Amazing Wildlife and Warm Hospitality – A Truly Memorable Trip
We had the most amazing 5-day safari experience, staying at Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge and Umkumbe Safari Lodge. The drive from Johannesburg to Hoyo Hoyo was long but the scenery made it worthwhile.
Hoyo Hoyo was a perfect blend of luxury and nature. The staff was exceptional, offering 10/10 service, and the three-course meals were delightful. The lodge was spotless, and the waterhole right by the dining area gave us an incredible view of animals like elephants and buffaloes. The game drives were thrilling, and we saw so many animals, including leopards!
Umkumbe Safari Lodge had a different vibe—more family-friendly, but still a fantastic experience. The rooms were spacious with a fun animal theme, and being right by the river meant we had wildlife all around us. Our guide Jessica was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife. While the food was a bit limited, the bush walk and overall experience made up for it.
A huge shoutout to Wayne from Kruger Safari Co. He was responsive, helpful, and made the whole trip seamless, even with a last-minute change to our return plans. We’d definitely recommend this company for a stress-free safari adventure.

Unforgettable experience
Booking with Kruger Safari Co. was effortless and stress-free, which we truly appreciated. From our departure from Cape Town to our return, everything ran seamlessly. They accommodated our requests for custom flights and additional tours without any issues. We chose the 3-day package at Kruger Shalati and enjoyed every moment, especially the game drives. We were treated to delicious meals and outstanding hospitality. I’m excited to book our next adventure with Kruger Safari Co.

Amazing!!
My friend and I decided last minute to plan a safari trip to South Africa (by last minute we planned it in two weeks). I northern of us had been to Africa or on a safari so we were really unsure. After inquiring many companies, I got an immediate response from Wayne who was awesome. Not only did he get up a better place to stay but he was always responsive, gave explicit detailed directions and even when our plans changed last minute did his best to rebook and answer questions. I would highly recommend for anyone booking their first safari. Wayne and staff took all the pressure and anxiety out of planning/booking.

Very welcoming and efficient
My wife and I had a great time and were very well looked after by the entire team from our safari driver through to the team taking care of us in the lodges. The food was excellent as was the welcoming atmosphere, and the accommodation was perfect with excellent views and the odd elephant strolling past right below us.
Every safari drive delivered wild animals in heir natural habitat to observe at close range and photograph, we saw all of the big 5 during our 5 day safari. The hosts made us feel very welcome at all times and I could not fault anything. Well done to all.

Amazing safari experience
Our safari experience was amazing. It was our first time to South Africa. A lodge rep picked us up from the airport and took us back on the day we left. We stayed 2 nights and went out on 3 safari drives. On each safari we saw so many animals up close and in their natural environment. The jeeps (buckeys) we comfortable. Our guide, Marc, was very knowledgeable about the animals, Kruger, and South Africa. The food was absolutely delicious and almost every time we sat down for a meal the animals would come to the watering hole across the riverbed - it was like watching a tv but real life and super cool.
Cabins were comfortable and cozy. Comfortable bed, soaking tub and big shower. We also got an in room massage and foot rub during our stay. The were very reasonably priced and very good.
Would absolutely return. 2 nights was kinda quick maybe would stay one more night.
We saw zebra, elephants, giraffes, lions, wilda beasts, hippo, lots or antelope varieties, lots or birds, eagles and vultures.

Warm hearted and professional
Very good safari experience, Wayne's recommendation of Greenfire lodge was beyond my experience. Super warm service, clean and comfortable room, food was delucious - cannot imaging to have those 3 course dishes in the middle of nowhere. The driver and guide of the game drive was amazing, catching all big fives became very easy with their skill.

Excellent!
The Kruger Safari Co. was excellent at booking my stay and transportation to/from Elephant Plains Lodge. Communication was timely and concise. Airport transportation was excellent- the driver was on time, safe, and friendly. The lodge was terrific and we had an experience of a lifetime. I would recommend The Kruger Safari Co for any of your South Africa travel needs. I will definitely be using them again for future travel.
