The tour was great! Better than we expected. Our guide named Doctor is a fantastic guide. We have been impressed with his knowledge about animals and their lives. And pararelly he did not bombarded us with the amount of words. Just perfect!...
As excited to find the big draw animals as we were!
Worth every penny! Our tour guide was Trevor and he was excellent. He set out with a game plan and told us right from the start that he would be driving past the ‘everyday’ animals in a rush to get to the lions, leopards, etc first -...

Incredible
Our tour guide impressed me with his sight - he was able to see animals hundreds of meters away. I remember him saying “I am smelling a giraffe” and as we drove around the corner, we saw the giraffe. It was an incredible day with a lot...

second trip, twice amazed
This was the second time we traveled on a multi-day safari to Kruger NP with Elephant Herd (2016 and 2021). We chose Elephant Herd the first time because of the very punctual response on our questions. Brendon, the owner, is always very...

3- Day Kruger National Park Experience with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris
My experience with Elephant Herd Tours was excellent! They were very attentive since the beggining, responding to all my e-mails very quickly. They organized everything, our transfer from Johanesburg, our hotel and the safari. The safari...
Dream come True
What an outstanding experience. Collections ran like clockwork. Vehicles were spotless. The guides were excellent. Trevor rocks! We manages to see all the Big 5 as well as three sightings of both wild dog and hyena.
I will be back.

GREAT COMPANY- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Best possible safari experience
My friend and I contacted elephant herd to plan a 5 day safari trip with only about 4 weeks of notice. We specifically requested a quote from elephant herd because they limit occupants in the safari vehicle to 6. As it turns out this...
Passionate, very experienced and a great guy!

An awesome day and a must do experience
This drive in the Kruger was the highlight of our time in South Africa. Picked up at our hotel very early in the morning by Keegan, our guide. We were so lucky and saw so much. Keegan is so knowledgeable on the animals, birds and plants...

Still can't comprehend what we saw
The African bush blew us away. Marc was our guide, a man with a wealth of information, patience beyond his years of experience and, well, just WOW. Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris stated that they only use dedicated professional guides....

Passionate and enthusiastic
Martin's passion and enthusiasm made our game drive even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! We definitely recommend Elephant Herd Tours!
Amazing
Our guide Marc was Out of Africa- amazing, awesome, person with a passion that overflowed. He went the extra mile for us, showing us what African bush is all about. Thanks Marc. Next time put a GPS on the elusive Leopard we missed.
Will come again
Vast information on all the animals, as well as on all the unbelievable birds in the vicinity. Our guide Marc kept us all interested, involving the children at all times where possible. We are going to miss the African bush and the...
