The Kruger Safari Co arranged an amazing experience for us, and was extremely responsive from A to Z
Wayne from Kruger Safari Co was amazingly quick and thorough to respond, even with the time difference while we were still in Canada, we never waited longer than a day. Often just a minutes or hours. They offered a zoom call as well to explain things to us, which was so reassuring because there are tons of options and it's hard to know what's what. He answered all of our questions and concerns and arranged an amazing stay! We chose the classic camping safari. For camping, it's quite a luxury experience. We even had our beds made while we were out on safari. The campsites in Kruger have everything that you need. Breakfast and dinner were provided each day and were ample. The person responsible for our meals and stay went to the trouble of getting fish and seafood for our dinners since my colleague doesn't eat meat. I thought that was really exceptional. The safari guide was incredible. So knowledgeable and in tune with the bush! He spotted rhino waking in the distance... I want to say kilometres away! They were like little specs and he noticed them while driving! He really didn't miss a thing. We saw tons of amazing animals up close. On our last morning drive, our guide was focused on finding us lions since it was the one thing we hadn't managed to see. He found one in our last half hour before we had to head to our shuttle. It was amazing. He was so dedicated and you could really feel how much he cared. He was also very respectful of the animals' space, and attuned to what they were communicating with their ears and tails, etc... backing off if an elephant seemed agitated or nervous for example. I learned so much and had a wonderful and unforgettable time.

Great company for safari.
This was our first time coming to South Africa and we wanted to do a short trip to Kruger National Park. I started looking for budget safaris and got several companies that o requested quotes from. The Kruger safari company was the first to respond and they did so quickly. I communicated with Wayne for several months working out a few kinks that I had made and he was very helpful in answering all my questions. The transfer to Hazeyview was uneventful and long but the ride was fine. The adventure lodge was nice for a budget safari. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were great and we enjoyed them. The safari itself was really fun and we enjoyed the sunset safari and the all day safari. The third day we did the panoramic route and that was very beautiful. All in all I would recommend the Kruger safari company and I will be se them again if I ever come back to South Africa

Safari Co was responsive, listened to our needs and overall provided a wonderful safari experience.
From first contact with Kruger Safari Co they were extremely helpful in putting together options for our suggested date of travel. We booked our safari trip last minute and Wayne was great in terms of finding availability that worked for our budget and travel times. Getting to our accommodation was very smooth - the taxi bus was comfortable considering we had a 5 hour drive. On arrival the hotel Kruger Adventure Lodge had fabulous safari decor - a fire pit in their outdoor area and our rooms were extremely spacious. Most importantly we felt very safe in this accommodation and the reception staff were very helpful in providing guidance on how to access spa facilities and drivers. The safari experience was amazing. You can tell the local guides were close with the hotel staff which made everything feel very personable and seamless. We were brought in the 4x4 vehicles to kruger national park and our guides were brilliant in not only finding animals' sightings but informative on each animal we spotted. The staff were always pleasant and welcoming and nothing was ever an issue for them. We had a lunch packed each day for safari by the team and 3 course dinner each evening. Wayne the tour organiser was very attentive and checked in on us during our tour (which isn't common with tour operators) and was quick to resolve and address any issues we had. We wanted to do a night safari last minute and the hotel had no issue with organizing this for us and that night we had our own personal safari guide which was a highlight of the trip. That same day another tour guide brought us on the Panorama tour which provided fabulous scenery of south africa. I would advise to check the weather in advance of the Panorama tour as cloudy conditions leads to poor visibility for some locations. Overall we had a fabulous safari experience and tour of Hazyview in S.Africa and would highly recommend this tour operator and the hotel for a Safari experience.

Excellent organisation for our trip
We spent 3 days at Greenfire lodge , had amazing food and wonderful accommodation . There was a great wine selection and we were very well looked after . The safari was excellent with 4 game drives and we saw lots of lions up close as well as giraffes, zebras, elephants, birds, crocodiles , hippos, black and white rhinos . Thoroughly recommended and hope to go back soon .

Amazing
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!
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!
