Fascinating experience of the African bush with beautiful Panorama
We had organized a tailor-made 6-days 5 nights tour with Khalanga Safaris starting & ending from Johannesburg. The communication was handled over email and was professional. Their responses were prompt and the team was always in contact with us to ensure that the itinerary was exactly like we wanted. We also took suggestions from the Khalanga team for our trip planning which turned out to be very valuable. We also found the quotes from Khalanga Safaris to be the most reasonable among the few we selected.
Our trip included a 1-day Panorama route tour followed by full day safaris in Kruger along with a couple of SANParks tours (Bush-walk, Sunset drive, Night drive) and a shuttle back to Joburg.
Everything went perfectly as planned and we had a blast of a time in Kruger. Our guide in Kruger was Shoes and we chose a private open safari vehicle.
Shoes was highly knowledgeable about the various animals and birds and his guiding was top notch. His logistics skills were also were helpful in ensuring we got the best out of our safaris. He was very professional and his ethical methods of guiding impressed us a lot. He also had contacts throughout all the camps we visited and helped us in receiving any additional information and help that was required at the time.
We stayed in Lower Sabie, Crocodile Bridge and Letaba during our stay and were able to sight several animals including Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Leopards, Baboons, Hyena, Wild Dogs, Honey badgers, Jackals, Mongoose, Waterbucks etc Also, not to mention the wide variety of birds, all of which Shoes was able to identify for us. His expertise of the locations also meant that we were able to visit some of the unique hides and lookouts within Kruger. We also had many interesting conversations about the bush and wildlife conservation with Shoes that intrigued and educated us.
In one of the lookouts we were able to spot 2-male lions which looked like a spec of dust in the scene. We were also lucky to spot 2 male Giraffes sparring, baby elephant drinking its mother's milk, a pair of mating lions. A few special memories, some of which we take with us and will always treasure, thanks to Khalanga and Shoes.
I would highly recommend Khalanga Safaris and Shoes for any of the Kruger Safaris or Panorama Tours. I wish Khalanga Safaris and Shoes all the best for their future and do wish we see them again soon.

Shoes knows how to do a real safari!
A safari of 5 unforgettable days. We have seen and done so much. From the Blyde canyon to almost every point of the Kruger Park. The big five is not difficult to find with Khalanga safaris. Shoes always knows how to find the beautiful spots for the sunsets!
At the end of the day shoes cooked for us, we got traditional south african dishes and were delicious. Certainly the breakfast was very extensive.
In summary, if you want to do a safari without worrying about safety, food, Big 5 then Khalanga Safaris is the best option!

Excellent, personal, professional, attentive - a great experience
We spent three nights in Kruger Park with Khalanga Safaris. It was absolutely fantastic. We got wind, we got rain, we got sun. We enjoyed the different places, the food and the service. It was easy to book and the owners are very attentive and friendly! Thank you Johanna and Shoes!
We think we had the best guide in the entire park. Donald is outstanding. He always does the little extra. He tells you about the animals, he tells you about the plants and he shares personal stories. He drives the extra mile so that you really get out the maximum of your trip. Donald was a very safe driver and a good chef. Thank you so much Donald and Khalanga Safaris! Highly recommended!

Amazing experience!
We had a wonderful time in South Africa with Khalanga Safaris! We did a 6 days tour with Panorama route. Sadly, the weather wasn't on our side for the Panorama route but the safari was AMAZING! Our guide Donald was amazing at finding all the good spots for animal sighting, cooking us great meals, and answering all our questions. We did see all the Big Five and a lot more. Also, December is a good time of the year to see babies and we saw a lot!! Elephants, lions, hyenas, impalas, rhinos, etc.! We really enjoyed our trip, would 100% recommend!!
