The safari tours were an incredible experience and highlight of our vacation!
We booked a 3 day luxury tour from Johannesburg to Krueger National Park in October for our anniversary. Booking was easy using email and WhatsApp to communicate with Knap Tours.
The first day starts with about a 6 hour drive from Johannesburg airport to the destination riding in a van.
The "luxury" was because we chose to stay at a hotel, which was the Radisson. We were thrilled with that decision. The hotel was very nice, with two fabulous pools and great mountain views. The package included buffet style meals and our room was spacious and had air conditioning, which was appreciated. Highly recommend if you prioritize comfort.
We had a late afternoon tour once we arrived. It was booked for 14:10 but there were multiple safari jeeps and the drivers made no attempt to engage or announce their arrival, even though we were standing & waiting. We had to contact Knap Tours to figure out if our guides were even there and then had to go around asking the different drivers if they were for our tour. Once we finally connected with the appropriate car (30 min later), it was a smooth experience. The guides were nice and did a great job spotting and finding animals for us to view. Getting to enjoy the sunset in the park was beautiful. On our way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The full day was absolutely fantastic!! Our guide was great, and we saw so many different animals. It was incredible!! On the way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The last day was a morning tour. The park we went to was very sparse, and we didn't see anything in the first hour of driving. Even after it was a single elephant, a single giraffe, and old water buffalo. I don't know how, but near the end we did see a small family of lions which saved the tour from being uneventful.
We took a similar van back to Johannesburg. We were told the wrong departure time so the group was a bit frustrated that they were waiting for us. The drive was irritating due to two rude individuals who treated the van as their personal party being loud, taking phone calls on speaker, watching reels without headphones, singing, etc. while everyone else was trying to relax from the early morning start times. I wish the driver would have made an announcement at the first rest stop about respecting everyone in the van and keeping noise to a respectable level. Obviously, Knap Tours cannot control the behavior of others but setting some expectations might have helped.

Great service
Billy took us from Franschhoek to Aquila Game Reserve. The car was very comfortable and Billy the driver was very pleasant and accommodating to our changing needs. I highly recommend this trusted service.

Thank you it was really great!
Thank you it was really great: (1) collection at Joburg as well as distribution worked very well (2) at the park we saw (almost) every animal we expected to see (but not the lion) and explications were abundant. Lunch was well organised and really sufficient. We tell all our friends to book your service!

Our Knap driver was such a carefree, fun, knowledgable, expert tour guide.
Knap Tours arranged our overnight safari at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, 5 hours north of Cape Town. The safari experience was most excellent, but this review is about the tour company, which manages safaris in several countries, and there are quite a few options for safaris in each area. We had hoped to visit a safari closer to Cape Town, but when it filled up too soon for us, Knap found us another option and worked with our schedule and budget. They went the extra mile to get us there with the expert driving and guidance of Macdonald our driver, who was very laid back with the customs and rules of South Africa, and a very enjoyable conversationalist. We would definitely recommend Knap Tours in the future.
