Outstanding service for a trip of a lifetime
5/5

We had an incredible experience with Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris when visiting Kruger Park. The guides who took us were friendly, professional and knowledgable. They went out of their way to ensure that we had the best experience to see the wildlife of the park. I would like to mention Bekifa who is an incredibly talented guide who was able to spots animals from miles away. His tracking skills meant that we were able to see two lionesses with five cubs from metres away. What an incredible experience!

Absolut lovely Tour
5/5

The communication were really easy and fast, i was picked up from my Hotel in Johannesburg and dropped of at the camp after 5,5h.
The elephant whisper tour was an amazing 1h trip, the santuary is really taking care of the elephants and you can really see that they enjoy the work with the elephants. Next day I was picked up at 4:45AM for my safari trip in Kruger park which was really amazing with such a lovely and funny Tour guide! Also it is nice that they never plan more than 6 people in one vehicle, so everyone can have a "window"seat (we were 4 people in one vehicle). Second day were also amzing and really interessting as I had the whole vehicle just for myself with the tour guide.
Breakfast and Dinner were included.
My room in the camp was also amazing and my bed was really comfortable.

Very knowledgeable tour operator
4/5

We enjoyed the guided tour of Kruger National Park. We saw many different animals, some very close to the road. The tour operator was very knowledgeable about the various animals and the park itself. Would definitely use Elephant Herd Tour and Safari company again.

Excelent service and quality of the stay and tours inside Kruger
5/5

After a detailed search we choosed Elephant Herd because of the opportunity of interaction with elephants at "Elephant Whispers". We saw pictures of the lodge which had great quality and the best of all, were the private tour into Kruger with one of the best guides we ever meet: Bhekifa Ngomane

5/5

The tour was very successful with numerous game sightings. They guide was very professoinal and knowledgable. This was a public tour thru Kruger and stayed to the roads, but we saw numerous herds and more rare species, including rhinos and Cape buffalo. Highly recommended,

Yuri was excellent, hard working, attentive, informative, & an attention to details perfectionist.
5/5

I can't rave enough about this tour! Just life changing! I will be doing more safaris due to the excellence provided on this one. Not to mention that Yuri did everything he could to make sure that we all saw at the least the Big Five...and we did! I am a solo traveler & was met at the Skukuza airport on landing. The driver was informative on the drive. Once at the lodge, I was met by Yuri (my assigned ranger) & had a seamless check-in & introduction to my bungalow. The lodge & surroundings are beautiful & the staff was amazing! I arrived with 30 minutes to spare to take my first safari & it was just amazing! Every morning, I was up at 4:30am, knock on the door at 5am to make sure that I was up, then off we went at 5am. The safaris were 3 hours long. We arrived back at the lodge where breakfast was ready then we had down time to do what we wanted (enjoy the pool, edit/upload photos, read, etc) & usually there would be wild life wandering along the river. I saw elephant herds, giraffes, water buffalo, a hippo, kudu, & more up close from the lodge! At 2pm, we ate lunch then at 4:30 it was time for another safari & dinner on arrival back at the lodge. The food was delicious & the service impeccable. Each morning & night, while we were out, the staff cleaned our bungalows which, by the way, were beautiful, & comfortable (LOVED the outdoor rain shower). On my last full day, I opted to do a panoramic tour. My guide, Bhekifa, was so attentive & informative. He fell in love with my camera so I let him take a lot of photos while I used my iPhone & he took photos of me as well (which is nice when you solo travel!). I highly recommend doing the panoramic tour! South Africa is beautiful! I arrived back at the lodge just in time for the evening safari & had the morning safari the next morning before time to leave. Bhekifa was assigned to take me to the airport & arrived an hour early because he, being a ranger in Kruger National Park, wanted to try to find lions before I left. We saw a male & female lion plus so much more & he still got me to the airport on time. Exceptional is the one word that I would use to describe Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris!
