The Kruger Safari Co was friendly and helpful, and very quick to accommodate all of our requests.
The Kruger Safari Co were quick and clear in their communications. Their service was fantastic, going the extra mile to accommodate our requests.
Since we chose a "budget" tour the accommodation was basic as expected. The game drives and sightings more than made up for any lack of comfort in the accommodation.

Great Communications - Always in the know
We loved our safari for our family of five, including teenage and grown boys. Don’t miss the Greenfire Lodge - the setting and accommodations are amazing with views right into the nature setting. Wayne at Kruger Safari is quick to respond and pleasant.

Affordable and easy to access tour
Overall this tour was really lovely. Transport from Johannesburg was convenient.
I would advise to read the type of lodging carefully. I didn’t know I was getting a tent accommodation because I didn’t read everything throughly. The tent was nice, had its own restroom and was fine for the short trip I was on.
There were some hiccups with getting transport back to Johannesburg. Communication was not clear with the drivers, but was quickly sorted when I reached out to the contact information. They offered to buy my lunch and kept me in the loop with updates.
The safari itself was great. My guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Dedicated to providing you with a fantastic safari experience and camp stay!
This company did a great job keeping us warm, safe, fed, and of course, showing us the beautiful wildlife in Krugar and around a local game reserve. Truly a once in a life time experience! I loved the accommodations; glamping at its finest. The food was decent and they were kind and thorough enough to make accommodations for gluten free meal needs.

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.

Posted on Apr 29, 2023Good Day Ashley,
Thank you for traveling with us to the Kapama Southern Camp.
It is one of the lodges in the Greater Kruger National Park.
Was only a pleasure chatting on zoom with you and glad that we offered you the best safari experience.
We have spoken to our driver who transported you to the Hoedspruit Airport, he was supposed to take you directly to the Lodge.
Our driver then contacted the Lodges guide as the Lodges guide was at the Airport at the same time as you arrived there.
So our driver handed you onto the Lodges guide to save you a little extra time and then the lodges guide did not contact the lodge to inform them that you met up and were on the lodges vehicle and not getting dropped off by our driver.
Our drivers are generally early for the collection times, so that our guests are aware that the driver there at the lodge and not running late (rather early than late), but he should not have put pressure on you to depart the 30 min earlier than scheduled.
We are sorry that you felt rushed, he was just at the Lodge letting you know that he is there to collect you.
At least all was sorted out and you had a great time on safari.

My operator was helpful and determined to find what was right for me.
I had a memorable and most enjoyable 4 night stay at Tremasana Camp this past week. Although the camp was a little bit “run down” the setting and staff more than made up for it. They were kind, helpful and made every effort to be accommodating. The guides were fun, knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to see a lot of very good game.
The food was wholesome and plentiful, so all in all, I would recommend it highly.

Posted on Feb 20, 2023Hi Karen,
Thank you for your review, we do read all of them and note all suggestions form our valued travelers.
We have forwarded your review onto the owner of the lodge regarding the maintenance that you noted and happy to say that they looking on refurbishing the lodge as soon as they have covered the costs caused by low travelling numbers due to COVID 19 and that work is on its way to get the lodge back to its original amazing state.
As long as you had a great time in nature and loved spending times with the guides and that they showed you a lot of animals...
Thank you for recommending us and looking forward to having you back on safari when you return to South Africa.

Organized and fun!
From pick up to drop off and ALL the fun safaris, our package was most excellent! Friendly knowledgeable guides, wonderful food and great set up.
Areas of improvement. WATER needs to be free and readily available. Incorporate it into the price but make it available. Currently sold at the bar by the bottle.
Screens should be added to windows as 'load sharing' ie. electricity shut offs happen both during the day and knight and if you open your windows and doors you get all the local bugs and monkeys. FYI/ rolling blackouts happen ALL ACROSS South Africa and are NOT unique or controlled by The Kruger SaFari Co. This is a statewide issue.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It's a fantastic experience for all!

Posted on Feb 20, 2023Hi there Lysa,
Thank you for your review. It is appreciated.
We are looking into providing bottled water per person on our safari drives and is something that we want to get arranged as soon as possible with our providers.
Yes the Loadshedding / power outages is certainly not something we as a country are proud of and with the unpredictability on it, it is rather tough for the lodges to make choices on what add ones to the lodge, need to be made to make sure that all guests are comfortable.
A large number of the lodges are looking on moving towards solar power to help with air-cons (Keeping the bugs away) and the monkeys... well i guess we are in their "home" so need to respect that we are in their homestead.
We are glad that we offered you a great safari and hoping that in the coming months we can address the items you have mentioned and offer you an even better safari next time.
