Fantastic experience at a great value.
Our family just completed a 4day camping safari. What a great experience! We saw all the "big" animals and so many smaller ones. Nothing left off our list. Damien our guide kept the vibe fun and James our cook kept us well fed. Daniel helped is wrap up our experience professionally. The camping made the whole trip so authentic. Rustic but comfortable, with clean facilities. Hearing the wildlife from our tents was such a unique experience. Would highly recommend.

Delivered a Lifetime of Memories
For anyone seeking an authentic, world-class African safari experience, the Kruger Safari Company is the first and only call you need to make.
While researching companies for my recent safari, I was fortunate enough to connect with Wayne. From our very first conversation, it was immediately clear that I had found the definitive experts on Kruger National Park and its surrounding private reserves.
What sets the Kruger Safari Company apart is their commitment to personalized service. Wayne took the time to truly listen to what I wanted out of the experience, respected my budget, and provided tailored recommendations. He advised that a true, local African safari was the ideal path and selected the perfect lodge to deliver on every front.
Once the itinerary was set, the execution by the entire Kruger Safari team was flawless. Their communication was outstanding, with responses to my pre-trip questions arriving within hours. They also seamlessly handled complex logistics, including coordinating my return flights from Cape Town to Hoedspruit as I wrapped up a prior trip.
The actual experience far exceeded my highest expectations. The lodge they selected was spectacular, the hospitality was second to none, and the game drives were absolutely priceless. This trip provided me with a lifetime of memories and stands as the single coolest experience of all my global travels.
If you are planning a safari to Kruger National Park or the surrounding private reserves, look no further than the Kruger Safari Company to deliver on your dream. I have already recommended them repeatedly to friends and colleagues, and I do so here without reservation.

Amazing guide with excellent experience
For our honeymoon we booked a safari trip to Tanzania. Our guide Kennedy showed us this beautiful country and told us more about the history and living here. Driving through villages, passing Masai with their cattle next to the road or looking at the beautiful nature, Kennedy always explained what we saw. And then the safari (game drives) themselfs: we went to Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro crater. Kennedy knows his way around all these parks, knows where and how to find the animals and how to safely drive sometimes slippery and usualy bumpy roads. One example about Kennedy’s service: We weren’t really lucking with the lions, but Kennedy never gave up. On our way out of Serengeti, he decided to try one last time and turn into a different road because he knew it was lion territory: and there we were surprised with two adult male lions and three adult female lions, just right infront of the vehicle.
It was amazing to have Kennedy as our guide and we look back on amazing days on the mainland of Tanzania.

The best ever experience from Jockey tours
My 6 nights and 7 days safari experience in the Masai Mara with Jocky Tours and Safaris was absolutely incredible and honestly one of the best trips I have ever taken. Everything from the planning stage to the last day of the safari was handled professionally and with so much care. The team led by Moureen ensured that we were comfortable throughout the journey and every detail was perfectly organized.
The Masai Mara itself is truly magical. Spending several days there allowed us to experience so much more than just wildlife viewing. Every day brought something new and exciting. We witnessed lions hunting, elephants moving in herds, hippos relaxing by the river, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the endless plains. The game drives were long but never tiring because there was always something amazing to see. The beauty of nature in the Mara is difficult to describe unless you experience it yourself.
Our stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp and Ashnil Mara Camp made the safari even more memorable. Both accommodations offered a perfect luxury safari experience. The tents and rooms were elegant, spacious, and very comfortable. I loved how the camps blended luxury with the natural environment around them. Sitting outside in the evenings while enjoying the cool breeze and listening to the sounds of nature was such a peaceful experience.
The hospitality at both camps was exceptional. The staff were always smiling, helpful, and attentive. The food was fresh, delicious, and varied every day, which made the stay even better. Every evening after the game drives, it felt wonderful to return to such comfort and relaxation.
The highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Francis Faru. Faru was simply outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about wildlife. He always knew where to find the animals and made sure we had the best safari experience possible. His driving skills, patience, and attention to detail made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey.
What I appreciated most about Faru was his personality. He was kind, calm, funny, and very easy to interact with. He answered all our questions with so much patience and shared interesting stories and facts during every drive. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and many unforgettable wildlife moments that I will cherish forever.
This safari exceeded all my expectations and gave me memories that will last a lifetime. If anyone is planning a safari in Kenya, I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris without hesitation. The combination of professional organization, luxury accommodation, and an exceptional guide like Francis who made this trip truly unforgettable.

Friendly staff, practical solutions to individual problems, good service
It was very nice experience and we have seen lots of animals. We enjoyed our trip. Moloko was a friendly and knowledgeable safari guide as well as Niki who took care of our individual problems when my wife got sick. We thank both of them!
I advise travellers who are visiting in May or in winter times to be prepared as the safari vehicles get too much wind. Very cold are the morning game drives.
I realised that it may be chaotic to organise different tours for different individuals as each person may have different itinerary. So its important to know your own itinerary and make it clear for the staff to prevent any confusion.
The staff was excellent , very friendly and practical to find solutions.
What could make the service even better is transparency on the itineraries and better communication on whats coming next.

Everything we wished for
Me and my girlfriend did a 4 day camping safari. Lydia arranged everything to our liking. The correspondence was fast and easy. Since we came in the low season we were grouped up with other people from a different company (Suricata Safari). We were lucky to see all of the big five and so many more unique animals thanks to our guide Damion. We even got a visit from buffalos in our camp while staying on top of Ngorongoro crater. Also a big thanks to our chef James who cooked lovely for us. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Kilipath African Safaris.

Great game drives and knowledgeable field guides
Moloko our field guide did an amazing job explaining the different behaviours and species we saw. We were lucky to see a pride of lions and lots of other animals up close. Would definitely recommend!

Safari and Victoria Falls trip
Shann organized our six night trip end to end. All we had to do is be where we were supposed to be. The Shalati Bridge Train Hotel is a must stay if you are doing a safari in Kruger National Park. We stayed at the Waterfalls Lodge in Victoria Falls, the accomodations were just fine, but nothing special. The staff was outstanding. We highly recommend Shann and Safari.com for your vacation planning. They are outstanding!
