Johan Buys was an excellent tour operator.
Johan Buys from Wild Kruger was very prompt in his replying to our many questions. Comparing to other safari's this was excellent value for money. Our tour guides gave us personal attention and was very knowledgeable. Our transportation from pickup from Skukuza airport up to the point where we were dropped off in Pretoria was punctual, reliable and comfortable. If we have the opportunity to do a safari again, we would defenitely use Wild Africa again.

Trip of a lifetime!
Where do I even start? Johan was so quick to reposed to my emails and incredibly helpful along the way. He paid attention to detail as we were celebrating our anniversary on the trip and even surprised us personally with gifts. We did the Kruger and Sabi Sands tour and it was outstanding! Although for me, it wasn't enough time. For my husband it was, but I could do this for weeks and not get bored. It only left me wanting more. The guides at the lodges and Franz our Kruger guide were exceptional. Franz is probably one of the most well connected and knowledgable guide you could ask for. His passion for wildlife, conservation and sharing that love with guests made the trip what it truly was. The camp in Kruger was very different than the lodges in Sabi Sands, but I liked how we changed it all up. Saw the big 5 in a short amount of time and listened to hyenas in the middle of the night! If you are considering using this tour company, believe me they are worth it. If possible, I would also pay more and have a private tour while in Kruger, we just happened to get lucky. Thank you again Johan for making our South African dreams come true!

Good planning, Easy to reach out to.
Team organising my trip was really good and efficient at communication, email, Whatsapp, phone call, all was okay with them!
They booked in Umkumbe River Resort in Sabi Sands and a government resort in Kruger. Umkumbe was fantastic.
Only slight area of improvement was the itinerary wasn't clear on what to expect when transported to Kruger. Safari schedule wasn't clear.

Trip of a Lifetime
Johan was incredibly helpful in helping me plan my first safari excursion. With all of the safari options available in Africa it became very overwhelming. I reviewed a number of pre-planned itineraries and decided that building a custom tour was the best option for my party and Johan was very receptive. He provided a number of lodge options at different price points so I could look at everything and make the best decisions for our budget. We stayed at two different lodges and had different experiences at both which we really enjoyed. Umkumbe River Lodge - was quaint and we had the best safari guide who was very invested in making sure we could get as close to all the animals as possible. Kapama Southern Camp was out-of-this world with their level of service. They met all of our dietary needs and the food was incredible. We loved the boma experience in the evenings and the entertainment provided.
Overall our experience with Wild Kruger was top tier - payments were easy, transportation to airports and other lodges were seamless and all of our questions were answered so we felt well prepared. I have already forwarded on Wild Kruger's information to friends to help them plan future trips. I would absolutely recommend Johan and Wild Kruger and would use them again.

Clear communication with exceptional customer service and great value
Johan and the Wild Kruger team provided an exceptional safari experience for my friend and me. From the start, their quote was competitive and clearly outlined everything we would experience with our booking. Having completed the tour, I can confirm that everything promised was delivered! Johan was very diligent about collecting all the information needed from us (dietary restrictions, arrival times), so that our travel to and from and within the reserves was seamless and worry-free. The reserve operators, drivers, and others Wild Kruger partnered with were all first-rate and created a beautiful experience I know I will cherish for years to come. I would recommend Wild Kruger to anyone traveling to South Africa for the first time and wanting a relaxing and engaging safari experience.

Excellent, Supportive, Experienced
The tour we chose was based on choosing a two centre experience, the private lodge at Sabi Sands was perfect, tranquil and excellent value for money, the 2nd experience was actually in Kruger National park, with a private guide ( who was flexible, knowledgeable and went above and behind to make our trip and experience) the only fault with the stay in Kruger where the extremely rude and unprofessional front desk staff at the main camp, I have never experienced such rude and I’ll mannered reception team. Thank goodness we had a tour guide who managed them completely, we were really impressed with the attention to detail our guide took, we felt completely safe at all times and he really understood our Safari needs. We have made a friend for life and will defo be coming back to Kruger which is truly magnificent, but only on the condition we have the same amazing guide, all transfers where timely and comfortable, we can highly recommend this company, thank you so much .

The most out of limited time
Our Safari-Tour was just perfect! We only had three days but it was definitely enough to see all the animals. It was great to see the differences between the big Kruger park and a private reserve. Service and communication was also very good. I would definitely recommend this tour!

We had a versatile safari experience as a high-light of our journey
+ Communication (pre-safari) was fast
+ Our guide was very good and an excellent story teller
+ Food (local specialities prepared by the guide‘s wife) was delicious
+ Combination of Kruger camps + Sabi Sands luxury accommodation gave us a more holistic idea of the different types of parks and safari styles
- panorama route was below our expectation (looking back we‘d rather choose to spend one more day in the Kruger nationalpark because)

7-day Affordable safari at Tremisana - just great!
Really impressed with the high quality of everything offered; Kruger Park Tours did a fantastic job organizing our whole trip, having different activities to do each of the days, the whole team was very responsive to our initial email requests always replying in a timely manner, and they continued taking care of us during our whole stay.
With the help of Sonja and Johan we have spent one of the most incredible experiences in our life! We are very grateful and definitely will try to come back again to one of the safaris organized by Kruger Park Tours.

Lovely week in Tremisana Lodge
Kruger Park Tours arranged a 7 day visit to Tremisana Lodge through an agent. All included: pickup, dropoff, food and safaris. It was all well organised. I enjoyed my stay and the way Kruger Park Tours handled everything. They are very prompt in answering when you have a question, always friendly in their mails. I had to change my pickup-location just a week before I started and it was no problem at all!! I love the way they work.
