Kruger Trip
Private Kruger Safaris took us on a delightful morning trip into the Kruger National Park. We saw a rhino up close and also witnessed a herd of elephants crossing the road around us on their way to the watering hole. Our guide, Bernhard was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Well worth it!

WOW! An awe inspiring all learning experience!
When I booked this tour I was a bit apprehensive especially having to get up so early-I am on holiday
after all! Had I have known how utterly "divine" it was to be I would have willingly stayed up all night.
The wealth of knowledge that was imparted was absolutely incredible. I felt like a sponge trying to absorb it all, and being able to apply the knowledge to the actual animals in front of you was an absolute joy, something I will never forget.
Even though we never saw any "cats", we did see their spoor, it certainly did not detract from the day.
I just love impressing all around me with my newfound knowledge, plenty they did not know but now thanks to Bernhard, and myself, they are now also enlightened.
This safari certainly exceeded all my expectations and was worth every cent, cannot wait to go back with friends and family in tow! Am now also looking for a larger lens for my camera, I can go on and on about the day I enjoyed it so much.
WOW and WOW again!

The guide was very knowledgable, smart and very accommadating. He was great.
The Safari tour with Bernhard was an out of the world experience. If I go back to South Africa it would be because of the people like Bernhard from this tour group and his associates.
I was there with my wife and 2 sons they had only positive comments for Private Kruger Safaris
One word Outstanding.

Very good experience, every thing went according to I expected
The tour was very good, satisfactory. Bernhard, the guide, is very kind and, most important, he knows how to do his job. He is also a photographer, so he try to find the best angles to see the animals. I recommend this tour.

Big 5 come Alive
Well what can we say. We experienced the amazing Big 5 and this was done in style and comfort through a well run safari operator who has a passion for the wild and Kruger Park.
Bernhard showed us everything from the various plants, birds of prey and of course the big 5. The drive felt as if it was tailor made for our party of 4.
Bernhard did not rush the trip and let us spend as much time as we needed at each viewing opportunity. He himself had opportunity to get some awesome pic's of the animals which add to his collection.
Bernhard thank you for an awesome drive and continue to live the passion of the wild as you do and provide the great experiences for all of us visiting the Kruger Park. C u in May 2015.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
