Everything runs smoothly
5/5

All the arrangements made by the travel agency were met.
The safari Jeep we had for our group of 5 was clean, spacious and with surprisingly comfortable chairs (for a vehicle of that kind), even more noticeable especially when going off the paved roads.
Our kind and very good humoured ranger/driver always arrived early and didn’t loose time taking us to the Park. He kept in touch with colleagues all the time on the radio thus being informed of the locations of the wild animals where he would subsequently immediately take us. We saw every possible animal more than once and often in a group and the last day he even waited quite some time at the place where the leopard was (he could see it while we didn’t), after a while we could spot it too when the leopard finally got up and moved 20 feet, and before it layed down again and “disappeared”, his spots camouflaged blending with the leaves on the ground (yellow due to the autumn season).
The ranger/driver took us to nice places for breakfast and lunch and, more importantly, he taught us a lot about every animal we saw, including the birds!

Spot on in every way
5/5

We used this company for a full week of exploration including Kruger Park, the panoramic route, chimp sanctuary and transportation to the airport for our flights home. They sent the same wonderful guide/driver for the whole week and he made every trip memorable and informative.

Trevor was excellent, provided amazing animal sightings, including Pride kill and leopard tracking.
5/5

We used Elephant Herd for the first day of our 6 day Safari. Our Guide Trevor made the experience exceptional, including leopard tracking (he was able to anticipate where leopard would go next so we were able to have a solo view-everyone else crowded on the other side of the river). We saw 4 of the Big 5 that day and he gave us a route for the following day when we were Self-Driving to see the 5th, which we did. He was clearly Senior Guide as was consistently asked by other Guides for sightings. Able to sight both mammals and birds was a big plus. Also his stories were amusing and relatable. Highly Recommend.

Excellent service from Bev
5/5

Had an amazing safari due to great selection of lodges from our agent Bev. She was easy to contact and helped plan the trip from start to finish. She even personally picked us up from the airport. How amazing is that!

Wow what an amazing team Brandon and team were amazing
5/5

Just back from Krugar and what an amazing experience. Brandon and team couldn't do enough to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We ticked our boxes in Krugar national Park and Sabi Sands private park. Our lodges in both places were just perfect and the attention to details was incredible. I'd definitely recommend Elephant Herds for the trip of a lifetime. We got so close to the animals which was beyond our wildest dreams. Well done Elephant Herds

Extremely helpful & accommodating, they created the most unforgettable experience of our lives.
5/5

I can not recommend Elephant Herd Safaris Enough. They created a personalized trip with everything that we wanted to experience & explore in South Africa. We wanted to experience Kruger & Sabi Sands private reserve & the accommodation they offered was outstanding 5 star with exceptional service & food. Our flight was delayed and it caused an issue with our itinerary but they were at the end of the phone helping me navigate new flights & changed our itinerary to ensure everything we wanted to do was still feasible with some amendments. Their communication was quick & tour guides were extremely knowledgeable & helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I am so thankful I choose this company. The peace of mind for having everything organized and support when needed took the stress out planning the trip myself. I would highly recommend they really went out of their way to make this trip special.
