Unforgetable experience

5/5

Since the begining, Shoes was always helpful and thoughtful with all my questions, even before I hired him. He managed to tailor the experience exactly to my needs and wishes.

During the days we spent on safari with him, he was very good at tracking the animals and determined to find not only the Big Five, but also other highly interesting animals, while sharing a lot of curiosities and knowledge of wild life and of Kruger park in general.

He is very positive, high energy and a fun person to be around, being on safari with him was always a pleasure.

If you are going to South Africa, Khalanga is your go to safari guide!

Ps.: I highly recommend that you let him cook you some of the local dishes of South Africa. We got to try bobotie, braai and other meals and they were all amazing!

The most amazing safari guide - MUST BOOK

5/5

We were a group of 9 family and friends spending 4 days in Skukuza and 3 in Olifants Camp. We were absolutely thrilled by this safari - in large parts as a result of our amazing guide: Shoes Mathebula is the best!

Every step of the trip was perfect:
1. Planning: absolute professional, very responsive to emails and helpful when we booked him with easy and safe international payment options.
2. Flexible pickups at Skukuza Airport to transfer to Skukuza Camp (our group came in on 2 different flights).
3. And of course: the game drives! We saw more wildlife than in our wildest dreams. We also gained many fascinating insights. This was in no small part due to Shoes' expertise, easy going personality, dedication, knowledge, flexibility and enthusiasm to make us happy and show off 'his' Krueger Park. Tracking lions hunting, figuring out where they are by triangulating the direction monkeys in trees are looking towards, observing tracks on the road, ... Shoes added so much to these game drives - careful observations, interpretation of the signs, the patients, the excitement, the action. He is very knowledgable and informative and spots every animal, all while driving very safely.

One last comment: if you are contemplating the self-driving option you need to realize that the elevated view from the safari vehicle in combination with Shoes' expertise and explanations makes for a completely different safari experience. I would definitely opt for the latter and can enthusiastically recommend Shoes Mathebula, the owner of Khalanga Safaris.

Professional

5/5

We booked an 5 days safari ( panoramic route and Kruger). The safari with Khalanga exceeded all expectations and left us with beautiful memories. From start to finish, their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for wildlife made our adventure extraordinary.
The booking process was very easy and Shoes answered all the questions very quickly to meet our requests. I really suggest Khalanga Safaris :)

Perfect safari with a very experienced guide!

5/5

Before booking, we got many different proposals, programmes and ideas to find the right one to fit within our needs (travelling with children) and budget.
Everything was perfectly organised and the accomodation well-chosen. The programme was spontaneously adapted to our interests and Shoes, the guide taught us so many background information about the savannah, took us to places without any other visitors and shared his experiences in wildlife observation! Thank you for those unforgettable 4 days!

Great private experience :)

5/5

Shoes and team was very prompt with response from planning/booking the trip. The entire experience my wife and I had was really excellent, from the private dining with chef Desmond (whose food really helps fighting the home sickness while camping), game drives were well planned and we had encounters with 4/5 Big 5! With two leopard encounters :)

It was a really unique yet fulfilling experience!

Do give Shoes a chance to plan your private safari experience! (the tents do get quite cold in winter, though extra blankets were provided but good for everyone else in the future to be ready!)
