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.

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)!!!!!!

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.

Amazing experience with great guide
We went for a custom private trip. Starting from Durban, with day trip to Lesotho, then onward to St Lucia, up through Swaziland (now Eswatini) (staying at Mlilwane Game Reserve) to Kruger NP (staying at Crocodile Bridge and Lower Sabie Rest Camps). Ant was our guide and driver and was fantastic all the way. Everything was well organised and planned, including breakfast and evening Braais. The accommodation was perfect for what we wanted, a mixture of guest house, tented and traditional beehive-style, both en-suite and communual facilities. Ant also worked to get the best possible location for the tented accommodation, which paid dividend by having hyenas and rhinos just meters away. The tour was done at the pace we wanted. As both my wife and I are avid wildlife photographers, there was no problem with just sitting by a waterhole for as long as we wanted to, sitting back and watching leopards and lions rest for a few hours, or driving down random back roads through Kruger. The wildlife did not disappoint with sightings of all the big 5, most fairly close-up! It's clear that both Ant and the other guides at EST have enormous respect for the wildlife and landscape, they do look after you well, but they also look after their own country. With years of experience they understand how the animals may react, and put you in the best (and safest) possible position for both you and the animals. If something wasn't right, or the animal was agitated (usually by too many other tour groups crowding the animal), Ant made the decision to move on and leave it be. Could not have asked for a better guide or company to travel with. The only disappointment was that we couldn't stay for longer. Eagerly waiting to go back!

amazing adventure
We would like to thank you very much for organizing an amazing trip to Kruger Park and Blyde Canyon. The formula of the trip you invented caused experiences that we will never forget. A guide who not only carry and show curiosities, but also gave a taste of amazing flavors. All the long chats about wildlife and South Africa in general made this trip even more interesting . Unforgettable conversations under the stars, which from our point of view are unreal… Sounds of the night in the bush… A guide who is intelligent, polite and helpful at every step. Congrats Steve!
Meeting with Anthony was another story. Interesting conversation about business, South Africa and Poland. Shopping at the butcher’s showed us your philosophy of customer approach. Bravo Gentlemen!
I’m 55 years old. I have seen in my life a lot of, but such a travel company with such a philosophy first time. If anytime South Africa ones more, of course with Endless Summer.

An experience for life!
My girlfriend and I went on six days trip with Brett and got an experience for life! We were picked up from our hotel in Jo’burg and spent the first night in the Blyde Canyon area and four nights at two different camps inside the Kruger Park. The safari was a fantastic, a VERY skilled guide, good food, nice accommodation and a lot of beautiful nature and animals. The game drives with Brett was very good, he knows where to find the animals and he had a lot of knowledge to share. We had included some game drives with the rangers in the park, but we decided not to use all of them because we got much better drives with our own guide. The extra money we paid for sleeping inside the park and a private guide from Endless Summer was worth every rand. High value for money and a very nice experience. We will be back!

"Amazing Trip!!"
My girlfriend and I have just returned from our 4 Night Kruger safari and Blyde Canyon tour. Simply an unbelievable experience. And we were thoroughly impressed with our guide Steve. His professionalism, care to duty, knowledge of the park and all its habitats and passion for his work were remarkable to say the least. Along with his amazing cooking abilities... . Amazing. We have both left Kruger to return home but rest assure that Kruger will never leave us. We definitely recommend Endless Summer Tours to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Excellent Safari of a Lifetime to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve with Endless Summer Tours
Our safari with Endless Summer Tours far exceeded our expectations. Our private guide, Steve, was well-versed, enthusiastic, calm under pressure (with a pair of bull elephants in the road), and a generous and accomplished cook. The animals were amazing, the housing comfortable, the opportunities and flexibility for optional activities, such as snorkeling in the Indian Ocean and visiting a cheetah preserve, added variety and interest to our trip, and Steve's knowledge of the indigenous peoples, history, flora, and animals made for an outstanding experience that we will never forget. In Steve's favorite words: "It was Epic"! Dealing with the company was straightforward, and we always got prompt answers to any questions we had. We felt very taken care of, and recommend Endless Summer Tours to anyone.

11 day Epic Adventure!
Endless Summer is not just a brand, or a tour company. To us, it’s family. This is our second time adventuring with our friends at Endless Summer and as expected, they exceeded our expectations.
Booking and communication is always quick and easy. These guys know what they are doing and are the best at it! The itinerary they built for us was one for the books!
For the first half of our trip in the Berg, we had Steve as our guide. Excellent navigator, planner, chef, and overall human being. He knows all the history, facts and trails in the area. We did some epic hikes, challenged ourselves physically and mentally, explored the waterfalls and caves of the bushmen, ate like kings, and just truly enjoyed every moment. Endless summer chose the perfect accommodations for us in the best locations!
The second half of our trip was in Kruger guided by the master himself, Rhys. Again, the accommodations were perfectly chosen in the park for the best roads and wildlife viewing. Rhys has incredible knowledge of the park, the animals, and South Africa in general. The knowledge they offer on these tours is a huge bonus! We did tons of driving missions looking for animals, had some EPIC sightings… the big 5 and beyond!, ate like kings yet again (the braii skills are insane), and had so many laughs!
I will recommend Endless Summer over and over again. We will continue to come back and travel with them because of their sheer love for what they do. Their passion sparks the passion in us and I can’t wait to come back and see what more South Africa has to offer with the best guides leading the way!
Thank you guys for being the best!
