Amazing tour guide!
We did a 5 days panorama route and Kruger national park and the whole experience was amazing! We had the chance to see the big 5 in Kruger (even a rhino in the last day) and the time we spend with our tour guide Derrick made the whole experience even better. He was full of knowledge and really interesting to chat with. I strongly recommend the private tour.

Another amazing day tour in Kruger.
Khalanga Safaris is amazing. It is easy to book a trip, the communication is super good, and pick-up at a Kruger camp was arranged. It was our 5 or 6 trip with Khalanga's owner Shoes. Shoes was born and raised in the bush, and has a great deal of knowledge about the landscape, fauna, animals and not least about our great passion birds. I can highly recommend Khalanga safaris for your Kruger trip. This is not the last time we drive with Khalanga /Shoes. Hopefully next time with overnight stays in Kruger national park.

Absolutely top notch safari operator. Could not imagine a better experience
I cannot imagine a better safari experience than the one I had with Khalanga Safaris. They are a locally-owned and operated tour company. Shoes and Ishmael were born in Kruger National Park and were incredibly knowledgable about the park and all the animals and where to find them. I went with a friend and our tour was entirely customized exactly as we requested. Our guide went above and beyond to give us the experience of a lifetime. I cannot possibly recommend Khalanga Safaris highly enough. We saw so many animals and they were incredible. Our guide cooked delicious meals for us and was so friendly and kind and brilliant. We had a wonderful time. Do yourself a favor and book with Khalanga Safaris. I am so glad I did!

Great Safari experience with a personal touch
My wife and I had a wonderful time w/ Khalanga Safaris. Shoes and Johanna were very responsive and helpful when it came to planning our trip and looking through different options . They helped us organize a 6 day tour including the Soweto tour, time in a private reserve (Klaserie), Panaroma Route, and two nights in Kruger park itself. Our guide in Kruger SK was really wonderful and made us feel well taken care of, even making Breakfast and Dinner for us. He also had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife. We had great sightings especially of Elephants. I plan to recommend Khalanga to any family or friends traveling to South Africa.

Met with my need, plan is unique for me
I was well connected with Shoes from the start to end. Whatever I got any problems she’s ready to get them solved for me in a very short time. It made my planning more easier & smooth.
My group consisted 2 parties. One of them can only spare 3 days for Safaris, while my couple stayed for 5 days. It’s a great luck for us to have Guide Derrick to be with us.
As he said, I was Guide Derrick, Driver Derrick, Helper Derrick, Chef Derrick & Joke making Derrick….
Derrick is full of enthusiasm for the nature & animals. He knows about the meaning of the sound made by animals. He can imitate the sound of a hurt animal to attract the attention of the lion. His observations are keen & precise, following the animals’ footprints on the muddy road & bringing us to the sites with elephants & lionesses.
I enjoyed very much the adventures with Derrick. I was thrilled when he’s chasing the hidden one of the Big five in the bushes. The tour was short but memorable. My whole group gave a big thumb to the services Derrick provided to us. It’s a great heartfelt appreciation!

Very professional team in Kruger
We booked Khalanga safaris for five fulldaysafaris under our 11 days in Kruger National Park. We have our own car but it is more relaxing to enjoy the nature in Khalangas safari car, just me and my wife, with a professional guide. We booked Shoes one day in Letaba camp and three days in Satara camp. He is really great, funny and professional and have worked in the park for thirty years. If you like to see lions go to Satara camp, and book Khalanga. In Skukuza our guides name was Micah, we did go for rhinos in the south, and after three hours we have already seen the big five, what a great day. Our guides Shoes and Micah is also birders, which is a plus for us. We can really recommend Khalanga Safari.

Fantastic experience
We booked a 6 day safari to the Tshukudu Bush Camp and Kruger Park, starting with the panoramic tour. We were accompanied by Donald who was our (very good) private guide and also prepared some delicious meals for us.
A fantastic experience !

An unbelievable experience!
Me and my wife had our honeymoon trip to SA late last year, and one of the first items on the itinerary was a Safari with Khalanga. We first started our tour by doing a day trip within Blyde River canyon area. Ishmael was our guide, and he was awesome. Fantastic energy, passionate about the area, he had a lot of neat historical information, and was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. That night we went to a stunning lodge outside the park (Ukuthula bush lodge) and had an incredible meal. Early next morning we met our new guide, Shoes. It was incredible getting to know him throughout the trip, as his passion and knowledge of conservation, the park, and the animals was amazing. He took unbelievable care of us, cooking meals, constantly helping with luggage, food, and water. Our trip was 4 nights, but we could have easily stayed another two weeks with him. We were absolutely spoiled and saw the big five, and some more rare sightings. It was an experience we will never forget. My wife and I had a hard time saying bye when our trip ended because we felt we made a lifelong friend. We absolutely recommend Khalanga Safaris to anyone and everyone!
