Kruger and Sabi safari
5/5

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

Hi there Cathal,

Thank you for traveling with us to the Sabi Sands and your review.
I have spoken to the Lodge, and we have sorted out the communication error that you experienced with the diet requirements and have implemented more systems to make sure that this does not happen again.

We are glad that you had a great time on safari and hope to see you soon.

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

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.

Understood the assignment
5/5

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

This trip was a dream come true. From the game drives, to the accommodations, to the cuisine. Everything was seamless. I’ll be praying for the day I can return.

Hi Mason,

Was a pleasure hosting your family at the Shalati train on the bridge.. You are right the accommodation is amazing, meals out of this world (still need details from you on the amazing tasting menu they offered you on new years eve).... Safari drives the best in the national park in my view....

Cant wait to have you all back on safari with us soon.

Wonderful experience!
5/5

Wayne from Kruger Safari Co. was a very reliable, professional and helpful partner in preparing and organizing for a three day Kruger park safari. We were based in Pretorius Camp and did great game drives and game walks seeing many beautiful animals. Accommodation was organized in luxury tents and the food which has been prepared by Hilda was gorgeous. Wayne also provided us with a lot of helpful information’s regarding travel, safety and health issues. I strongly recommend to organize your safari with Wayne and we’re looking forward already to our next trip to Kruger.

Safari of a lifetime
5/5

I took my daughters on a 4 day classic camping safari to the Kruger Park.
We booked with Wayne at The Kruger safari Co. They booked the transport, game drives, meals and tented accommodation. Having 2 teenage ladies with me I thought the camping would be below standard, but the camp was amazing. Mylord our guide was super cool and even braaied for us in the evening.
Proud to be a South African with the service we got.

Wayne and his team to the rescue
5/5

We are camping at Punda Maria and were cought in a cloud burst. Our caravan tent started to flood. I grabbed my phone and went onto google ( as we all do) and whatsapp the first number that I saw.
Even though we did not book through Kruger Safari, they helped me within a second and got me sorted. I will definitely recommend Wayne and his team THANK you for keeping us safe on your watch
