We had a lovely trip. We were picked up on time in a lovely spacious vehicle. Driven safely to our destination and booked into a Greta place in Kruger.

Thank you so much for the great service! We will definitely be booking again.

Amazing
5/5

Kruger Safari has helped us tremendously. Starting with the booking process of our Safari where they were very detailed and helpful.

When we arrived at the airport in Johannesburg and discovered that one of our suitcases was left behind they helped us with taking care of getting the suitcase to our lodge in the middle of the bush.

I can say nothing bad about Kruger Safari and the service they have provided!

Definitely worth it!
5/5

From the sunrise and sunset drives, to the full day drives they are all amazing! I was able to see the Big 5 and more just on the reserve and when we went to the full day Kruger drive it was unbelievable! We even got to see a couple Leopards and Cheetah which everyone said will be hard to see. Food was great as well!

Beautiful & Wild Safari Experience!
5/5

My fiancé and I had an amazing 4-day, 3-night safari through the Kruger Safari Co. We stayed all nights at the Tremisana lodge, and I was happy with this choice. It afforded us three safari days in the game reserve and one into Kruger National Park. The only thing I wish I did was book the 5-day trip! I wasn't ready to leave and was hoping to find that elusive leopard! The food was delicious and my partner and I were always looking forward to meals. Be aware, the bar tab is added up at the end of your stay and is cash only. If you're traveling in July (Winter) be sure to bring some warm clothes and a wind-breaker. The long drive to Kruger gets chilly!

5/5

My wife and I along 2 of our friends throughly enjoyed this experience. From being picked up at from our Hotel in Johannesburg to our return. We stayed at the Hoyo Hoyo safari lodge and this is first class The staff very friendly and jovial. The food and service was excellent. Our safari Guide Jana was very informative and was great at finding animals. Take some warm clothes for the morning Safaris but they also provided warm Ponchos and hot water bottles. Thanks Wayne and all the others for giving us something to remember

Wayne is the man!
5/5

We booked a safari through the Kruger Safari Co for our first ever safari. It's been a bucketlist adventure of ours for years and we were stoked to finally make it happen! Wayne was amazing to help, and gave us lots of other recommendations to do while we were in South Africa. He found us a safari and lodging that fit our budget, and properly set our expectations for our experience. We can't wait to do another Safari and would definitely go through Kruger Safari Co to make it happen!

Wayne was amazing to book through. He prepared us well for the Safari and set correct expectations for the trip. He even got on the phone with us and helped us plan the rest of our month long trip to South Africa. Amazing service and I would book through Kruger Safari Co again! We had the trip of a lifetime!

Magical safari experience
5/5

We had the best safari experience! Everything exceeded our expectations. Pre-arrival, our initial questions before booking were answered very quickly and thoroughly; the booking experience was seamless, and we relieved helpful communication through arrival.
The safari experience and lodge could not have been better! My 11- and 12- year old boys were blown away by the lodge, and couldn’t believe we had elephants next to our room within 5 minutes of arriving. The twice daily safari drives were gorgeous and educational. The staff at Umkumbe really took care of us. The food was really good too.
Transfers to and from the lodge were comfortable and on time. Overall a fantastic experience!!
