Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, accessible and friendly
Taking a professional tour with a knowledgeable guide into the Kruger National Park is somewhat key to the success of your experience. We viewed game we would never have spotted on our own and learned detailed facts about the fauna and flora. If you only have a short time in the Park it is highly recommended to book a trip with Elephant Heard Tours and Safaris!

Excellent experience. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Front start to finish this company was great at making a very fun and unforgettable trip for my mother and I. The transportation between airport and resorts and from resort to resort, the resorts we were stayed in were beautiful and affordable and the safari tours and panorama tours were incredible. All of the staff we dealt with were on schedule and they maybe the transport enjoyable with their friendliness and knowledge of the area and the tour. 100% recommend booking through Elephant Herds. They were ensure that you have an amazing and affordable experience that meets your wants.

Phenomenal!!! A+++
WOW!! Trip of a lifetime!
Although it has been 6 weeks since returning from South Africa and our multiple safaris in Kruger National Park with Elephant Herd Tours, I am still reliving our experiences daily! Brendon, the owner, goes above and beyond at every turn. Truly more than accommodating with all my requests. Trevor, our #1 guide is so incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and really did his best in finding all the wonderful wildlife in the park.
I highly recommend taking in both sunrise and sunset safaris, very different vibes for each. Elephant Whispers, the sanctuary is over the top beautiful and so educational! We also did a day Panorama tour, with Sean, which was beautiful. Many waterfalls, so green and breathtaking. Lots of fabulous local vendors at the waterfall stops to interact with and buy their goods. Overall, the experience was unforgettable! Thank you all!!!

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 helpful in giving advise. The 2 guides we had were simply the best and they spared no effort to make our tyrip very memorable.

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 was awesome, we were able to see all the Big Five thanks to our guide Keegan.
I highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours.

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
We booked our Kruger National Park safari through Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris after getting rave feedback from our work colleagues. Prompt efficient and professional from start to finish. At no stage were we in doubt as to what to expect, with a precise itinerary being received from Carla, which even included links to the accommodation options.
We chose a stunning private guest house called Dreamfields in Hazyview. It was exactly that. Thank you Philip for the service and breakfasts. How’s the little owl that is in the tree behind the swimming pool. Hope he makes it.
Our safari guide Trevor never stopped smiling. What a character. The Leopard man. Thank you Trevor for making us smile at 05h00 when normal sane people are still fast asleep. As for the safaris, Trevor you are the best. One day you can explain to us how you watch the road and see animals in the bush that we can’t even see with binoculars.
The panorama route is spectacular. Thank you for recommending it. We had no intention of sight-seeing.
Simply put, you guys rock and I want your jobs.

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 matters quite a bit in how easy it is to photograph animals and how quickly you can move through the park. If you’re considering a safari with greater than 6 I would advise against it.
Every human interaction I had from the time of requesting the quote was phenomenal. Brendon planned and arranged everything for us, including van transfers from JNB and back, and he gave us a taste of both Kruger National Park and a private reserve called Karongwe which is a few hours north of Hazyview. Brendon even took us to and from dinner both nights we were in Hazyview. Our safari experience in Kruger was perfect. We did a sunset safari on our first evening , followed by a full day safari the next day, and a super epic morning safari on our third day. We were fortunate enough to have Keegan as our guide on the 6 person full day safari. That was so enjoyable that we requested him as our guide for the morning safari with only my friend and I in the truck. So we basically ended up with a private safari for 5 hours, during which we saw all the big 5, plus a honey badger, plus a rare glimpse of wild dogs getting chased away from a kill by a lion! And this is during a time of year (November) when it’s typically more difficult to spot wildlife. Keegan has a wealth of knowledge about the animals and plants in Kruger which was both interesting and helpful in locating the animals we wanted to see. I would absolutely recommend Elephant Herd for safari bookings based on the quality of the safari experience and the high level of customer service. Many thanks to Brendon, Keegan, and Big Ray!
