big, very high Safari Jeep which is a big advantage aswell.
3. The Price
The Price was not only very fair compared to other offers , but also was everything included and there were no "hidden costs". A big breakfast and dinner (both delicious) were always included in the Price and so the only expeditures I had was for souveniers.

Great safari with right people
5/5

We had a great time within Kruger Park. Guide was competent and flexible enough during the all day, we have been lucky to see a good number of animals.
For sure a good choice for discovering animals in South Kruger National Park
