Amazing Team, kind and extremely helpful.
5/5

We booked transfers and a Kruger safari. Everyone was very kind and punctual, always giving tips and explaining the culture!

Elephant Herd provided a well-organized tour with a very friendly and helpful team
5/5

We recently had the pleasure of touring with Elephant Herd and were very happy with our experience. The team was incredibly responsive before and during the tour and answering all our questions and regularly checkin in to ensure everything was going smoothly. Our tour guides were very friendly and knowledgable and always on time. B. with his eagle-eyes spotted every animal close and distant making the Safaris a great experience! The accomodations provided were comfortable and very nice places. We can recommend Elephant Herd for anyone looking for a well-organized tour experience with the option of pre-arranged tours and the possibility to tailor activities to your own needs.

The best safari day we had!
5/5

Just a few days before our trip to Kruger we informed with Elephant Herd whether it was possible to do a private day tour. They still had a spot so we booked with them and it was a brilliant choice! Bhekifa was our guide who picked us up at the Skukuza Rest Camp and he knew the park like his pocket. He showed us the rhinos and many other animals. When we arrived at our coffee stop he heard there was a lioness near us and asked if we wanted to go for it or have the coffee first, of course we wanted the lion! It was like that all day, checking for options and talking with us about the animals and what we wanted to see. We really enjoyed our day with Bhekifa, he was a really nice and friendly guide with a lot of experience and knowledge. It helped us a lot through the rest of our safari.

The most amazing experience ever
5/5

The whole trip was organised to our needs and wants. Brendon and Bev made sure all our questions were answered and checked in throughout the trip. This reassured us as two females travelling to South Africa for the first time they made us feel safe. We were picked up by Bhekifa from Johannesburg, he was an amazing driver and very knowledgeable and had so much love for the animals when talking about them. Our tour guide on the morning Game was Trevor, he managed to find 4/5 animals of the big 5 within the first hour of our drive. He was so passionate and knowledgeable on all the animals and Kruger National park. The Accomodation we were provided exceeded our expectations. Zarafa was our first stop and absolutely breathtaking, so beautiful and the service from the staff and owner was so accomodating to our needs. Overall had the best time on our 5 day safari tour with the Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris and you should definitely book with this company.

The perfect mix of expertise, customer orientedness and quality
5/5

Feedback to Bev Miller and colleagues : THANK you for the unforgettable experience you gave us with this magnificent travel arrangement. It will be a lifelong highlight for me as long as my brain will work properly.
A nice compliment to Trevor who helped the full day Kruger safari to become an unforgettable birthday.
Specifically to Bev : you are the BEST person who crossed our path during our wonderful South Africa trip. Hannah and I will always remember your friendliness and how your arrangements and efforts were targeted and did contribute to our joy of travelling through your country.

Feedback to Zarafa (if you want to pass it on) : very nice setting and environment.
Enough space, beautiful accomodation, coffee and tea available.
Barry was very welcoming and friendly.
We received a very nice breakfast and lunch box for the full day Kruger safari, very much appreciated.
Some minor attention points :
- I would have loved a table in the (spacious sleeping) room to sit at, and to arrange my papers and read
- I missed a good reading lamp at the bedside
- Several power sockets were not easily accessible

Feedback to Umkumbe River Lodge (if you want to pass it on) : nice and professional welcome by our guide Shannon who looked after us during our stay.
The 'Buffalo' lodge was big, nice and clean. Coffee and tea available.
The careful arrangement of the mosquito nets was appreciated.
The safari drives with Shannon were excellent (4 x leopard, pangolin !).
Good meals : lunch, BBQ diner and buffet breakfast.
Beautiful river view at the restaurant.
Some minor attention points regarding the lodge :
- The outside shower was difficult (temperature either too cold or too hot, balance was difficult)
- WiFi in the lodge would have been appreciated
- International power socket would have been nice
