Reviews
4-Day Safari & Ivory Moon Lodge. Highly efficient, well organized and communicates speedily.
We had a great time, despite the rain showers. We did the arrival tour and the two days in Kruger but skipped the bush walk on Day 4.
The guides were amazing, well organized, and knowledgeable. Plus, they had a great sense of humor.
They provided ponchos with a lining that kept us warm. We saw lots of different types of animals and mostly close by the road. I was most impressed with the heights of the giraffes, especially the tallest that crossed the road right in front of us. They are so elegant.
We also saw a pride of seven lions on the arrival day, and our guide drove our game viewer truck within feet of the lions who just ignored us! We also came close to one male lion on the second Kruger day and followed him as he strolled down the road.
We watched four of the Big Five. The leopard was the one we missed, but I think they're hard to find anyway.
The Ivory Moon Lodge was also great. Again, well organized. The rooms were excellent, but we skipped the plunge pool due to the rain! Chef Forward was a joy. His meals were well planned, well-presented and good to eat. We couldn't believe that we were getting such individual service.
The logistics getting us to the parks were top notch. Kruger Park is very well organized with cafes, restaurants and toilets in plenty supply! We thought that the Airlink service was very good, too. So overall, this was an incredible trip, especially with the ease with which things were run. We just had to be in the right place at the right time.
And lastly, we are very grateful to Wayne Barnes for his support and communication both before and during the trip. He is to be congratulated. We will certainly recommend The Kruger Safari Co and Wayne's service when we talk about the trip with our friends.

Impeccable service!
If you’re looking for assistance in organising your Kruger trip - look no further! I had been enquiring with various companies to have our tour in Kruger organised but none answered immediately and/or fully listened to my requests! Wayne @ The Kruger Safari company came up with a great trip - which not only met our budget but also our wishes! Replies to emails were next to instant and he also checked in on us even when we were there!
The organization of the tour was unflawed we stayed in a beautiful lodge in Timbavati and one night in Graskop. Our only problem was that we didn’t want it to end!

Super responsive, reliable and safe
I have never met any business person being as responsive as the personell at Kruger Safari!! They provided the best advice, made up the perfect itinerary for an unforgettable Safari and Lodge Life experience for me and my significant other (can 10000% recommend Kapama Lodge!) and made sure everything went well shortly before our trip, along the way and afterwards. I felt perfectly comfortable and safe the whole time. Can warmly recommend this advisor!

It was flawless
This safari was the best money we spent in South Africa. We did a two night stay that included four guided tours. Our guide Victor was incredibly knowledgeable and talented. The lodge itself was serene and relaxing. It was a perfect vacation.

We loved our time with Greenfire and would recommend to everyone considering safari.
We were with Greenfire lodge for 3 days and 2 nights. We went on 4 game drives.
The lodge itself was very intimate, beautiful grounds and a lovely pool. Our room was right overlooking the riverbed and it was very private. Very comfortable with every amenity we needed. Carol took time to give us a tour of the room and facilities. She also welcomed us back from every game drive.
The food was delicious and plentiful.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Our game driver Victor was a highlight of our trip. He was extremely knowledgeable about the land, animals and history. He was always determined to ensure we had the best experience, constantly communicating with other drivers to know what animals were out and about on the land. By the end of our short stay, he felt like a friend.
Overall we wouldn’t change a thing about our stay and would recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a personalized and intimate experience.

Amazing, Professional and Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with The Kruger Safari Co. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The team was, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and well looked after at all times.
We were lucky to see incredible wildlife, and the guide took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. You can really tell they care about giving guests the best possible experience.
The whole tour was great value for money and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend The Kruger Safari Co. to anyone looking for a reliable and unforgettable safari experience in South Africa.

Easy, reliable and great
We booked our 3day safari in Kruger from Cape Town with The Kruger Safari Co. And had the best experience. Everything was well arranged for us to just enjoy nature and all the animals we saw.
It was very handy that they got us the return flights from and to Cape Town and had someone waiting for us at the airport that took us to the lodge, wich was also great. Overall, an amazing and very recommendable experience for everyone.

Great, took care of us and great value
A great tour! I paid for a tour to pick me up from Joberg airport at 7am and take me to a nearby transfer at 12 (with an AC car with charging ports and one break for toilet and food), and in the lodge at 1220. The lodge was budget friendly but still there was a lot to do - free breakfast and dinners, with paid lunches and drinks. A pool and loungers, a badminton net, chess, jungle gym. Everyone was so friendly as well. They offered a sunset game drive 3 30 to 6pm so got something done straight away with a Jeep and a nice tour guide and met nice people, then had dinner with them. Then the next day there was a sunrise/full day game drive from 5 30am to 3pm. This includes a packed breakfast, and a place where we bought our lunch at 1pm, but great value and quality. Then another dinner at night after the pool and an optional additional sunrise tour at a price (530am to 11am) then checking out at 11-12. The bus picked me up there and took me directly to Joburg without the transfer. So overall a great stay! I stayed in a tent with a bathroom/air conditioning and it was a really cool experience. It was all zipped up so safe from insects though I did have a mosquito in my room which was hard to get rid of. Wayne also the owner of the tour presumably, was very responsive (instant replies to emails) and very helpful. I would overall recommend this place/tour though I'm unsure how much it would have cost without the 5 hour transfer etc. 5 stars!

Great Experience
Had a great safari trip with The Kruger Safari Co.
Pick up from the airport was smooth & the drive was also good with enough breaks (so no worries about the 5h trip)
Accommodation was alright.
Safari’s itself were amazing. I had 2 Full day safari & 1 Sunset Safari. During one safari i was able to see All Big 5 in one day.
Guides were knowledgeable without talking too much 😃. But whenever you had a question they were always helpful.
