Perfect Safari experience with private transfers
5/5

Norman and his team provided a great experience. Our luggage were lost and he helped to accommodate and reschedule for the delay in a very responsive and professional way. We had a private transfer both ways to Kruger and the driver was fun, knowledgeable and expert so it was very enjoyable. Everything was well organized and taken care of so we could only enjoy our vacation. We also managed to see all the big 5. Highly recommended, it was a great experience!!

Great, personal experience
5/5

The tour was great and our tour guide Norman was very friendly and reliable. He provided a lot of interesting information about the country and kept us safe throughout the tour. The panorama route was another highlight that we wouldn't have want to miss.
Only thing that could be improved was the information before the trip (how and when the second part of the payment is going to happen, which hotel will we stay at, time of pickup etc.): for our taste this was all a bit late. Regarding the trip it was mostly as described, however, we were a bit surprised that the sunset drive was in a 20 people bus rather than a small vehicle. Besides this one activity all was as advertised and the hotel was clean and well equipped. The restaurant was ok although not great.
Overall we did enjoy our trip very much and can recommend this company. Norman is a great tour guide and we are sure you will have a good time with him.

Great and personal service!
5/5

I had an absolutely great service and experience with Nhlalala Travel. I had quite a lot of questions ahead of the booking and the trip and it was all attended to swiftly and in a great and helpful tone from Norman Muchacheni. I needed to adjust the timings a bit to reach my flight on the last day and that was not an issue at all and I made it all on time. I was picked up in Johannesburg by a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful driver, also called Norman, who was great company and conversation partner on the whole trip - he drove safely, and knew his way and how to handle/beat the traffic. A true pleasure - Thank you!

Norman is simply an exceptional person. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable stay at Kruger National Park. The hotel was superb, the food was excellent and we had the chance to see the big five and more!

Norman you are an exceptional person!
5/5

What an experience from such a warm gentleman. We arrived late due to passport control in Johannesburg. Norman waited for us to collect all our baggage and headed to us.

We then headed to Soweto to experience the history of the south western townships. We felt safe and secure with Norman every step of the way. We visited kruger national park twice once on a sunset game drive and the second time for a jam packed day beginning at 6am.
The final leg of the tour consisted of a visit to panorama, visiting gods window, beryln falls and three rosenvals grand canyon.

We stayed at the holiday inn and the Sabi sun resort. We were extremely pleased with the choices Norman found for us especially the Sabie.

Norman was very knowledgeable which added to the experience. Despite a packed 4day schedule, he kept us on track without feeling rushed. We joined a lovely woman on the Safari who assisted our game drive called Happiness, we would like to say a huge thank you to her also. What a day we had with you.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Norman and will do so to all my friends and family. You will not be disappointed.

4 Day Safari and Panorama Experience with Norman and Brilliant!
5/5

Norman and his colleague Brilliant were exceptional from start to finish. We were met at Johannesburg airport and driven up to our 4 star hotel in Kruger. After check in we went on our first evening game drive. All organised really well and we saw so many animals in the first few hours, including 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos but the guide said they hadn’t seen any for nearly a month). The next morning was another game drive followed by a late afternoon relaxing at the hotel. The next day we changed our plans to do the panorama route (highly recommended) and we had another amazing day. On the last day we asked Norman if he could recommend anything for our visit and he obliged with a stop off in Pretoria on our way back to Johannesburg. It was really interesting to see a completely different side to our trip and Norman was a wealth of local knowledge and history of the area. I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel. Norman and Brilliant’s professionalism, flexibility, kindness and expertise made our trip one to remember and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. For the experience we had, the price was an absolute bargain for 4 days of fun.
Nhlalala Travel are a smaller company, but if you want a tailored personal experience from a trustworthy guide, then I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Norman and Brilliant. Well done in the rugby as well!
