Sharing a little bit of nature with wild animals
It was one of the most wonderful trip of our life, if not the one. Four days around the Kruger park is unforgettable. We have seen the big five within only 24 hours, and many other animals. Steve brought us all around incredible sites, giving us the chance to see animals in their natural environment, drinking, sleeping, eating and playing. Steve is also a great cook and he gave us the opportunity to taste South African food, including vegetable and fruits. Everything promised was delivered and even more. Since going back home, we have encouraged our friends to take a similar journey. Many thanks to the whole team for this delightful moment.

Simply great! Rhys is the perfect guide, saw the big 5 at least twice, did everything we wanted to!
Even though quite some time passed by since our tour we wanted to say thank you to Rhys for our perfect tour!
Rhys and his team planned the tour perfectly around our flights, communication was easy and Rhys and his team answered right away to any question. So planning our tour was simple after we had picked Endless Summer Tours.
The tour started with Rhys picking us up at the airport with the 4WD that was becoming our second home for the tour. We headed right to Kruger park and got a lot of information about the landscape we passed.
In the Kruger park Rhys stopped for pointing out all the animals - and I am quite sure we would have missed mor than half of them without Rhys (and would have missed quite some rare animals for not knowing they were ;-)! He gave us interesting information about the all those small and big animals and it took only 2 days to have the big 5 completed the first time :-) - and we got to see all of them multiple times.
Also saw a hunt of Wild dogs, which Rhys was able to follow quite a long way with his driving skills and knowledge of the park. It was great fun spending time at the BBQ in the nights and got a lot of good food throughout the day *yummie*. He adjusted all plans just the way we wanted - so we spent all day in the car driving around to see as much as possible.
For us it was good to have a closed car for weather and temperature - especially in the mornings.
All in all it was just a perfect tour, we will definitely pick Endless Summer Tours again when we are back for another Kruger Tour!!!
Thank you Rhys (and sorry it took us so long to write our recommandation)!!!!!!

There really isn't any reason to use anyone else.
We were picked up at our hotel in Johannesburg by Steve Morris for a 4 day 3 night Safari experience. He was to become our tour guide/chef for the next 4 days. Not only was Steve professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and truly concerned that we maximize our experience, he was a darn good cook to boot! We saw the big 5 and more wildlife than we could have hoped for.. Incredible experience. I have absolutely nothing negative to say except I am sad that it is over. These guys true desire is that you walk away with incredible memories. I only wish this site would allow me to give Endless Summer Tours 10 stars.

Incredible Safari Experience - couldn't recommend enough!
We booked a private 4 day Safari with Endless Summer Tours and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. We booked the safari only a week before departing for our trip and we arrived into Jo'burg airport to be greeted by Rhys who drive us up to Kruger. As soon as we arrived in the park the windows went down and the animal sightings began. Due to Rhys' incredible experience and eyes we saw so many more animals than we ever expected. Having dreamt of going on safari all my life it really was a trip of a lifetime for us. Another highlight was the delicious and plentiful food cooked by Rhys, it was a great intro into South African food and we really felt spoilt. We had the best time with Rhys and haven't been able to stop talking about it since we've got home. We really couldn't recommend enough.

Great and well organized tour with an excellent and friendly guide
We booked a private (5 people) 5 day, 4 night tour in Blyde River Canyon and Kruger National Park with Endless Summer Tour for the begining of August 2018. It was a wonderful experience!
Our tour guide was Brett, who collected us from Johannesburg on day one. We visited Blyde River Canyon in the late afternoon, especially the sunset at Bourke's Luck Potholes was amazing. Excellent accomodation at Mogodi’s Lodge.
We then passed three days in Kruger Park with a very good accomodation for the first night in Berg-en-Dal rest camp where we have seen Buffalos, Rhinos and Elephants passing close to our bungalow in the evening!
We spent the two following nights in Skukuza rest camp. We saw many Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffe, Zebra, Lions, African Wild Dogs, Buffalos, one Leopard close to our vehicle and also beautiful birds! The sunset safari and the night safaris were great experiences. In August, the sunset safari was the best one for us since it begins during the day and it ends at night.
Brett is a good cook and a very nice and friendly guy! Above all, he is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about wildlife and highly recommandable for people who want to make pictures since he was always looking for the best viewing angle.
We highly recommend Endless Summer Tour.

Spectacular!
My husband booked a four day safari with Endless Summers as the perfect start to our honeymoon. He had heavily researched different safari companies, but this one offered everything he was looking for - transportation from Jo'burg, a knowledgeable tour guide, our privacy and freedom to experience the trip our way, staying inside the park, and a fire at our huts every night. It was perfect! Our tour guide, Steve, was so knowledgeable of not only the animals but also the park. He knew exactly where and when to go to increase our chances of having some great animal sightings. We ended up seeing 14 lions, one leopard, and a cheetah during our safari (among countless other animals). Steve handled everything, so we were able to sit back and enjoy every moment of the safari. Steve had a braai for us every night and took pride in introducing us to South African food and beverages. His company was a plus too! We so enjoyed our conversations with Steve during the drive and dinners. My husband even conspired with the company prior to our trip to arrange a private, romantic dinner for just the two of us on one of the evenings. It was so special. They were so accommodating and their attention to detail and our experience was truly incredible. Two drives with the park rangers were included, but we wanted to also go on the morning hike. Steve helped us arrange that as well. It was really up to us as to what and when we wanted to be out or what our priorities were. I highly recommend this company! On our last day, we met another couple who had been there the same amount of days that we had, but they had not booked a tour and were exploring the park on their own. After speaking with them, we realized that they had not seen a fraction of what we had seen and hadn't learned hardly anything about the animals living in the park. They had not been able to maximize their time either because they were handling all of the bookings and fees, meals, and navigating the park themselves. By the end of the conversation, they told us that they wished that they had booked with a guide. We couldn't have been happier! Thank you guys!

Incredible Personalized Experience - Krueger 4 Day Private Safari
From the moment we inquired about a safari in Krueger National Park Endless Summer Tours were always answering our questions, offering advice, and making our experience wonderful. Rhys scheduled our tour giving us all the information we needed to make the safari a success. When we arrived at the airport, Stephen picked us up (at 5:30 A.M. - thanks for being a trooper), and took us on the adventure of a lifetime. Within 5 minutes of arriving in Krueger, we saw a rhino and our adventures continued throughout our 4-day trip. He was knowledgeable as we completed our Kruger Safari Guide Book having a little game of checking off every animal we saw in the park. Stephen made incredible typical South African meals, helped get a bat out of our bungalow, and spent every evening chatting with us about life. Our favorite night was spent at Orpen where we came back from a day of drives to a view of 20 elephants in the watering hole right outside our bungalow.

From the moment we were met at the airport by Brett to the end everything went perfectly
The communication all along was good and the service by Brett, ( who has to be the best bush guide in Africa) was outstanding. It was far better than we expected and despite the rains (which we bought with us) we saw everything imaginable really close up. The rains kept the cats at bay that that means we have to come again which is an excellent idea!!
The lodge and hotel were all perfect as was the food and choices we were offered.
Once again Brett Drew was outstanding!
Thanks
