Informative, puntual and superfriendly!
We booked a 5-day Safari Trip with Red Africa. They partner with the Elephant Herd and we get why!
We got to know a total of four guides. Some where drivers and others were tourguides within Kruger and Panorama Route. All were extremely friendly and passionate in their own way. They were also punctual and cared about us having the best time. The tours were amazing and worth all the money, but getting to know the guides was such a huge part of why it was so great. Shout out to Bekhifa and Trevor!

Superb value for money - and saw big five before lunch two days running!
The elephant herd team were excellent. We had a full 10 hour drive, in which we saw different parts of the park. The drivers worked together via radio if they had seen Lions, Leopards or Rhinos. Great value for money.

Great safari tour, great guide!
We had a half day morning tour at Kruger. We saw a lot of animals. The guide had an eagle eye and found a lot of animals. He was also very experienced and had a lot of knowledge. So nice.

The tour handled us was insightful, thoughtful and accommodating. They give best recommendations!
The tour was worth for the value for money. Brandon and his team was great, and even accommodate us and provide us different options when we need to lower down our budget. The alternative provided was beyond satisfactory. They were very friendly, and handled us in a very thoughtful manner when one of our activity got postponed due to the place itself. We were picked up slightly later than scheduled time for our first day, but the guide accommodated us by providing us extra time at the end. We also had trouble with change of plans as one of us had to do a detour and Brandon had patiently waited for one of our friends to arrive at the airport and transfer him safely and in timely manner to Umbkumbe. Please do the panoramic tour with them, cause their guides aren't just insightful on the safari, but also others and we truly enjoyed it! We ended up spending additional day with Elephant and Herd Tours. We couldn't have asked for better.
Excellent guide, with the best wildlife spot eyes there are and lots of wildlife knowledge
Our guide, Bhekika Ngomane did an excellent job. He finds al the wildlife, even during driving the safari jeep. He knows a lot about the animals and can explain it in perfect English. The funny thing was that he understood parts of what we told each other, because Dutch and the South African language have some similarities. Next time we are going to ask for Bhekika again!!!

Trip of a lifetime
Incredible service from start to finish. Prompt and early entry means you get opportunities to see rare sighting before they hide from the heat. Our tour guide Smiley was absolutely amazing! His knowledge not just about the animals but the history was second to none.
My only issue is the lunch the guides used to receive as part of the service has been stopped. They work insanely hard, and this needs to be reinstated!!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about all the different animals we saw
What an excellent time we had in both Kruger and Sabi. Both safaris were quite different to each other, and both very memorable

The trip was amazing! The tour guide was very talkative and the whole trip was a great learning experience and money well spent.

Wonderful experience: extremely punctual and easy :-)
There is the saying: "This is Africa". You should expect delays, creative deadlines, and challenges.
Not with Elephant Herd.
We had a wonderful time with no hiccups. They are extremely professional and punctual and what you say "yes to" is what you get. There were no times when we had doubts or any uncertainty.
The trip itself was amazing. We decided to go for a 4-day safari (in practice, this means 3 days, due to transport), which was a perfect length for us. It was super nice to both have a stay outside the park at Hazyview, but also have a night in the park. This gave two different experiences.
All the staff we interacted with were extremely nice and skilled.

Experienced and knowledgable guide
Our Guide Stanley, was such a pleasure, very friendly and knowledgable. We went on a half day tour to the Kruger park and thanks to Stanleys experience and expertise we were still able to see the big 5. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a guided tour through the park.
