Once in a life time, perfect!
5/5

The team were amazing and Norman was very responsive over bookings. Each driver we interacted with was brilliant and the guides were amazing. We were lucky enough to have a full day safari to our selves and it was so special. I can’t wait to visit Kruger again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nhalalala travels. Kruger gate hotel was again so special and I could not fault the service.

Remarkable service and flexibility
5/5

Such a memorable trip of a lifetime!
Most of the tours have standard shuttle service which we couldn’t make it because of our flight schedule. Glad that we’ve found Nhalalala Travel who offers great flexibility and customises based on our time schedule!
We knew we picked the right one from the friendly and polite greet. We were blessed with the perfect weather, the greatest animals and people we met during the tour.
We cannot wait to come back and travel with them again!

10/10 would recommend
5/5

If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend booking your Kruger trip with Nhlalala Travel enough!

The entire team went above and beyond to make my trip truly special. I had a very tight schedule, but they handled everything perfectly and made sure the whole experience ran smoothly from start to finish.

I felt well taken care of at all times, from the pick-up at Johannesburg airport to the drop-off again. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, which made me feel completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment.

Thank you to the whole Nhlalala team for such an incredible Kruger experience!

Flexible and understanding
5/5

Had some lovely days in Kruger Park with nhalala travel. They were very flexible and can change the trip depending on my wishes. Additionally was my guide Khongi lovely!

The trip as itself was spectacular and can not point out how much worth it is to put som little extra money to go to the hotel Kruger Park Gate hotell. One of the best hotel I have ever visit!

Great people that can accommodate your experience!
5/5

Norman and Khongi organised a great trip for us. Credit has to go to Knowledge, who was great getting us to Kruger via the Panorama route. Then on the safari, Clayton was great both for the full day and half day we chose. I’d recommend Kruger Gate Hotel as well. Well worth the money, and a truly special experience!

Perfect from start to finish
5/5

We have just finished our once in a lifetime 4 day African Safari trip to the magnificent Kruger National Park. It’s a huge decision when spending the amount of money on such a trip that you get the right travel company to deal with. We finally decided on Nhlalala after our questions were answered and we felt comfortable that they were the right fit for us and we were so glad we made this decision. We dealt with Norman who put our minds at ease, paid our deposit and waited patiently for our trip.
We were paired with a fabulous driver/guide Khongi, what a genuinely lovely man who we connected with immediately. He really cares and ensures you have a fabulous time and go home with amazing memories.
We spent 3 nights at the Kruger Gate Hotel in a luxury room and couldn’t fault this place from the minute we arrived till we left, amazing food, lovely staff, beautiful clean rooms, comfortable beds and great showers after long days on Safari.
Khongi ensured our timings were perfect with safaris booked which were amazing (we seen the big 5 after our second drive) and all went smoothly. He also took us on a day trip of the Panorama Route which was filled with stunning scenery and great stops. I have a knee injury and he was very caring and ensured our route was accessible for me.
I also left my reading glasses in the back of Khongi’s car after our trip and he is so kind to have them posted to me back to my home address in Australia, once again showing kindness and care for his customers.

Norman also came and personally introduced himself to us at our farewell from the hotel which was lovely.

We also had Khongi take us on a full day tour in Johannesburg the day prior to our tour which was also fabulous! We learnt and seen so many places of interest in and around the city.

We now have wonderful lifelong memories of our fabulous African Safari and are so thankful we chose the right company to make our dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Konghi, Norman and Nhlalala travel and we highly recommend this company to others looking for a fabulous service and memories.

An unforgettable safari experience
5/5

We joined this safari from Japan, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience!

Even though we booked the tour at the last minute, Norman was very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process, which we really appreciated.

Our driver, Knowledge, was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and he took great care of us throughout the journey. During the drive from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park, he told us so many interesting things about the local towns, plants, and South African food, which made the long journey enjoyable as well.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see a leopard, but we were lucky enough to see all of the other Big Five animals! We were especially excited to see elephants and buffalo up close — it was such an incredible experience.

We had an amazing time and made memories that we will never forget. Thank you so much to Norman, Knowledge, and the whole team for making our trip so special!

Fantastic experience, incredible service
5/5

Our trip with Nhlalala Travel was excellent. They offered flexibility in where and when they collected us, accommodating flight times that other firms wouldn't and even rescheduling some of our activities when our flight was delayed. They were very communicative in the lead up to our trip and Khongi, our guide, was amazing throughout, ensuring that we were always having fun and providing real context to our trip through our discussions. The panoramic tour was also a brilliant addition to the safari and made for a unique trip. 5 star experience, great value for money, highly recommended.
