Trip of a Lifetime
We had a wonderful time on our safari trip with Endless Summer Tours. Rhys grew up in the area and has been going to the parks since he was a child, so he is well acquainted with all the details necessary to plan the perfect safari trip. His communication was excellent while planning our trip and we emailed back-and-forth many times customizing an itinerary just for us. When we arrived at the airport, he picked us up and took care of all the details after that. We drove the Panorama Route and spent a day at the Blyde River Canyon (in a park lodge cabin) and spent 4 days at Kruger (in 2 different comfortable, but not fancy bush camps) on full day safaris. Then we spent 2 days in the Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park on full day safaris, and then went to the St. Lucia Estuary for a wildlife boat ride. We saw so many animals, including the Big 5! Afterward, he dropped us off at the airport. He kept us on schedule the entire time. A problem did arise that our boat trip was canceled because there were not enough people booked, so he quickly got on the phone and arranged new boat trip with another company. The private safari drivers he hired were very informative and explained different facts about the many animals that we saw. He cooked regionally inspired meals, including South African braai (barbecue) over an open fire and everything was delicious. Rhys met us midday on our private game drive days and cooked us our lunch/brunch. It was truly the trip of a lifetime! We would highly recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Amazing experience in Kruger
We are really happy with the company, from the begining Rhys answered all our doubts quickly giving all the information that we needed. The safari planning was perfect.
The safari has been amazing, Tommy is an incredible guide, he has a lot of knowledges about the country, the animals, the park… He tried to make it possible for us to see as many animals as possible, including the Big five, and he got it thanks to his effort. The camp sites were very good, the food quality… In summary everything was wonderful.
If we have the opportunity to come back to South Africa, you'll be the first option

Our tour operator and our guide were excellent in providing us with a remarkable Safari !
We went on the 9 day/8 night Kruger Safari because we wanted to experience the full Kruger National Park. Our guide, Wade picked us up promptly at our hotel in Johannesburg. We stayed in North Kruger at North Kruger, Central Kruger, South and Deep South Kruger. Our guide was great! Taking on Safari drives and pointing out so many species of wildlife, including all of "The Big Five". He also served us excellent meals, which he prepared daily in our outdoor kitchens at each of the Rest Camps where we stayed. Wade was personable and made sure we got the most out of our Safari experience! I would definitely recommend Wade and Endless Summer Tours.

Excellent value for the money. Wonderful experience.
Really enjoyed our safari. All accommodation, food and transportation were provided. The meals were good, although heavy on meat. Our guide was excellent at finding animals and willing to take us out to see creatures at any time. The accommodations were not fancy but they were pleasant and comfortable, with private bathrooms. The huts were also very clean. Endless Summer also booked our accommodations at Victoria Falls and our activities there. I highly recommend Endless Summer for a great safari experience. Good value for the money. The transportation was also helpful. We were picked up in Johannesburg at our hotel and taken to the airport to catch our plane for Victoria Falls. The van was very comfortable.

The tour operator was amazing.
We used Endless Summer Tours in February and went to the Tala Game Reserve. We had the best time. Rhys was a great guide. He made sure we had great views of all the animals and he made the time searching for animals. This was a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend this company.

Unmatched Kruger Experience!!
This was an absolute 5 star experience! I would recommend a tour with Rhys and Wade to strangers and friends alike. The trip to South Africa was a bit outside our comfort zone and Rhys’ responsiveness, knowledge, and help during the booking and planning process made this big trip feel more approachable. Rhys and Wade’s flexibility and focus on our small group’s wants and priorities was a huge benefit of this trip as opposed to being on a a larger, more structured group tour. From the commutes between JBurg and Kruger, to the homemade meals, expert animal sightings, unmatched Kruger knowledge, and little things like providing a surprise birthday treat for my fiancé and hearing our favorite veggies in discussion and serving them for dinner the next night, we felt safe and well cared for! We will 100% be back for another safari one day and Rhys and Wade will be our first call!

Only Company To Use for Safari!
No need to look at any other companies. Endless Summer is great!
Rhys was very responsive during the planning process and focuses on making the Safari custom to exactly what you are looking for. He is a great cook and very knowledgeable about the animals, as is Wade who also was a guide on our trip. Highly recommend - our group loved the safari in Kruger.

Great Shore Excursion
We (4 of us) had an excellent tour of Tala Game Reserve and Phezulu in Valley of 1000 Hills when our cruise ship came into port in Durban. Our guide, Sibongile, did a great jol of driving and narrating so that we were able to see both areas during our limited time in port. She was very knowledgeable about the animals that we encountered in Tala. It was a much better alternative to be in a small group rather than on a ship's tour.
