Best Safari day ever!
Wonderful guides with THE best knowledge about the park's animals and good places to spot them. Keen to make sure the customer enjoys the trip and with a personal love and interest for the animals, they will do everything possible to ensure an experience of a lifetime. If there are animals around, those guys WILL find them. I'll never make a visit to Kruger without them again.

The best safari!
We had an amazing time in Kruger Park. Arno is an excellent guide. He gave us loads of fascinating facts about the animals. We spent two days in the park and saw it all: lions, elephants, rhinos, zebras etc…
Highly recommended.

Safari adventure - an outstanding experience!!!!
On the 18th of November 2015 I Mrs Pauline Ledwaba and my friend Mrs Cecilia Kekana visited the Kruger National Park. We had prior made online bookings with the Private Kruger Safaris for a morning tour. The friendly and full of respect man in the name of Bernhard collected us at the bed and breakfast we were accommodated at early in the morning on our way to the Kruger National Park. He drove us throughout the Park, guiding us with so much knowledge. As it was rainy, we were provided with raincoats and the service was excellent. As pensioners, we had a great time and were greatly treated by this gentlemen until he drove us back to the accommodation. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality Bernhard!!!!!

Incredible One Day Private Kruger Safari
Where to begin... Our Private One day Kruger National Park Safari, was absolutely incredible. It began by seeing two lions who had just caught breakfast and were eating it near to the side of the road, and a leopard with a baby cub just a few metres down from the Lions! We saw all of the big five and got so close to a Rhino and Cheetah that words couldn't even describe our excitement at seeing these beautiful animals so up close and personal.
Bernhard our Guide was unbelievable... We honestly couldn't have asked for a better guide, his knowledge of Kruger was impressive and not just of the animals, but the vegetation's and plantation throughout the park. The guides have radios so they are able to communicate and tell each other when they have found certain animals which those on there own drives wouldn't know or be able to see as Bernhard had the most amazing eye for seeing animals that we would never have seen on our own! Bernhard has a huge passion for photography and so does my partner so he really does have the eye for getting those unforgettable pictures and my partner was incredibly grateful for this. Unfortunately our battery ran out after seeing some lions mating and Bernhard offered his camera to my partner to take photos and even SENT us the photos a few days later!! Amazing.
Thank you so much Bernhard for making our first trip to Kruger so unforgettable and allowing us to see all of the big 5 and getting so up close and personal with them, it's a trip we will never ever forget so Thank you, you're doing a great job!

Highly Recommended !!Great drives with experienced and very friendly guides !!
In April 2015 I stayed 5 nights in the Kruger Park ,doing every day safaris starting 6 o clock in the morning.
It was a bit hard ,to get up 5 times at 530 , but well worth it !! We had beautiful sightings due
to the excellent knowledge of my guides Bernhard and Hennie, and we had the occasional luck you need to see very
rare animals. The overall service was perfect, I was picked up at Skukuza airport,very convenient, everything was explained in
detail to me and I could come up with own wishes / requests at any time .Great picnics with fresh prepared
food, it was very comfortable and the overall atmosphere in the car was friendly and highly professional !!
I have been quite a few times to Kruger Park before , but these drives were the best days / drives I ever had
in Kruger !! After the trip, I received great photos of my wildlife sightings , the fine memories are still alive !!
If money permits , I will return in next years September !!

Terrific Safari, Great Experience and Knowledge, Great Pictures
My wife and I had a tremendous safari with PKS. We saw every animal you could imagine (and some that we had no idea existed), while in the comfort of PKS' open-air (but sun-protected) SUV, and learned enough to fill many books about animals, their habitat and habits, bird species, etc. The Bekker brothers take care of every step of your trip, and are at your service the whole way. We were up before dawn to maximize our animal viewing time, they knew all the most likely spots to see interesting sightings and are your "insiders" to the park. They always made sure we were comfortable in our rooms, with food and drink, and led us to see and do whatever we wanted. Would highly recommend.
In addition, they provided us with dozens of great pictures of our experience, as they are both skilled photographers. They added shots that we struggled to get with our own camera, and then shared them with us immediately after the safari. This was a great bonus.

Bernhard was an excellent guide and shared his extensive knowledge and experience with us.
Bernhard is an excellent guide and showed that he knew the park and the animals extremely well.He freely shared his knowldge and took us to all parts of the park.He also distinguished himself from the other rangers by providing personalised service (teas and coffees) and allowed us use of his binoculars. He is highly recommended and I will not hesitate to use him again! Well done Bernhard!!

Private Kruger Safari - a 3 days tour missing nothing at all
Me and my wife booked a 3 days tour in the Kruger park. Bernard picked us up closed to Johannesbourg, and returned us there on the third day. Bernards detailed knowlegde about the park helped us to experience all wildlife we had hoped for, and even mote. In addition, Bernard was excellent with his camera - and shared some beatiful picktures with us via Dropbox. Private Kruger Safaris fixed prise included everything needed for the tour - except the food. Even the Dropbox service was for free.
If I ever again go to the Kruger park I will for sure use Private Kruger Safaris. The best there is.

A must with Bernhard Bekker
I am a photographer first and foremost, I met Bernhard Bekker some 5 Years ago, every time I Visit the Kruger, I drop Bernhard an email. Bernhard goes out of his way for me to get the shot and ensures the sun is in the right place. From great Sunrise shots to game and Sunsets. Pick the Animal you would like to photograph and Bernard will find it traveling a hundred Kilomaters if Neccessary, his bird knowledge is exceptional and is able to play you the exact song or chirps on his phone,sometimes the birds respond in Song. This is a truly amazing experience! And if after reviewing shots utilizing the incorrect white Balance or the shot is not sharp Bernard will turn around and go back. Sometimes he will patiently wait for 20 vehicles to move so you can get the shot or see that leopard. Nothing is a burden for Berhard, who is a well mannered gent, respect is earned and Bernard has my utmost respect with his years of Knowledge and stories he is able to relate. Most important is he is able to predict Animal behavior and keep you safe during your safari. That to me is the most important aspect to any Safari! I will certainly utilize Bernhard in the future and highly recommend him. Should you require memories Bernhard will take photos for you too, Do tip him for the Photos as Bernhard is required to purchase his own equipment each year and do take a Fast SD card for him to record your Safari.
