5/5

My husband and I went on the 4 day safari, staying at the Tremisana Lodge on a private game reserve in Greater Kruger, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We experienced an afternoon safari not long after arriving and saw Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Lions and Giraffes as well as the monkeys that hang around the lodge. Then at the dinner in the bush we saw Hyenas. The next day we watched Wart Hogs at the water hole next to the seating area while having breakfast at the lodge - Impalas also visited this area. We did a bush walk with Luke the Ranger and watched the hippos at the water hole - all the Rangers on our safari were friendly, funny and knowledgeable - as were all the staff at the lodge. The food was good and the accommodation was clean and we had everything we needed. Special mention to Ed who made sure we knew where we had to be and what time, and the Rangers that we had - Raymond, Victor and Elvis who seemed to remember all our names from the moment we arrived.
The day in Kruger itself did not disappoint - we saw all the big 5 except for the elusive leopard - Zebras, Buffalo, Wilderbeests, Kudu, Waterbuck, Stingbok, to name but a few, as well as a number of birds.
The directions that we received from the Kruger Safari Co to our pick up point at Johannesburg airport were excellent and all on time - they also sent me messages to make sure we had got there ok and that we had arrived at the lodge - communication was excellent throughout. I thought the 4 day safari was well worth the money as everyone did their utmost to make sure we got the best experience possible.

Excellent service provided by everyone we met and we were made to feel very special
5/5

We were very happy with all aspects of this tour from making the booking to arranging the collection in Johannesburg. Then our transfer to our camp within Kruger. We enjoyed the sunset safari followed by a lovely meal including wine. We had three full day safaris and saw the big five as well as cheetah and many other animals. Most of our meals were good and a few were okay. But it is difficult to cater to everyone's tastes. Our tour guides were outstanding in their knowledge and their determination to give us the best experience possible
We felt it was good value for money

Excellent Service and communication
5/5

When my family decided on a safari for vacation, I immediately became overwhelmed with the options and locations available within Africa. Several inquiries with other companies just did not feel right. But from the minute I found Wayne with Kruger Safari Co, I knew I had found the right company. His communication was excellent in regards to the many questions I had and I felt no pressure at all to book. Our family spent 4 nights at Umkumbe Bush Lodge with a goal of seeing the Big 5. We flew from Johannesburg to Skukuza and from there were taken to our lodging. Umkumbe is located within Sabi Sand private game reserve and provides luxury tent glamping. When I say luxury, I mean air conditioning, turn down service, daily wake ups for the early morning game drives, wet towels for face and hands waiting for you when you arrive from the game drives and so much more. The location felt small and private as there are only 11 “tents”, there is a nice pool and bar at the treehouse with an overlook to an open field for game viewing, the food was very good and plentiful, the guides and trackers were knowledgeable funny, and very accommodating to our requests to try to see specific animals. The animal encounters are VERY close and I am excited to say that we saw the Big 5! I cannot recommend this experience enough as it met and exceeded all of our expectations.

Such a great holiday
5/5

Booked a 5 day Kruger safari through Wayne Barnes at Kruger Park Travel and couldn't have wished for a better experience. Wayne was so helpful in arranging the holiday I wanted and it was more than I imagined it would be. Accommodation was arranged at Kruger Adventure Lodge and what a place that was - just 15 minutes drive from Kruger. I cannot thank Wayne and Kruger Park Travel enough for arranging this holiday and I would highly recommend them.

I cannot highly recommend Wayne enough. We found Wayne due to the reviews on this page and it did not disappoint. He is incredibly responsive communicates well gave us a lot of suggestions as to which airports we could fly out from on the day. The transportation and transfers were arrange like clockwork, we had a great time And going with Wayne just took away a lot of the planning stress away thank you for everything
