Expert and fun
5/5

Starting in the central Kruger we travelled all the way to the north and experienced the baobabs and forested areas, then travelled all the way to the south and experienced the mountains of the South. Over the ten days in the park Shoes managed to find everything and more we could have hoped for. we stayed in a different camp every night with Berg en Dal being a great way to end the trip. Cant wait to go back

Safari - Once in a lifetime worth doing it!
5/5

We were a group of 7 people from Romania and have searched a lot for choosing a safari company and we made the right choice. Khalanga Safaris has done a great job, Shoes was a great guide and company, cooking and sharing with us all we needed to know about the safari. It was very important for us that Shoes was local and he knew all the insights, we wanted to experience the original safari, sleeping in the camp and Johanna and Shoes explained it all beforehand. We booked everything before flying to South Africa so we were a bit nervous as we did not know what to expect, but Johanna took great care of us and she was writing WhatsApp messages even at 22 at night to make sure everything is well planned.
Great experience and value for money and we would certainly choose them again if we were to do it again. Thanks a lot Khalanga Safaris! We will not forget our first safari experience with you!

It was perfect!
5/5

I was on a 4 days game drive with Khalanga Safaris in Kruger National Park. Khalanga Safaris took me to this place even if I was the only tourist. Coming from Germany after the boarders recently opened there were not that much tourists. I had the chance to do the trip alone. Shoes is a perfect guide knowing a lot about the wildlife and the countryside. He could find hidden animals and took care that I can take a lot of pictures. Especially at some very busy places (lions and leopards). It was my first trip with Khalanga Safaris but certainly not my last.

A truly wonderful experience for our family!
5/5

A truly wonderful experience for our family! We have recently returned from a very special trip to Kruger where Shoes was our guide for 4 days! We wanted to see as much as possible of the park and he tailor made our trip to ensure this happened. Shoes has a true passion for the park given that he was born there and his knowledge and enthusiasm was outstanding and made it a very special experience for both us and our children! We really hope to be back one day and will definitely be getting in touch with Shoes! Shoes' colleague Emmanuel was also a very warm and engaging person and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Panorama route with him!

Better service in the Kruger Park and along the Panorama Route is not possible!
5/5

During the preparations, we defined each point of the program in detail. Then the program was carried out exactly as we had agreed earlier. Shoes is a great organizer, a great guide and a very good driver. He has a great knowledge of Africa and animals. He is also a very good cook. All his meals were very tasty! He organized also an ethnographic tour for us to the place where he was born. Shoes is a well-mannered and polite person and it's hard to imagine a better guide on a Kruger Park safari... Thanks a lot for beautiful experience in South Africa and all the best to Khalanga!

incredible adventure
5/5

I started my adventure in Johannesburg where I explored the city and its surroundings in a safe way. Then a visit to the Kruger Park, organization at a high level. Shoes has a great knowledge of animals and people. I am happy with every minute spent in his company, I know that we took every opportunity to see what South Africa has to offer. Delicious meals surrounded by nature.

Incredible and interesting experience
5/5

The tour with Shoes was the best experience in our vacation. He is really knowledgeable and have a lot of experience. We learned a lot and could explore the Kruger-Nationalpark in our own pace. He did the extra miles and tried everything to give us a wonderful and stunning experience. The all in all price performance is perfect. He has an answer for every question and is communicative.

The two days where awesome and we can definitely recommend this company to everyone.

Amazing safari
5/5

Can only recommend Khalanga Safaris. Our 5 trip with Shoes as field guide was fantastic. Shoes has a great knowledge of wildlife, birds, landscape and fauna. Driving with Khalanga Safaris is never boring. Shoes is friendly, really funny and has a great knowledge. We really like watching birds, Shoes know a lot about birds, and did a lot to show us new species and different experiences.
Our 6 trip with Khalanga Safaris must include overnight stays in the park.

Smooth booking process, well planned and well guided by a very experienced man named Shoes.
5/5

Khalanga Safaris is definitely a 10/10 in our books, so much so that I was already planning the next trip with my partner prior to the tour finishing. Our guide Shoes was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and really took the time to teach us about all types of wildlife and their habitats. The trip was very affordable and planned incredibly well where we were able to venture for bushwalks, check out different camps and stay in different bungalows and even have bush braais/BBQ’s and meals at Krugers restaurants, all while getting up close and personal to the worlds most beautiful animals roaming free and happy.

It was nice to have some traditional home cooked meals made by Shoes and also a big thanks to his wife Johanna as well for going through the effort to bake us some delicious FRESH hot German bread and soft lemon cookies for our game drives which were an absolute treat! On a personal note I had accidentally left my headphones behind after the trip and Johanna was incredibly helpful in finding them and posting them to me. Thanks again and looking forward to our next 6 day tour
