The tour operator was an excellent guide, with a wealth of knowledge.
5/5

We had a range of ages in our group, from 87 - 15, so many different interests
Our guide was patient and kind and quickly realized that we were all seasoned wildlife travelers.
He drove until asked to stop for something specific, doing a route that offered the possibility of lions and leopards.
We had 3 wonderful lion sightings.
We were thrilled with every stage of our safari and can highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris

Excellent tour, knowlguide. Big 5 all seen
5/5

We booked with Elephant herd tours on recommendation of our Airbnb host. They were responsive and contacted us immediately. Though not cheapest, they wre happy to pick us up from our accommodation which was importantfor us. Our guide Vobu arrived on time. We made the kruger gates on time for the 6am open and were lucky to see the big 5 though of course this isn't guaranteed. Our guide was super knowledgeable and the elephant herd team have an advantage working with their team of other guides to gives their clients the best chance to see the animals. We chose the morning half day tour as our party included younger kids. It was freezing in the early hours but an awesome experience

Easy to work with
5/5

We used Elephant Heard for our 4 day safari at Kruger park. Bev was our contact from booking all the way though our stay. We really liked that they were a local company and available the whole trip if we had any questions or issues, Bev even picked us up from the airport. From pick up to drop off, everything was taken care of, we didn't have to worry about any logistical details. My family and I typically travel independently, but for the safari it was nice to just relax and take in all of the sites. This experience exceeded my expectations, I still can't believe the abundance of animals there are in the park. Lastly, it was a great value, our Lodging at the Zarafa was beautiful and included all the meals, they were delicious and the service was first class.

The operator was very friendly and helpful.
5/5

Our tour guides was extremely knowledgeable. Bhekifa in particular did a magnificent job. He read the animal pawprints on the ground and found all the animals we wanted to see. He was friendly and even used our phone to get the best pictures of everything we saw.

Best safari so far.

Elephant Herd was incredibly great to work with and delivered high quality adventures!
5/5

My family and a close friend booked five adventures through Elephant Herd. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! They were very knowledgeable, incredibly flexible, warm, friendly, reasonably priced, and very helpful! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with this company! From the company owners to the safari rangers to the drivers, all were first-rate and gave us experiences that will last a lifetime. As an example, Brendon, who owns the company with his wife, was able to meet all of our requests for tours and was even able to work in a drop-off at a shopping site for two of us while then dropping off the other two members of our group at a site to visit elephants! Also, Bekifa, one of our rangers, was beyond committed to finding a rhino for us to see on our last day at Kruger so that we could complete our sitings of the Big 5. He successfully found three for us to see! It was magical! This is a wonderful company with excellent communication, service, reliability, and a passion for what they do. We could not ask for more!

Best Tourguide Ever!!!
5/5

We had the most amazing experience with our Tour guide Vuyo.

The experience exceeded our expectations! The guide was incredible. He went out of his way to help us catch a view of all the animals!
He was in touch with the other game drivers by radio so he knew where the sightings were throughout the day.
We saw the big 5 before breakfast.

The knowledge and love for the animals and nature poured out of him it was a truly AMAZING experience with a exceptional guide.
