Amazing tour and trip; highly recommend it
We spent 3 days in Sabi Sand using Kruger Safari Co. as the organizing tour company based in Jo-burg. We had a fantastic experience! The company is very communicative throughout the process (and we are based in the US and booked the tour in advance). The rides were punctual. The safari lodge (Umkumbe) was amazing. The safari is an incredible experience that we absolutely recommend to anyone. Overall a great experience!

Reliable, professional, and personal
One of the best experiences of my life! The tour was incredible and personal, I felt well cared for and looked after. The team were genuinely interested in me and my friends, and were never afraid to engage in conversations and joke about with us (important for young travellers like me and my friends!). The tour was great value for money - we couldn’t find another operator that provided the same experience at such a low cost.
We saw all of the big 5 thanks to our wonderful guide Mylord, and were fed wonderful food and wine (!) by our new friend Musi.
I couldn’t recommend this enough. A once in a lifetime experience I’ll never forget.

Fantastic value for money, really comfortable, good food and accommodating staff.
Our first safari. We were on a budget with limited time. This safari was perfect. The tents were comfortable and even had electric blankets. The food was amazing each night, accommodating dietary requirements. Dinner also included a bottle of wine. The safari was amazing, we were lucky enough to see the big 5. Our tour guide was very informative and took us to all the perfect spots. Before arrival the company was very communicative and able to pick us up to our airport hotel.

The Kruger Safari Co arranged an amazing experience for us, and was extremely responsive from A to Z
Wayne from Kruger Safari Co was amazingly quick and thorough to respond, even with the time difference while we were still in Canada, we never waited longer than a day. Often just a minutes or hours. They offered a zoom call as well to explain things to us, which was so reassuring because there are tons of options and it's hard to know what's what. He answered all of our questions and concerns and arranged an amazing stay! We chose the classic camping safari. For camping, it's quite a luxury experience. We even had our beds made while we were out on safari. The campsites in Kruger have everything that you need. Breakfast and dinner were provided each day and were ample. The person responsible for our meals and stay went to the trouble of getting fish and seafood for our dinners since my colleague doesn't eat meat. I thought that was really exceptional. The safari guide was incredible. So knowledgeable and in tune with the bush! He spotted rhino waking in the distance... I want to say kilometres away! They were like little specs and he noticed them while driving! He really didn't miss a thing. We saw tons of amazing animals up close. On our last morning drive, our guide was focused on finding us lions since it was the one thing we hadn't managed to see. He found one in our last half hour before we had to head to our shuttle. It was amazing. He was so dedicated and you could really feel how much he cared. He was also very respectful of the animals' space, and attuned to what they were communicating with their ears and tails, etc... backing off if an elephant seemed agitated or nervous for example. I learned so much and had a wonderful and unforgettable time.

Great company for safari.
This was our first time coming to South Africa and we wanted to do a short trip to Kruger National Park. I started looking for budget safaris and got several companies that o requested quotes from. The Kruger safari company was the first to respond and they did so quickly. I communicated with Wayne for several months working out a few kinks that I had made and he was very helpful in answering all my questions. The transfer to Hazeyview was uneventful and long but the ride was fine. The adventure lodge was nice for a budget safari. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were great and we enjoyed them. The safari itself was really fun and we enjoyed the sunset safari and the all day safari. The third day we did the panoramic route and that was very beautiful. All in all I would recommend the Kruger safari company and I will be se them again if I ever come back to South Africa

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.
