Unmatched Kruger Experience!!
This was an absolute 5 star experience! I would recommend a tour with Rhys and Wade to strangers and friends alike. The trip to South Africa was a bit outside our comfort zone and Rhys’ responsiveness, knowledge, and help during the booking and planning process made this big trip feel more approachable. Rhys and Wade’s flexibility and focus on our small group’s wants and priorities was a huge benefit of this trip as opposed to being on a a larger, more structured group tour. From the commutes between JBurg and Kruger, to the homemade meals, expert animal sightings, unmatched Kruger knowledge, and little things like providing a surprise birthday treat for my fiancé and hearing our favorite veggies in discussion and serving them for dinner the next night, we felt safe and well cared for! We will 100% be back for another safari one day and Rhys and Wade will be our first call!

Only Company To Use for Safari!
No need to look at any other companies. Endless Summer is great!
Rhys was very responsive during the planning process and focuses on making the Safari custom to exactly what you are looking for. He is a great cook and very knowledgeable about the animals, as is Wade who also was a guide on our trip. Highly recommend - our group loved the safari in Kruger.

If you are looking for an safari to Kruger Park I would highly recommend Endless Summer as operator and Wade as a guide!

Great Shore Excursion
We (4 of us) had an excellent tour of Tala Game Reserve and Phezulu in Valley of 1000 Hills when our cruise ship came into port in Durban. Our guide, Sibongile, did a great jol of driving and narrating so that we were able to see both areas during our limited time in port. She was very knowledgeable about the animals that we encountered in Tala. It was a much better alternative to be in a small group rather than on a ship's tour.

Beautiful scenery and animals. And the dignified Big 5.
Sukukuza is a convenient camp with shops and lots of people.
Malelane is a camp where we can feel the quiet nature with no shops and few people. Also, the accommodations at Malelane Satellite Camp were clean and very comfortable. We also saw shooting stars at night.
We stayed 2 nights in Sukukuza and 1 night in Malelane and were able to complete the Big 5. Thank you to game drivers Mornay and Opa.
We would like to thank Wade from Endless Summer Tours for all of the arrangements for Johannesburg, including preparing the meals and providing airport transfers.
Safaris are generally safe, and we should have some coins to use the restrooms at gas stations along the way to Johannesburg.
Game drives in open vehicles early in the morning or during rain can be quite cold, so warm clothing is recommended.
In the end, Rhys' competent planning, reservations and Wade's caring guide made for a good trip that will be remembered for a lifetime. We are very much obliged to you.
We highly recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Unforgettable experience
We had a fantastic time on tour with Endless Summer. It was better than expected. Our guide Wade, was very good inside the park to share is knowledge but also as cooker and driver. Thanks to him, our trip will stay unforgettable. We would highly recommend Endlesse Summer if you want to have a personal tour inside the park and someone who know the bush very well. Sharing moment for dinner and also during drive. Thank you very much for this incredible experience.

Amazing Kruger Safari
My wife and I had an amazing trip! Our guide, Wade, was very knowledgeable, prompt, and genuinely wanted us to have a great time - which we did! He was an excellent cook and has a knack for spotting well hidden animals! We had great conversations concerning a wide range of topics. I would not hesitate recommending Endless Summers for a safari or any other tour they may offer!

The tour operator was reliable, knowledgeable and friendly.
On October 10, 2023 we started our 4 days safari experience from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park. We looked for different options but we decided to go with Endless Summer Tour and it was the perfect choice for us. It was four of us. Before our trip, Rhys was communicating with us to understand our needs and expectations. Based on Rhys' suggestions and our expectations, we enjoyed our first experience in Kruger National Park. We stayed in two different locations at the park. This option allowed us to see the big 5 plus many other animals. We decided to choose a private tour and an open game drive for two days and our driver, Lucky was fabulous. Our experience was memorable and we truly enjoyed it. Rhys' cooking is delicious but personally, my only suggestion would be for you to make sure that you discuss with Rhys your dietary needs. I highly recommend this company. Rhys is reliable, knowledgeable and friendly.

Great experiance
My wife and I had the pleasure to visit Kruger with Rhys from Endless Summer Tours. We have been picked up by Rhys at Johannesburg international airport and after a pleasant drive to Kruger and it was absolutely brilliant not only did we had 4 unforgettable days at Kruger but Rhys with his knowledge was able to show us the Big 5 and plenty more. Rhys’s cooking at the fire was perfect. We will be back in the near future and definitely will call om Rhys to give us a superb memory again.

Incredible Service and Amazing Experiences
My wife and I toured Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and St. Lucia with Endless Summer Tours in 2014 and enjoyed the experience so much that we returned with friends in August 2023. This time around we toured the Blyde Canyon area and Kruger National Park. The insight, knowledge, and experience that Endless Summer provides is unprecedented, as evidenced by some of the amazing things we witnessed on our tour. Our tour was completely private and customized to our preferences. We saw absolutely everything we hoped for and many things we never imagined we'd see in person, including several up-close and successful leopard hunts, a entire pride of lions stalking a herd of zebras, and a large litter of wild dog pups. Certainly there are no guarantees that everyone will have such amazing encounters, but Endless Summer Tours is probably the closest thing one can get to a guaranteed amazing experience. Endless Summer also booked all of our lodgings, picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, drove us from destination to destination, paid the park entry fees, and even cooked most of our meals, which really helped maximize time in the parks. Meals at the bush camp restaurants can be quite time-consuming, so having those prepared meals meant we had more time out in the bush with nature. The meals they prepared were also absolutely spectacular. Endless Summer even helped put us in touch with other reputable guides in neighboring countries, which saved us a lot of legwork. If you're planning a trip to South Africa, do not hesitate to book Endless Summer Tours. Trying to have the same experiences on your own (self-driving / self-catering) is a futile endeavor. Do yourself a huge favor and hire the experts, relax, and have an absolutely amazing time.
