Legendary!
Legend Safaris exceeded all of our expectations. Arun was a great guide who's experience made for a great safari for our family. He worked hard to make us comfortable, he was a font of knowledge about the park, the animals and so much more. On day number one he found a lion stalking a herd of Impala and hours later drove us to a leopard "hang-out" where we saw our first of two leopards in two days. Beyond the leopards we had up-close encounters with the other four of the "big 5" AND hyenas and wild dogs which are quite rare to see. We can't thank Arun and Legend Safaris enough for making our experience LEGENDARY!

Amazing photographic tour of Kruger!
The safari that I booked through Legend Safaris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. For months before my arrival date in Johannesburg, Shaheen communicated with me very frequently, giving me a clear overview of what to expect and what the daily itineraries were. He even helped me secure a visa by issuing me official invitation letters, which was a big help. While on the actual safari, Legend Safaris head guide Arun showed me an excellent time! I had communicated to Shaheen before the trip that as a keen amateur wildlife photographer, I have some particular requirements while on a game drive, and Arun, being a qualified photographer himself, was able to accommodate these perfectly. Whether this was positioning the car in a way that suited the angle of the shot I had in mind, changing route direction depending on the position of the sun to get optimal lighting, or even following leads from other guides on good sightings, Arun worked very hard to ensure that my game viewing experience was excellent. At times, he drove over 200 kilometres in a day, just to get me the opportunity to view the maximum amount of game. Overall, the service I received from Legend Safaris was absolutely exceptional, and I would heartily recommend them to any travellers, whether it's your first time in the bush, or you're a game drive veteran. I will certainly be booking with them in the future and will hope to do many more game drives in the years to come. Thank you both for a great time!

Exceptional Photographic Tour of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park!
When Shaheen recommended that the Kgalagadi was a great place for an amateur wildlife photographer, I leapt at the chance to arrange a game drive through Legend Safaris. The service I got on this 4 night/5 day tour of the park was truly exceptional! Arun, the head guide at Legend Safaris, picked me up from Upington in the early hours of the first morning, and we drove to the park to begin our game drive on the same day. Over the following days, Arun put in some seriously hard work with his driving to make sure we covered the vast distances of the Kgalagadi effectively, in order to maximise our game viewing opportunities. At times, the going was tough - in particular, on our third day, we hadn't had a single exceptional sighting the whole day. We had driven from Twee Rivieren at the very southern tip of the park, all the way up to Marie Se Drai without so much as an ear poking out of the bush. We had covered exactly 294 kilometres, and still Arun maintained his professionalism and drive to get me an exceptional shot. And then, we were rewarded with a pair of lions - a beautiful male in the prime of his life, and the lioness he was paired with - literally two metres away from our vehicle, basking on the sandy road in the Kgalagadi sun. We stayed with that pair for nearly 3 hours after that, all the while Arun maneauvering the car with the changing light and as a courtesy to other visitors to allow them an opportunity to view the lions as well. My 5 days in the park were filled with such remarkable stories and the cherry on top was the bonus day Shaheen had booked for me in Nossob camp, free of charge, to attempt some star photography. The service I received through Legend Safaris was far and beyond what I expected, and I am extremely grateful to both Shaheen, the owner, and Arun, the head guide, for making my stay so very memorable and for imprinting the Kgalagadi's wonders on me in such a special way. I would heartily recommend the company to anyone considering a trip to South Africa for game viewing, as their expertise and knowledge of the bush, along with their hospitality, is sure to make anyone's experiences extremely enjoyable.

Worth it
My mum and I had a really good experience. On the morning of the safari we woke up late but they kindly waited for us. Everything we needed to know was explained to us before hand.

Thank You Legend Safaris!
Thank you so much to Legend Safaris for a wonderful day in Kruger Park! It was so convenient for us to be picked up on time at our Lodge for a day of game viewing! Although we cannot control the animals, Our driver made effort to hear from other rangers in order to try show us the Big 5. We did see the big 5 before lunch as well as other animals, big and small! For my British friend, it was a very special day to remember! I will recommend Legend safaris any day!

Just Great!
Arun was excellent, we highly recommend legend safari
Forget anything else, safari with Legend at Sabi Sands is the ultimate experience
Thank you so much Legend Safaris for an absolutely epic trip - everything about our Big Cat safari at Sabi Sands was 11/10. The team has a genuine passion for the wildlife and go over and above to make sure that you are comfortable, that you are getting incredible wildlife encounters and are feeling completely at home with them. We went out on 6 game drives and on all 6 had close encounters with leopards; we saw a lion pride 13 strong mount an attack on a herd of buffalo, and we even saw a pack of hyenas steal a leopard's keel and the subsequent struggle by the leopard to recapture his prize. Cannot recommend highly enough, looking forward to heading back at some point in the next few years. Thanks so much to Shaheen, Zaheer and Asma for looking after us so well!!

A great tour guide and well-organized safari
The communication and planning before the safari was excellent. Customer service was very responsive. The tour was well executed and we were very fortunate to see a great number of animals in their natural habitat. There was ample flexibility in the program where needed, and Arun, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and hospitable (great cook!). The accommodations were excellent and, overall, a wonderful experience! Highly recommended....

Excellent. I would gladly use them again and recommend them to everyone
One of the best experiences ever! The legend safari team has exceeded my expectations. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable with enough room to turn around and get a full 360 view. The guide had exceptional knowledge of the animals and knew exactly what area of the park you can expect to see what animals. We managed to see the following animals
Waterbuck
Giraffe
Zebra
Elephant
Buffalo
Impala
Warthog
Hippos
Fish eagle
Vulture
Monkeys
Wildebeest
Tortoise
Kudu
Steenbok
Rhino
Baboon
Francolin bird
Eagle
Lion
Cheetah
Honestly, without the guide we wouldn’t have seen even half of the animals.
I highly recommend Legend safaris and look forward to another tour with them.
