First time on a Safari, we saw the big 5 on the first day. The guide was extremely knowledgeable & very friendly. Truck was equipped with bottles of drinking water, blankets & ponchos.

5/5

Bhekifa worked hard to ensure we saw the big 5 and we did! He was very intelligent about the animals and the plants! He is full of kindness and humility and gives you more than just a safari tour. Thank you, Bhekifa. It was truly a pleasure from my husband and I!

Informative, puntual and superfriendly!
5/5

We booked a 5-day Safari Trip with Red Africa. They partner with the Elephant Herd and we get why!
We got to know a total of four guides. Some where drivers and others were tourguides within Kruger and Panorama Route. All were extremely friendly and passionate in their own way. They were also punctual and cared about us having the best time. The tours were amazing and worth all the money, but getting to know the guides was such a huge part of why it was so great. Shout out to Bekhifa and Trevor!

Superb value for money - and saw big five before lunch two days running!
5/5

The elephant herd team were excellent. We had a full 10 hour drive, in which we saw different parts of the park. The drivers worked together via radio if they had seen Lions, Leopards or Rhinos. Great value for money.

Great safari tour, great guide!
5/5

We had a half day morning tour at Kruger. We saw a lot of animals. The guide had an eagle eye and found a lot of animals. He was also very experienced and had a lot of knowledge. So nice.

The tour handled us was insightful, thoughtful and accommodating. They give best recommendations!
5/5

The tour was worth for the value for money. Brandon and his team was great, and even accommodate us and provide us different options when we need to lower down our budget. The alternative provided was beyond satisfactory. They were very friendly, and handled us in a very thoughtful manner when one of our activity got postponed due to the place itself. We were picked up slightly later than scheduled time for our first day, but the guide accommodated us by providing us extra time at the end. We also had trouble with change of plans as one of us had to do a detour and Brandon had patiently waited for one of our friends to arrive at the airport and transfer him safely and in timely manner to Umbkumbe. Please do the panoramic tour with them, cause their guides aren't just insightful on the safari, but also others and we truly enjoyed it! We ended up spending additional day with Elephant and Herd Tours. We couldn't have asked for better.

Excellent guide, with the best wildlife spot eyes there are and lots of wildlife knowledge
5/5

Our guide, Bhekika Ngomane did an excellent job. He finds al the wildlife, even during driving the safari jeep. He knows a lot about the animals and can explain it in perfect English. The funny thing was that he understood parts of what we told each other, because Dutch and the South African language have some similarities. Next time we are going to ask for Bhekika again!!!

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Incredible service from start to finish. Prompt and early entry means you get opportunities to see rare sighting before they hide from the heat. Our tour guide Smiley was absolutely amazing! His knowledge not just about the animals but the history was second to none.
My only issue is the lunch the guides used to receive as part of the service has been stopped. They work insanely hard, and this needs to be reinstated!!
