Ukhozi Tours delivered an exceptional, personalized safari with expert guiding and photography coach
David put together a fantastic itinerary and handled all the planning for our amazing week in Kruger National Park and surrounding areas. He communicated frequently with us from the start and guided our selections to perfectly match our wish list. His guidance was exceptional and went above and beyond anything we could have expected, he offered advice on everything from packing, to safety, to other things to do while in South Africa. David handled all the logistics including vehicle rental, route planning, airport pickup, selecting and arranging lodgings, and provisions for our family of four (2 adults + 2 teens) including one with a severe food allergy. He even personally prepared two fantastic meals for us on the braai!
During the safari he was an extremely informative guide who knew the area and the animals exceptionally well, he kept every drive entertaining with information about various plants, birds and other animals, and national history. We saw all of the Big 5 animals, plus so many more; we even had 2 leopard sightings within an hour of each other!
As a professional photographer he was able to provide excellent guidance and mentoring to a complete beginner. He set up amazing shots and offered advice as well as feedback that were instrumental for building confidence and capturing magical moments.
Ukhozi Tours planned and executed an altogether exceptional and uniquely tailored experience that was more than we could have hoped for and we can’t wait to go again. Beware the bite of the Safari Bug!

Awesome
I can't praise David highly enough for his thorough attention to detail while looking after us, excellent from dawn to dusk and a few BBQ skills as well so we did not go hungry! We saw all Big five and up close, testament to David's patience in finding them!! NKuhlu in particular was a specular camp with the beautiful beasts coming to say hello. I'd highly recommend David for a fantastic experience!!!

Beyond expectations
David, owner of Ukhozi Tours, is an exceptional tour guide with amazing bushcraft and endless knowledge, whether it is identifying birds or talking about the trees and the smaller creatures of the Kruger National Park, the terrain or Africa's truly majestic animals. We managed to get within an arm's length to African elephants, without our safety ever being compromised; we laughed at the antics of the hippos in their pool; held our breath in awe when we got up close to a coalition of young lions and words simply vanished when we were privileged enough to see a leopard in the last hour of our last day on safari with Ukhozi Tours. David's knowledge of KNP is vast, and it is because of this that we were able to spot all of the Big Five - elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard - during our six-day safari. He is very personable and attentive - I struggle with osteoarthritis but he ensured our trip was both comfortable and enjoyable. We can't recommend Ukhozi Tours enough. This was a trip that has given us so many special memories and we will be sharing them with family and friends for years to come. Thank you, David, and Ukhozi Tours!
