Kruger National Park & Panorama Blyde River Canyon
We would like to thank you for the perfect organization of our five-day trip to Kruger National Park. Transport, accommodation, meals and care were of a very high standard. All information and communication before and during the trip was very good.
Shoes organized a great stay for us. We stayed in a tent and our guides Dyson and Desmond were great.
Dyson told us a lot not only about the habits of animals, but also introduced us to the life of people and the world of plants in this part of South Africa. Desmond cooked wonderfully, and the BBQ we shared for the last supper will remain in our memory for a long time. I can with great pleasure recommend this company to everyone.

Another Fantastic Visit to The Kruger With Shoes
This was our second time with Khalanga and Shoes and this trip was even better than the first. In 2023/24 we went to the South Kruger and that was fantastic! This time we were looking for a different experience and Shoes made sure that is what we had. Starting at Punda Maria we travelled down to Satara staying at Shingwedzi and Letarba along the way and visiting many other areas on our daily game drives. The organization and communication were superb; Shoes made suggestions and then gave us the opportunity to research before finally confirming. We decided this time to have two nights in each Rest Camp and three in Satara – 9 nights in total. This ensured we had sufficient time to fully explore each area and gave Shoes the opportunity to really showcase and share ‘his Kruger’. His knowledge and passion for the animals, birds, flora and geography of every part of the Park was incredible; every day was a unique experience encompassing far more than just a game drive and we learned so much! One of us is into Birds and the other into Animals and Shoes met both our expectations with bells on!! Shoes’ knowledge in differentiating between male, female and the juvenile of the bird species we saw made identification a fascinating exercise in itself and there was little that we didn’t see. As for the animals, of course we saw the Big 5 and so much more. Watching a Leopard climb into a tree to wait for its dinner to walk by, rounding a corner to be met by a pack of Wild Dogs walking down the road, Cheetahs with their young, Lions leaving the kill and the Vultures finishing off the leftovers, the Jackals, Hyenas, Rhinos, Elephants and, of course the Giraffe, Hippos, Crocodile and Warthogs – right down to the Impala and Mongoose and the African Wild Cat that walked by our verandah as we sat eating dinner, cooked by Shoes – Shoes’ expertise and skill in tracking and ‘reading’ the signs of nature ensured that we saw it all. We finished our adventure with 2 nights in Graskopf – the Panorama Route – and this was the perfect end to an amazing holiday. It is probably not hard to go to the Kruger and see some great sights but the experience offered by Khalanga Safaris is far more than this and we could not recommend it highly enough. We are now looking forward to journeying through the ‘winter Kruger’ with Shoes in 2026.
