Safari Co was responsive, listened to our needs and overall provided a wonderful safari experience.
From first contact with Kruger Safari Co they were extremely helpful in putting together options for our suggested date of travel. We booked our safari trip last minute and Wayne was great in terms of finding availability that worked for our budget and travel times. Getting to our accommodation was very smooth - the taxi bus was comfortable considering we had a 5 hour drive. On arrival the hotel Kruger Adventure Lodge had fabulous safari decor - a fire pit in their outdoor area and our rooms were extremely spacious. Most importantly we felt very safe in this accommodation and the reception staff were very helpful in providing guidance on how to access spa facilities and drivers. The safari experience was amazing. You can tell the local guides were close with the hotel staff which made everything feel very personable and seamless. We were brought in the 4x4 vehicles to kruger national park and our guides were brilliant in not only finding animals' sightings but informative on each animal we spotted. The staff were always pleasant and welcoming and nothing was ever an issue for them. We had a lunch packed each day for safari by the team and 3 course dinner each evening. Wayne the tour organiser was very attentive and checked in on us during our tour (which isn't common with tour operators) and was quick to resolve and address any issues we had. We wanted to do a night safari last minute and the hotel had no issue with organizing this for us and that night we had our own personal safari guide which was a highlight of the trip. That same day another tour guide brought us on the Panorama tour which provided fabulous scenery of south africa. I would advise to check the weather in advance of the Panorama tour as cloudy conditions leads to poor visibility for some locations. Overall we had a fabulous safari experience and tour of Hazyview in S.Africa and would highly recommend this tour operator and the hotel for a Safari experience.

Excellent organisation for our trip
We spent 3 days at Greenfire lodge , had amazing food and wonderful accommodation . There was a great wine selection and we were very well looked after . The safari was excellent with 4 game drives and we saw lots of lions up close as well as giraffes, zebras, elephants, birds, crocodiles , hippos, black and white rhinos . Thoroughly recommended and hope to go back soon .

Amazing
Kruger Safari has helped us tremendously. Starting with the booking process of our Safari where they were very detailed and helpful.
When we arrived at the airport in Johannesburg and discovered that one of our suitcases was left behind they helped us with taking care of getting the suitcase to our lodge in the middle of the bush.
I can say nothing bad about Kruger Safari and the service they have provided!

Definitely worth it!
From the sunrise and sunset drives, to the full day drives they are all amazing! I was able to see the Big 5 and more just on the reserve and when we went to the full day Kruger drive it was unbelievable! We even got to see a couple Leopards and Cheetah which everyone said will be hard to see. Food was great as well!

Beautiful & Wild Safari Experience!
My fiancé and I had an amazing 4-day, 3-night safari through the Kruger Safari Co. We stayed all nights at the Tremisana lodge, and I was happy with this choice. It afforded us three safari days in the game reserve and one into Kruger National Park. The only thing I wish I did was book the 5-day trip! I wasn't ready to leave and was hoping to find that elusive leopard! The food was delicious and my partner and I were always looking forward to meals. Be aware, the bar tab is added up at the end of your stay and is cash only. If you're traveling in July (Winter) be sure to bring some warm clothes and a wind-breaker. The long drive to Kruger gets chilly!

A1 experience
My wife and I along 2 of our friends throughly enjoyed this experience. From being picked up at from our Hotel in Johannesburg to our return. We stayed at the Hoyo Hoyo safari lodge and this is first class The staff very friendly and jovial. The food and service was excellent. Our safari Guide Jana was very informative and was great at finding animals. Take some warm clothes for the morning Safaris but they also provided warm Ponchos and hot water bottles. Thanks Wayne and all the others for giving us something to remember

Wayne is the man!
We booked a safari through the Kruger Safari Co for our first ever safari. It's been a bucketlist adventure of ours for years and we were stoked to finally make it happen! Wayne was amazing to help, and gave us lots of other recommendations to do while we were in South Africa. He found us a safari and lodging that fit our budget, and properly set our expectations for our experience. We can't wait to do another Safari and would definitely go through Kruger Safari Co to make it happen!
