Amazing Tour
5/5

We did an amazing eleven hours tour through Kruger. Dave is a really expert and knowledgeable guide. We saw a lot of animals and took secret and hidden routes. Very remarkable and highly recommended.

One of the best experiences of our lives!!!
5/5

What can I say about this tour of Kruger? It was literally perfect, Dave is such an amazing guide, from the moment we were picked up at 4:30am until the trip ended, we were made to feel so welcome.

Dave’s instinct after doing this for 28 years meant we seen all the big 5 in one day where some other tour companies hadn’t seen them all in two weeks! He literally does think like an animal. We had such unreal experiences such as seeing a Rhino at dawn and had a leopard walking next to our van. It was so special. Dave have great tips and even went out of his way to make sure we also seen the Crocodiles.

We stopped off twice in the day for coffee and lunch, Dave ensured we stopped at the best places and had a lovely steak for dinner.

On the way home, Dave took us on the scenic route through a mountain range by the park which had spectacular scenery.

All in all a fantastic day and we can’t thank you enough for one of the best experiences of our lives. We hope to be back one day for your 8 day trip to Kruger and Mozambique.

Dream Come True!
5/5

What can I say? Dave and his staff took great care of us! We saw the "Big Five" plus many many more animals, which was wonderful--but just as importantly for me, I learned so much about the animals, their characteristics and habitats, Kruger Park, the environment, etc. He and his staff "know their stuff" and readily shared their knowledge with us keeping the entire safari interesting. They were helpful in every way, assuring us of the best photo shots, feeding us well (I must say, Dave is a good cook!) and booking us in comfortable accommodations in the park. I'm 72 years old--and am so happy and appreciative I had this opportunity to see God's wonder and beauty. If you have a chance to visit Kruger Park--Kruger Flexi Tour can make your dreams come true just as they did mine!

More than we ever expected!
5/5

Kruger Flexi Tours was wonderful. We had such a good time and Dave was a fantastic tour guide and delivered more than we every expected. He anticipated our every need. We went on the Lion King Tour and met great people, saw lots of animals (though there is no guarantee that one will spy even one animal while on safari), ate terrific food, experienced and understood some of the local customs, and in general, had the time of our lives. We highly recommend Dave, his backpacker's inn, and especially the Kruger Flexi safari Tours.

Best Safari in South Africa!
5/5

I have been on safari with Crazy Dave twice with groups of about 20+. Both drivers we had were excellent and made the experience so much fun. They were knowledgeable about both the animals and the environment. We saw every thing we were hoping to (outside of a leopard, but what can you do?!) and the drivers were very intentional about locating the ones they could! The safari trucks were comfortable and had blankets to keep us warm if it got cold! They were patient with us while still being great about keeping us on schedule during meal times, bathroom breaks, etc.
I would 100 percent recommend using Kruger Flexi Tours for your safari. I have sent several people Dave's way and they all rave about him. By far the best safari experience I have had! I can confidently say you won't regret booking your safari through them!

Fantastic Safari Tour
5/5

We highly recommend Flexi Tour and Old Vic Traveller Inn. We had a great safari during two days and we visited the Blyde Canyon also with them. The organization, accommodation and meals were just fantastic, Dave is a great bbq chef!

Impressive Safari
5/5

This was an excellent safari in all respects. I particularly enjoyed Dave’s friendly and outgoing personality, and appreciated his impressive detailed knowledge of the wildlife. He is also skilled at spotting wildlife and in seeking out the best viewing spots. The group stayed in comfortable permanent tents in Kruger National Park, toured in an almost new safari vehicle, and savoured the quality meals included in the package. The BBQ that Dave prepared while we were out on the night safari with a park ranger was a memorable, first class meal. The stops the last day in the Blyde River Canyon area were an unexpectedly scenic highlight. This a fast-paced tour with lots packed into each day, so be prepared for long days on the road. After reading the reviews of others here, I didn’t bother to check out the competition, as I knew this was the tour for me, and it certainly met my high expectations.

Exceeded all expectations!
5/5

My two cousins and I were traveling in South Africa for 2 weeks. We booked a two day safari in the Kruger park with Kruger Flexi tours and could not have had a better experience! It really exceeded all of our expectations and was one of the very highlights of our trip. Our guide Dave was so nice and accommodating and he knew exactly where to go to see as much wild animals as possible. We saw the big five both days of the safari! One of the best experiences of the safari was to encounter two lions only 2 m from the car, wow! Our accommodation in the park was also really nice. The three of us shared a bungalow with our own bathroom, very nice and clean. In the evening we went for a night drive with a guide from the park and when we got back Dave had prepared a lovely dinner for us. We felt very well taken care of and had such a wonderful time! We would definitely recommend Kruger Flexi tours. Thank you so much Dave! :)

We stayed at Old Vic, the funky backpackers, and had the best safari. Fantastic!
5/5

We sent an inquiry to Kruger Flexi Tours about staying at the backpackers and a safari. Dave got back in touch right away with suggestions for a tour. A few quick (and quite informative) emails later we booked the trip. Upon arrival at Old Vic, we were impressed with how nice it looks in real life. Quite relaxed, great deck, patio, and gorgeous birds. A very friendly family - made us feel right at home. The safari exceeded expectations. Marc was focused on our safety and definitely wanted us to enjoy the trip. It worked! We were more than lucky in seeing a good amount of animals. The food, scenery, people, sense of humor, ensuring all were included, no worries about running off the road as you stare at a huge elephant, and good stories were fantastic. We asked every stupid question. Dave & Marc covered them all. Yes 100 percent!
