Amazing experience
5/5

I traveled to Kruger with my wife for a 5 days safari and since the beginning was such amazing experience.
The attention to my questions and request were promptly replied by Rochelle and staff. I sent a lot of e-mails and they replied carefully all the time.
Since the transfer from Jburg to the park was really easy. Friendly staff.
The accommodations were exactly what we are looking for. Tent camping, simple but really confortable and safe.

The guides really know about the park and wildlife gaming. It's all about luck, but they were able to spot all the animals... zebras, elephants, the big five, plus cheetahs, birds, small animals (i.e: chameleon)

Perfect service and great tour
5/5

I have sent my parents (70+) on a group tour with Kruger Park Tours, and they loved the tour.
The service was excellent, everything was explained very clearly and the tour leader was very friendly and helpfull. The accommodations were great as well and very suitable for an elderly couple.
Many thanks Kruger Park Tours for your excellent service!

I long dreamed of going on the perfect safari.. Kruger Park Tours made it come true.
5/5

My title above is no exaggeration, I had a perfect safari. Every aspect of my visit was perfect. From the help I received organizing my ideas and choosing the right safari for me, all the way to my ride back to Johannesburg from Kruger Park.

I was lost with too many Safari options and speaking to several booking agents. I quickly became aware that Kruger Park Tours was going above and beyond what the others were doing for me. They spent weeks emailing, suggesting and quoting me despite my indecision. In the end they narrowed it down to the perfect Safari for me. For those curious, I did 4 nights and 5 days in hut. I went on 5 safari drives, 2 safari walks, and a scenic tour of other areas outside the park. I saw the big 5 many times over, and then some. The guides are terrific!! they know their wildlife and they know how to find it. They answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and a smile. It was truly and amazing experience to be out there. Then back in the camp the wonderful treatment just continued. We were so informed, so well fed. I mean really well fed! The food was terrific, my favorite was Kudu. The chef was great and food preparation and service was top notch and completely unexpected. I had thought I might be roughing it just a little, but it was not the case. A special thanks to Sello, Jeremiah and Kevin and the rest of the gang for making my Safari the best experience of my life. And, of course to Rochelle at Kruger Park Tours who made it all happen for me. Thank you everyone.

Outstanding Safari Experience!
5/5

I recently had an unforgettable experience (26-31 Oct 24)with Wild Kruger Travel , made even more special by the outstanding travel expertise and personalized touch provided by Mr. Johan. From the initial planning stages,
Johan provided prompt responses to all our questions, ensuring we felt confident and well-prepared for our trip. His attention to detail truly stood out, and he went above and beyond to make our experience special.
Upon arrival, Johan arranged to meet us in person, warmly welcoming us and ensuring we had everything we needed. He even surprised us with a thoughtful gift, adding a personal touch that made us feel incredibly valued. Throughout the journey, the arrangements were seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of Kruger without a single worry.

One of the highlights of our trip was the game drive led by Mr. Andre Joubert, an expert guide thoughtfully arranged by Johan. Andre’s knowledge of the area and wildlife was impressive, enriching our experience with insights and close-up views of the stunning wildlife. His passion and professionalism made the drive feel exciting and safe, enhancing our appreciation for the landscape and its animals.

This trip was seamless, exciting, well-organized, and full of memorable experiences, all thanks to Johan’s exceptional planning and the expertise of Wild Kruger’s team. If you’re looking for a travel company that will make your journey truly special, I highly recommend Wild Kruger Travel and especially Johan and Andre for their remarkable service.

Johan Buys was an excellent tour operator.
5/5

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!
5/5

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!
