Great experience booking with Kruger Safari Co.
Had a great experience booking with Kruger Safari Co. Wayne was responsive with messages, providing quotes and putting my concerns at ease. Communication was always timely and informative and I felt very comfortable booking my first safari experience with this company.

Fantastic communication throughout, perfect planning, always helped with organizing the trip.
Wayne from The Kruger Safari took care of our booking for one of the greatest Safari experiences out there. We didn’t know where to start so the tour operator offered an overview of different packages.
We went to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, and this was the perfect choice. Our booked Lodge, the Umkumbe Bush Lodge was just fantastic, everyone took care of us so well, the game drives were just breathtaking and we‘ve seen so many different animals. If you can afford, book a trip through these guys for a trip to the Sabi Sands.

Helpful, responsive, and timely...and our safari turned out great!
I was able to find the 'just right' fit for my wife and I, both time- and cost-wise. We received excellent communications throughout from exploring options, booking and paying, and being supported even in the midst of the drive out from Johannesburg to assure us everything was on-track. We also received a message midway into our experience to ask how it was going.
Bonus included solid recommendations for enroute hotels and helping us to book an excellent full-day tour of Johannesburg after the safari.
I was uncertain, booking 'blind', but Wayne and his crew took great care of us all the way through our experience. Thanks!

Incredibly helpful in choosing a lodge
Wayne was so helpful in helping me sift through the different tour and lodging options. We even hopped on a Zoom call, which made this process much more personable and efficient! My and my 3 friends went to the Kapama Southern Lodge on a 4 day safari and it was perfect! The only issue we had was there was some sort of miscommunication between our shuttle driver and the Kapama staff so there was nobody there to pick us up from the shuttle drop off location when we arrived. And on our return trip the shuttle was half an hour earlier than expected and we felt in a rush on our way out.

The most wonderful & helpful tour company that exceeded our special request needs and expectations
The Kruger Safari Co is truly one of the best tour companies I have encountered. My family required special assistance with partial wheelchair accessibility needs for our visit to Kruger and Wayne was not only extremely responsive and professional, but went above and beyond in ensuring me and my family would be comfortable and well taken cared of. From zoom sessions to personal videos of lodge grounds to determine wheelchair accessibility would be sufficient, I could not be more happy with Wayne and Kruger Safari Co. I will be recommending them to all friends and family for future trips!

Simple to work with and responsive
I reached out to Kruger Safari Co. a couple week ahead of wanting to go on a trip. They were very responsive and we set up a zoom call to review my options. Because I was going to safari as a solo traveler, it can be difficult to find lodges (since many don’t want to take a single person). They contacted lodges and found one that fit all of my criteria and was within the price range that I provided. Would work with them again!

When our dream came true!
We were thinking about hiding in the bush and stay there!
Such an incredible experience!
We met very nice people especially at Marc's tree house lodge.
We recommend undoubtedly the tour!
We'd love to come back!
So hopefully see you soon!

Kruger and Sabi safari
Our family of four had a wonderful safari experience. The company were excellent and supportive throughout. All transfers went smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. It was stress free.
One thing we should have done on our side was to ensure we had more planning involved for travelling with a vegetarian. The lodge wasn’t very well prepared for this so it’s worth mentioning early in the process
Thanks a million for everything

Once in a lifetime experience
We booked with the Umkumbe Bush Lodge in Sabi Sands and to say it was incredible is an understatement. We saw SO many amazing animals right at arms length most of the time, the place is truly wild. The staff at Umkumbe were excellent and very professional, very informative, and they tried day in and day out to ensure that their guests had an experience if a lifetime! Some exceptional mentions were Pieter, Chloe, Drizzle, and Leo, they were great! Can't wait to go back again.

Posted on Feb 20, 2023Hi Chris,
Thank you for your review.
The Umkumbe Bush lodge is certainly an amazing location in the Sabi Sands, from the staff, meals, safari drives, they do their best to offer the best services to make it a safari of a life time.
Hope to see you back on safari with us in the near future.

Understood the assignment
Wayne Barnes was a great help. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and gave us lots of suggestions that were within our budget and fit the criteria. We found THE lodge and the experience there was fantastic too. Wayne communicated all specifications, dietary requirements, etc to the lodge and for the transfers. All went well and hopefully we will be back to South Africa soon
