Kruger safari tour
Our Safari tour with Kalanga was overall an excellent experience. Like any 4-5 day tour some aspects didn’t go quite as planned but the staff at Kalanga were very quick to respond. They tailored the tour slightly to suit our needs and accommodated us when we made special requests. The tour guide spoke with excellent English and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them.

Very professional team in Kruger
We booked Khalanga safaris for five fulldaysafaris under our 11 days in Kruger National Park. We have our own car but it is more relaxing to enjoy the nature in Khalangas safari car, just me and my wife, with a professional guide. We booked Shoes one day in Letaba camp and three days in Satara camp. He is really great, funny and professional and have worked in the park for thirty years. If you like to see lions go to Satara camp, and book Khalanga. In Skukuza our guides name was Micah, we did go for rhinos in the south, and after three hours we have already seen the big five, what a great day. Our guides Shoes and Micah is also birders, which is a plus for us. We can really recommend Khalanga Safari.

Fantastic experience
We booked a 6 day safari to the Tshukudu Bush Camp and Kruger Park, starting with the panoramic tour. We were accompanied by Donald who was our (very good) private guide and also prepared some delicious meals for us.
A fantastic experience !

An unbelievable experience!
Me and my wife had our honeymoon trip to SA late last year, and one of the first items on the itinerary was a Safari with Khalanga. We first started our tour by doing a day trip within Blyde River canyon area. Ishmael was our guide, and he was awesome. Fantastic energy, passionate about the area, he had a lot of neat historical information, and was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. That night we went to a stunning lodge outside the park (Ukuthula bush lodge) and had an incredible meal. Early next morning we met our new guide, Shoes. It was incredible getting to know him throughout the trip, as his passion and knowledge of conservation, the park, and the animals was amazing. He took unbelievable care of us, cooking meals, constantly helping with luggage, food, and water. Our trip was 4 nights, but we could have easily stayed another two weeks with him. We were absolutely spoiled and saw the big five, and some more rare sightings. It was an experience we will never forget. My wife and I had a hard time saying bye when our trip ended because we felt we made a lifelong friend. We absolutely recommend Khalanga Safaris to anyone and everyone!

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!!

Enjoyable, educational and totally worth it!
Communication with Shoes Mathebula who runs Khalanga Safari was rapid and simple. Transportation was reliable and the tour gave us a good overview of the beauty and variety of activities at the Kruger National Park and surrounds in 5 short days. Wildlife galore , delicious home cooked local food and great company provided by Shoes made the trip one of our best experiences ever . Also appreciated that there was flexibility in the daily arrangements according to our preferences. Highly recommend this safari.

Incredible trip - Kalanaga exceeded expectations!
We are two families with 5 college age children and this was our first safari experience. We spent a lot of time researching all dimensions of the different options - accommodations, tour operators, vehicles options, and routes/destinations. We concluded that the tour operator and their guides were the most important decision criteria because everything else is essentially a commodity. We chose Kalanga because it was clear across their excellent reviews that their owner and lead guide ‘Shoes’ was clearly a standout in terms of knowledge, personality and experience.
Sure enough, Kalanga exceeded our expectations. Given Shoes and his team and their families have lived and guided in the park for generations, their knowledge was incredible and they constantly provided tons of insight that enriched our experience. The meals they prepared were excellent and all logistics and communication were top notch. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a portion of our party who had a last minute itinerary change. Shoes also arranged a great one day tour of Johannesburg before the start of our safari. If you want a professional, turn-key experience, within incredibly knowledgeable and authentic local guides, who will help design a phenomenal experience, I would highly recommend Kalanga. When we go back, our first call will be to Shoes!
