5/5

Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure in Kruger National Park, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located in northeastern South Africa, Kruger is one of Africa's largest and most renowned game reserves, offering an unforgettable wildlife experience.
The highlight of any safari, of course, is the chance to see iconic African wildlife in their natural habitat. Kruger did not disappoint. Within the first few hours, we had already spotted a pride of lions lounging under a tree, which set the tone for the trip. Over the course of the safari, I had the privilege of seeing the "Big Five"—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos—along with a stunning array of other animals like giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, and even the elusive wild dogs. The diversity of wildlife is incredible, and it felt like every turn offered a new and exciting discovery.
A safari in Kruger National Park is an experience like no other. From the stunning wildlife to the breathtaking landscapes, every moment felt extraordinary. Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor, the park offers something for everyone. It's a place where you can connect with nature, witness the raw beauty of the African wilderness, and leave with unforgettable memories.
I Highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris for anyone looking to experience the magic of Africa up close!

Incredible experience
5/5

We had the best guides, Smiley and Trevor and on day 1 Doctor! They were fun and made sure we saw the big five and also the birds as we have a special interest in them. They knew so much about the animals! And they were right on time!

Very prompt and professional
5/5

We did several safaris with Elephant Herd Safaris. The booking, payment, confirmation process was smooth and straightforward. They were always on time and professional. All our tours were with Rememba, and he went out of his way to help us see the most interesting wildlife, even going over time to help us see a leopard that had been spotted nearby. He truly made the safaris more memorable.

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.
