Fantastic Safari in Kruger
5/5

This 3-day safari to Kruger could not have been better. Tour operator Norman Mlambo was in constant contact with me, checking in and making sure everything was alright. All the logistics were meticulously planned and implemented, including pick-ups, meals, and safari game drives. Norman is an exceptional tour organizer. My driver and guide, Loyd Makhubele, was with me every step of the way. He picked me up at my hotel in Johannesburg, drove me to Kruger via the spectacular Panorama Route, picked me up and drove me to all my game drives in Kruger (including one at 4 a.m. for a pre-sunrise drive!) and got me to the Mpumalanga Airport to catch my flight to Victoria Falls. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and I was lucky to have him as my guide. I was in Africa for over 3 weeks, and this tour was only 3 days, but it gave me some of the most memorable moments of my whole trip. Thank you to Norman and Loyd!

They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala
5/5

The trip definitely exceeded our expectations. We took the 4-day Kruger + Panorama tour.

Let's start from the beginning: we handled all the formalities with Norman, who was always very quick to respond to all our questions. We wanted to maximize our time in the park. We were glad that extending our trip by one day wasn't a problem at all. All costs were clearly explained, as were the payment methods.

Khongi, who was an incredible companion for the trip from Johannesburg to Kruger and back, picked us up from the airport hotel. He was also our guide on the Panorama tour. We felt like we'd known him forever; he was incredibly interesting, but he also showed us and explained many things. We felt taken care of the entire time because we had constant contact, and even after a full day of safari, he called to make sure everything was okay and to confirm the next day's plans.

The hotel itself also exceeded our expectations. The rooms looked even better than in the photos, and the breakfast buffet or takeaway box on our departure morning was truly filling and varied. The dinner buffet offered a huge selection of delicious dishes.
The safari trips were also well-organized, and even though we were with other people, it was relaxed and everyone could see what they wanted.

In short, we couldn't have chosen a better place. Khongi, his care, and the overall experience made us not want to go back home. I'm always wary of using travel agents and prefer to handle everything myself, but they exceeded all our expectations at all. They don't just sell trips; they sell memories and experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Nhlalala Travel.

5/5

This whole experience was a once in a lifetime, it was well organised, punctual and lots of fun! The tours at the park were also fun, full of knowledge and perfectly timed. What a beautiful part of the world we got to experience in such a great way!

Accommodating and easy to organise
5/5

Norman was a fantastic guide, organising all the activities and was accommodating to our personalised itinerary. Accommodation was great and he helped organise our fantastic game drives. His knowledge of the local history was amazing. Will definitely travel with Nhalala again!
