Great experience
5/5

Our trip was perfect. We did one full day, one sunrise and one sunset safari and that was plenty for us. Our guides were able to help us see everything except for cheetahs but we got the Big 5 no problem. We also did the panorama route which is definitely worth doing if you are thinking about it. Our drivers were all very timely and took appropriate breaks along the way so we could get snacks and drinks. All around a great experience. The Kruger Gate hotel is lovely and has everything you need and we were even able to see some animals at the hotel.

Excellent Best of Kruger 4 Day Safari
5/5

I did the 4 Day Best of Kruger Safari and stayed at the Kruger Gate hotel.
Great experience all around: Norman was my contact person at Nhlalala before arrival and was very responsive and helpful. My actual guide for the 4 days, Konge, was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized: he worked with the hotel and the Kruger safari guides to make sure everything went smoothly.
The 4 day experience allowed me to do several game drives within Kruger National Park and to do the scenic Panorama Route day trip.
Kruger Gate Hotel was excellent.

Flexible, professional, and organized safari tours

2 Days, 1 Night Kruger National Park Safari from Johannesburg with Panorama Route – South Africa

We took a 2-day, 1-night Kruger National Park Safari with the Panorama Route from Johannesburg, South Africa, organized by Nhlalala Travel. Nhlalala Travel was responsive, flexible, and very accommodating with all our requests during the planning of our Kruger safari.

Loyd was our guide and driver for both pickup and drop-off in Johannesburg. He also guided us along the Panorama Route. Loyd did a fantastic job from the moment he picked us up—he was professional, informative, and very friendly throughout the journey.

He arrived promptly at 6:30 AM and drove us to Kruger National Park. During the long drive, he shared insights and stories, which made the ride enjoyable.

At Kruger, we took one afternoon game drive on the day we arrived, and an early morning sunrise game drive the following day in a safari jeep. The game drives were arranged by Nhlalala Travel and led by different safari guides. We were lucky to see four out of the Big Five—rhino, leopard, buffalo, and elephant—as well as many other animals.

We stayed one night at Perry’s Bridge Hollow Boutique Hotel in Hazyview. The hotel was clean, had a great atmosphere for an overnight stay, and the food was excellent.

On the way back to Johannesburg, Loyd took us through the Panorama Route. He was incredibly friendly and made multiple stops based on our requests. He managed the entire journey—pickup, drop-off, and guiding—professionally, punctually, and efficiently, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable trip to and from Johannesburg.

I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel to anyone looking to explore Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route in South Africa.

Above & Beyond in Every Capacity!
5/5

From my very first inquiry, Norman and the team at Nhlalala Travel went above and beyond.

I watched other tourists at Kruger National Park on the phone with their tour operators yelling at them for their bad experiences - you don’t want to make a mistake on your operator & Nhlalala will NOT be a mistake!

They were very communicative, and gave me the utmost confidence in our 2-day safari. They customized our safari to be exactly what we were looking for. The travel accommodations and lodging were exceptional.

I can’t say enough good things about this company - 10/10 recommend and if we come back to Kruger National Park, they will be the only place we consider contacting!

I had a four days Kruger National Park safari tour with Loyd. Norman and Loyd organised an amazing trip for me that will last for a life-time memory. I stayed at the Kruger gate hotel which is excellent. The animal safaris were fantastic! The communication is great. Lyod is very responsible and considerate. He goes beyond and above and make sure everything is taken care of. The team is very reliable. I highly recommend you this company if you want to visit South Africa. They will not disappoint you!!
