Excellent private safari
We are a group of seven and we made a 5 days private safari with Khalanga.Our guide was Shoes and he was great.We have seen all the big five and much more.Everything was well organized and the price we paid was much better then other offers we had.We totally recommend Shoes and Khalanga safaris.

A truly wonderful experience for our family!
A truly wonderful experience for our family! We have recently returned from a very special trip to Kruger where Shoes was our guide for 4 days! We wanted to see as much as possible of the park and he tailor made our trip to ensure this happened. Shoes has a true passion for the park given that he was born there and his knowledge and enthusiasm was outstanding and made it a very special experience for both us and our children! We really hope to be back one day and will definitely be getting in touch with Shoes! Shoes' colleague Emmanuel was also a very warm and engaging person and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Panorama route with him!

Trip of a lifetime
If you're thinking of booking Khalanga Safaris, look no further. We had an absolutely wonderful time with Shoes as our guide. Johanna was extremely responsive and wonderful with handling logistics and we felt in very capable hands through the entire process.
We saw the big 5 (and more!) within 24 hours of arriving and the experience blew our expectations out of the park. Having Shoes as a guide is a completely unique experience in itself. Not only has he studied- he was born and raised in Kruger and his love and knowledge for conservation has been passed down from generation to generation. He has a rich knowledge base about all things Kruger - the wildlife, tribes, plant life, ecosystem, culture. If you are a birder, Shoes will impress you with his ability to find and ID hundreds of birds. As a vet student and conservationist myself, I can say that I (and the other scientists in my group) were extremely impressed with Shoes' knowledge, passion, and connection to the park. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

It was perfect!
I was on a 4 days game drive with Khalanga Safaris in Kruger National Park. Khalanga Safaris took me to this place even if I was the only tourist. Coming from Germany after the boarders recently opened there were not that much tourists. I had the chance to do the trip alone. Shoes is a perfect guide knowing a lot about the wildlife and the countryside. He could find hidden animals and took care that I can take a lot of pictures. Especially at some very busy places (lions and leopards). It was my first trip with Khalanga Safaris but certainly not my last.

Safari - Once in a lifetime worth doing it!
We were a group of 7 people from Romania and have searched a lot for choosing a safari company and we made the right choice. Khalanga Safaris has done a great job, Shoes was a great guide and company, cooking and sharing with us all we needed to know about the safari. It was very important for us that Shoes was local and he knew all the insights, we wanted to experience the original safari, sleeping in the camp and Johanna and Shoes explained it all beforehand. We booked everything before flying to South Africa so we were a bit nervous as we did not know what to expect, but Johanna took great care of us and she was writing WhatsApp messages even at 22 at night to make sure everything is well planned.
Great experience and value for money and we would certainly choose them again if we were to do it again. Thanks a lot Khalanga Safaris! We will not forget our first safari experience with you!

Expert and fun
Starting in the central Kruger we travelled all the way to the north and experienced the baobabs and forested areas, then travelled all the way to the south and experienced the mountains of the South. Over the ten days in the park Shoes managed to find everything and more we could have hoped for. we stayed in a different camp every night with Berg en Dal being a great way to end the trip. Cant wait to go back

Khalanga is full of excellent knowledge of the bush.
We have used Khalanga for our overseas clients for many years, when they are going on Game drives in Kruger. They always come back to our lodge full of wonderful experiences after the drives.
Mr. Shoes is full of knowledge. He can tell you everything you want to know. That is knowledge about a tiny ant, plants, trees, birds and of course all the game.

Shoe is great person, dedicated to what he is doing.
It was a perfect day exploring the Kruger National Park with Shoes from Khalanga Safari,
who was born inside the Kruger and raised in the same Kindergarden where all animals have their kids.
He speeks their language, knows the best places and with all his knowledge about the enviornment,
he made this experience to an unforgatbale meet and greet with the "big boys and girls" :) his family and friends.
Thank you Shoes for all your time.
Very Respectfully, Aron
Extremely charismatic and passionate about his job
It was such a great experience, Best game drive tour so far, Mr.Shoes is extremely passionate about his job,
He explains very well everything you need to know about the animals and likes to respect their habitat, he is very patient with his customers and is willing to help you find the best places to take pictures of the wildlife.
Definetly worth the value for the money. I highly recommend.

Round transfer from Hoedspruit to Polokwane and back. Enjoyable, safe, good conversation and prompt
The communication was excellent and interesting and informative. John was born in the Timbavati and his knowledge of the Tsonga culture was interesting. Our conversation made the trip go all too quickly. The service was excellent; the vehicle was clean and he was sensitive to our personal needs along the way. The transfer surpassed our expectations and we will use Khalanga again. Also we look forward to taking a trip with him in the Kruger as soon as this is possible for us.
