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!

Passionate, very experienced and a great guy!
Martin was exceptional!
His knowledge on all the animals was amazing and is such a great guy. We could not have a better person taking our family on this wonderful experience. Highly recommend going out with him on an experience you will never forget in the wonderful Kruger Park.
Thank you Martin.

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 and shared it all with us. His love for all wildlife is so genuine and just wonderful to be around. I don't know how he did it but he could spot the wildlife from afar, even seeing a cobra snake striking at a bird on the roadside, sad but incredible to see how nature is. It's a must to do this drive with these guys. Keegan also had great recommendations of places to go around Hazyview. Over and above our expectations for the day and memories that will last forever

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. You forgot to mention Passionate.
Thanks guys, you made our journey so enjoyable.

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 experience, but we will be back.
