They made our dream come true
5/5

Thamia and Shoes,

Thank you so much for making our safari a dream come true.

We loved every moment of the experience, from the wildlife sightings to the accommodations. We especially appreciated the knowledge Shoes shared with us about the nature in your beautiful country. We felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
We could not spot all the animals on our own, Shoes was amazing in taking us to the right places where we could see leopards, lions, elephants, wild dogs....so many different animals that we could not even imagine!!

Our kids loved exploring and getting to know about the animals, plants and culture with Shoes. Our son keeps saying he will be back and work with Shoes in the future!!!

Thamia helped us organise the safari based on what was important for us, we chose staying inside the National Park to be able to leave in the early morning and already spot all sort of animals.

Our adventure far exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish these memories forever. Thank you again for everything.

Knowledgeable, Flexible, Friendly and Professional
5/5

Everything about Khalanga was top drawer. From the initial enquiry trough to dropping us off at the departure airport, Thamia in the office and Shoes our guide were excellent.
Accommodation was arranged at the Khaya Ndlovu reserve in Hoedspruit in a luxury tent overlooking the watering hole where we had regular visits of zebra, water buck, monkeys and mongeese. We had a combination of safaris at the reserve and guided trips with company owner and all round top guy Shoes who spotted and showed us animals and birds we would never have seen on our own. We visited Kruger NP and did the Panorama route into the Drakensberg with Shoes.
All round great safari trip and I fully recommend Khalanga who will take care of all your needs.

Professional and Customizable
5/5

We had the best experience traveling with Khalunga Safaris. All processes were simple, customizable, and traceable. With our professional guide, “Shoes,” we thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing, shopping, and spotting the Big 5. We especially loved how he put safety first for his visitors.

Had the most amazing 4-day safari!! Couldn’t have asked for a better guide— Doc was super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! Highly recommend booking and asking for Doc, this was one of my favorite travel experiences to date! Also big thanks to Johanna for helping with the very last-minute booking and to Shoes for helping with coordination! We saw all the animals we hoped to and more, such an awesome experience overall.

Passionate and caring!
5/5

We contacted Khalanga Safaris to see if they could take our team to the Kruger Park, some of whom had never been. From the get go Thamia at Khalanga was fantastic. On the day Shoes and Doc, our two guides collected us from the accommodation and took the team on an unforgettable experience, sharing their knowledge and immense passion. Thank you so much for making it such a fantastic trip. Everyone loved it. Thank you

Flexible, experienced and professional safari company
5/5

Thamia (backoffice) was a huge help in planning our week in Kruger National Park. She brainstormed with us, made suggestions and handled all logistics perfectly. Our tour guide was Shoes (owner), a professional with an enormous dedication for animals and nature ; he gave us a fantastic week of safari with the right attention, expertise, patience and service. If you're looking for a tailor-made trip in Kruger National Park, Khalanga Safaris is the company that will definitely give you the time of your life, a trip you'll never forget.

Incredible Experience
5/5

Our team recently had the pleasure of working with Khalanga Safari to organize a corporate event for 20 people, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.

A special thank-you goes to Johanna Kuhn, whose professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made all the difference.

The venue itself was stunning, offering a perfect blend of adventure and comfort, and the activities were thoughtfully planned to encourage teamwork and create lasting memories for our group.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Khalanga Safari and Johanna truly delivered a five-star service, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a corporate event, team-building experience, or private gathering.

A great safari with Shoes
5/5

Everything was great! Shoes is a very friendly man with a lot of experience. He knew a lot about the wildlife and shared it with us. We also laughed a lot and had a great day. I would highly recommend him and the other crew.

Fantastic!!
5/5

Better than expected! Thamia was really helpful, explained everything through e-mail before purchasing, and Shoes was an awesome guide, explained so much about the local culture and animal behavior! Really well organized and everything explained beforehand, always asking what we prefer. Vehicle was really clean and top quality, really confortable! Passing through the days we could notice that he knew everybody and would be friendly with anyone who talk to him. With the info that he had we could find some awesome animals and have a great experience! Definetly recommend! Also, there are some other services that the lodges provide, just ask him or thamia on email such as night/morning drive, bush walk, etc.
