Organitazion was great, starting with booking and the full experience. Lodges were fantastic, driver very nice and informative. Safari in Kruger srl is great and in the riserva is even better.

We spent a very good time in this safari with a very nice guide who explained very well all we were seeing. We had the chance to see the big 5. I recommend this tour.

Great organization for first time visitors
5/5

We asked Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris for an individual plan during our stay around Kruger and specified a lot of fixed dates and activities.
Bev did everything to our satisfaction. We got picked up on time every time. We had great safaris and tours and got to know the area very good. Now we know everything better.
We made a safari at Kruger National Park and Game drives in a private reserve. We saw the Big 5 and even more.
A pleasant surprise was the Elephant Whispers where we could be so close to the elephants like never before.
Thanks for the great tour planning.

The review below is the personal opinion of Winnie and not that of SafariBookings.
The safari was great but service could have been better
3/5

We were fetched by the driver (Smiley) At 4:30 in the morning, he was driving so fast on a dirt road it felt uncomfortable.

Going from our hotel (Higrove) to the Kruger lodge where he was fetching other passengers - he stopped about 5 times as he was speeding the car top kept opening

He was good in knowing where the animals were and we saw 4/5 big 5's.

The only issue was that he was condescending in his responses to whenever we asked a question which I found disrespectful

My partner gave him R100 as a tip at the end of the tour - his response was that half a bread is better than nothing... can you imagine post a terrible service he gave us

So yes - he was great in getting the animals but customer service could improve

Patient and amazing service from the tour guides.
5/5

Our experience with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris was absolutely unforgettable!
ImFrom the moment we booked, the team was professional and attentive.
The guide (don’t remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and local ecosystem, ensuring we spotted elephants, lions, and even a rare leopard. The vehicles were comfortable, and the entire tour felt safe and well-organized. Seeing the elephant herds up close in their natural habitat was breathtaking—an experience we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend this company for anyone seeking an authentic and well-run safari adventure and sightseeing.
Bhekifa was our Pano Guide and he also provided very good service, he was patient and amazing as well.

5/5

Can’t recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris enough. Very responsive before we flew out and super helpful with any queries we had. The accommodation we stayed in was truly amazing and luxurious. It was great to meet Bev in person and spend some time with her. Our whole time in and around Kruger ran smoothly. We managed to see all of the Big Five and lots more besides. We were very sad when our time in Kruger was over, but have already been in contact with Bev to help arrange our 2025 trip. Thank you for giving us so many fabulous memories.

Professional and delivered as advertised
5/5

We retained Elephant Herd for both airport transfers and for guided tours and safaris on five of the days we spent in and around Kruger. While we did have an initial hiccup regarding an Elephant Herd trainee driver, each tour and safari exceeded our expectations primarily because of the skill, professionalism and communication of our primary guide whose name - Remember - we will doubtless remember. Even other guides from competing firms stopped while on safari to ask advice or get recommendations from Remember. We didn't get to know another guide named Patrick due to only seeing him as our transfer driver back to the airport, but in that drive, he too demonstrated the knowledge and expertise we will now come to expect from Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris.
