Fun and Exciting!
5/5

Endless Summer Tours provided us with a fantastic safari experience. We explored Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve and the St. Lucia Wetland Reserve.

Booking from the U.S. was easy. Our group of five let Rhys know what we wanted to see, so he created a wonderful, personal itinerary for us.

Our accommodations were all clean and comfortable. Best of all, was viewing wildlife right from our rooms. Rhys and Matt provided delicious, authentic meals. They're both great cooks and it was fun hearing their stories over dinner.

Rhys and Matt's passion and phenomenal knowledge of South Africa and its wildlife made for a great safari. Wildlife and bird sightings were numerous. One unexpected highlight was the chameleon safari, sighting chameleons and snakes.

Thank you so much, Rhys and Matthew, for a great time. We highly recommend Endless Summer Tours!

11 day Epic Adventure!
5/5

Endless Summer is not just a brand, or a tour company. To us, it’s family. This is our second time adventuring with our friends at Endless Summer and as expected, they exceeded our expectations.

Booking and communication is always quick and easy. These guys know what they are doing and are the best at it! The itinerary they built for us was one for the books!

For the first half of our trip in the Berg, we had Steve as our guide. Excellent navigator, planner, chef, and overall human being. He knows all the history, facts and trails in the area. We did some epic hikes, challenged ourselves physically and mentally, explored the waterfalls and caves of the bushmen, ate like kings, and just truly enjoyed every moment. Endless summer chose the perfect accommodations for us in the best locations!

The second half of our trip was in Kruger guided by the master himself, Rhys. Again, the accommodations were perfectly chosen in the park for the best roads and wildlife viewing. Rhys has incredible knowledge of the park, the animals, and South Africa in general. The knowledge they offer on these tours is a huge bonus! We did tons of driving missions looking for animals, had some EPIC sightings… the big 5 and beyond!, ate like kings yet again (the braii skills are insane), and had so many laughs!

I will recommend Endless Summer over and over again. We will continue to come back and travel with them because of their sheer love for what they do. Their passion sparks the passion in us and I can’t wait to come back and see what more South Africa has to offer with the best guides leading the way!

Thank you guys for being the best!

Excellent Safari of a Lifetime to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve with Endless Summer Tours
5/5

Our safari with Endless Summer Tours far exceeded our expectations. Our private guide, Steve, was well-versed, enthusiastic, calm under pressure (with a pair of bull elephants in the road), and a generous and accomplished cook. The animals were amazing, the housing comfortable, the opportunities and flexibility for optional activities, such as snorkeling in the Indian Ocean and visiting a cheetah preserve, added variety and interest to our trip, and Steve's knowledge of the indigenous peoples, history, flora, and animals made for an outstanding experience that we will never forget. In Steve's favorite words: "It was Epic"! Dealing with the company was straightforward, and we always got prompt answers to any questions we had. We felt very taken care of, and recommend Endless Summer Tours to anyone.

"Amazing Trip!!"
5/5

My girlfriend and I have just returned from our 4 Night Kruger safari and Blyde Canyon tour. Simply an unbelievable experience. And we were thoroughly impressed with our guide Steve. His professionalism, care to duty, knowledge of the park and all its habitats and passion for his work were remarkable to say the least. Along with his amazing cooking abilities... . Amazing. We have both left Kruger to return home but rest assure that Kruger will never leave us. We definitely recommend Endless Summer Tours to anyone looking for a unique experience.

An experience for life!
5/5

My girlfriend and I went on six days trip with Brett and got an experience for life! We were picked up from our hotel in Jo’burg and spent the first night in the Blyde Canyon area and four nights at two different camps inside the Kruger Park. The safari was a fantastic, a VERY skilled guide, good food, nice accommodation and a lot of beautiful nature and animals. The game drives with Brett was very good, he knows where to find the animals and he had a lot of knowledge to share. We had included some game drives with the rangers in the park, but we decided not to use all of them because we got much better drives with our own guide. The extra money we paid for sleeping inside the park and a private guide from Endless Summer was worth every rand. High value for money and a very nice experience. We will be back!

amazing adventure
5/5

We would like to thank you very much for organizing an amazing trip to Kruger Park and Blyde Canyon. The formula of the trip you invented caused experiences that we will never forget. A guide who not only carry and show curiosities, but also gave a taste of amazing flavors. All the long chats about wildlife and South Africa in general made this trip even more interesting . Unforgettable conversations under the stars, which from our point of view are unreal… Sounds of the night in the bush… A guide who is intelligent, polite and helpful at every step. Congrats Steve!

Meeting with Anthony was another story. Interesting conversation about business, South Africa and Poland. Shopping at the butcher’s showed us your philosophy of customer approach. Bravo Gentlemen!

I’m 55 years old. I have seen in my life a lot of, but such a travel company with such a philosophy first time. If anytime South Africa ones more, of course with Endless Summer.

A Professional, Knowledgeable, Flexible, Fun Organization
5/5

This was our second time visiting South Africa, and it was the second time I've used Endless Summer Tours. Once again they overachieved! This was a custom itinerary, and they were patient with all my questions during the planning phase, creative in coming up with custom itineraries for our group, and they executed the plans with precision.

Rhys really listened to our list of wishes and offered several options based on his local knowledge. Anthony provided last-minute confirmations for everything, which I was extremely grateful for, since that peace of mind is invaluable to those of us with OCD when we are in unfamiliar territory! They are above and beyond in the customer service category.

Dick and Brett are genuinely wonderful people, incredibly knowledgeable on the local flora and fauna, and it was a pleasure spending our time with them. They were on time or early for all set appointments, and I really appreciate that respect for everyone's time. We went on a coastal hike and a Drakensberg hike, both areas extreme opposites from each other, and Brett knew every animal, plant, tree, and flower without missing a beat. We learned so much on this trip.

It feels like this entire organization played a part to make our trip relaxing and fun. It was an amazing experience, and our group is grateful for all the hard work this team put into making it happen. I hope to have more opportunities in the future to use Endless Summer Tours in my travels.

Epic Honeymoon Safari!
5/5

Words can’t express how amazing this trip was! From the moment we started the booking process to the very end... everything was perfect. This trip went far beyond what I expected and each day came with new “wow” moments.

To start, booking was a breeze. Communication with Gayle, Rhys and Ant was fast, easy, and friendly. Someone was always there to answer a question or go over any part of our itinerary. Gayle actually put together a completely custom trip for us and squeezed in every activity we wanted to do all within our budget. She even surprised us with some extras!

Before I talk about what we did on the trip, I have to say none of it would have happened without our guide Steve. He made our trip. Friendly, knowledgeable, funny, an AMAZING cook, and really just an overall fantastic human being. After 11 days together, I can happily call him our friend. His love and respect for the park and all of the wildlife in it was beautiful. My husband and I booked this trip mainly for wildlife viewing, so to have Steve get just as excited to see something and to share that same energy and love for it all, made everything even better. I know that it is his job to drive and cook and cater to us, but he took it a step further. We didn’t feel like we spent the trip with a stranger, but with an old friend that we hadn’t seen in a while. From the moment he picked us up at the airport he was ready to go. Every morning in Kruger cooking us breakfast, to making beautiful lunch spreads, to his insane braai skills. I am a picky eater and he got me to try a whole bunch of new things and enjoy them too! When we were out at restaurants, he always had the best recommendations on what to get. He picked out the best bottles of wine. I really could go on forever! Steve, I hope you read this and know how much we appreciate you and everything you did for us. You went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more. We felt comfortable with you from the first minute we met and the more time we all spent together, the more we found we had in common... it was hard saying goodbye. We cannot wait to come back again and make more epic memories!
