Fantastic
5/5

Norman is simply an exceptional person. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable stay at Kruger National Park. The hotel was superb, the food was excellent and we had the chance to see the big five and more!
We had a great day visiting exceptional viewpoints: gods window, potholes, three rondavels and Blyde river, lisbon falls. I recommend, book without hesitation!!

All round a great experience.
5/5

We did a three day safari/the panorama route with Nhlalala travel and had a great time. Contact before our trip was prompt and informative and the booking process was seamless.

We stayed at Perrys bridge hollow which was an ideal location for accessing Kruger park. The views on the panorama route were incredible.

The service and overall experience was superb. Norman could not have been more accommodating and everything went very smoothly. He was informative, and told us lots about the history Kruger park and about the towns we passed through on our journey. Overall very good value for money and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Trustworthy all in one-package
5/5

We really enjoyed our safari tour to Kruger with Nhalala Travel.
From the beginning the communication was very kind and we got all replies very quick. Norman was accompanying us during these days. He made us feel very confortable. He is a openminded person and we had very interesting talks in the long drive from Johannesburg-Kruger & back.

Great value, great service, great people.
5/5

I did a 3 night safari to Kruger National Park, and stayed at Sabie River Bush Lodge. Norman, the owner of Nhlalala Travel answered all my questions quickly and made the organization of the trip easy. The tour guide, Khongi, was fantastic—knowledgeable, helpful, friendly—he made sure everything went smoothly. The accommodations were great value, the Park was full of wildlife, and the best surprise was the Panorama route, with spectacular rock formations and mountain views.

Best Tour Operator
5/5

We really enjoyed our safari trip and stayed at Sabi River Sun that organised by Norman from Nhlala Travel. Norman provided the best services, making sure we were being looked after. And the private travel from Tambo Airport to Sabi River Sun is a big plus!! I would recommend anyone that needs to book their safari trip at Kruger Park to book with Norman. The price is affordable, the tour is amazing and the operator is very realible - 5stars.

UNFORGETABLE
5/5

We booked online from Brazil and were a little concerned at first since none of our agents here knew the company. They went to Joburg airport to fetch us upon our arrival and since then we were so well cared and pampered all the travel long.
Our guide, Norman, made every day a special day - always patient with my kids, eager to show us places and tell stories. We not only recommend the services but also consider them part of our family.
Can't wait to travel to SA again.

Fuss free tour and comfortable stay
4/5

Decided to go with Nhalalala Travel because of the many positive reviews. Had 2 young children so booking a safari tour was a no-brainer. We booked the 3D2N Kruger Safari Tour with Panorama Route. Booking the tour was straightforward, simple and fuss free. I truly appreciated that Norman was super responsive, prompt and comprehensive in his replies. I’d think that the highlight of the trip was the hotel venue, Kruger Gate Hotel. Glad that it was an option as part of the tour package. Their viewing deck was amazing - we saw a family of elephants right in front of our eyes! Truly a magical and unique experience. Being just a minute away from Kruger Park’s entrance makes it extra convenient and no time wasted. It was also nice that the tour guide was friendly. Some areas of improvement, however, is that clearer communications during the actual tour would be good. For instance, we only knew who will be picking us up and at what time the day before. We were also only told the day before our sunset drive that children below 6 will not be allowed, this is despite us informing in advance of the age of our kids when confirming the tour. Thankfully they managed to find alternatives by engaging another Safari guide to bring us out in the afternoon instead. Still, it would have been better to have known upfront about the conditions and limitations earlier. There were also times where I felt some uncertainties when my queries were not answered timely during the tour, e.g. we were told to be at the lobby by 6am but waited till 6.15am for the tour guide to arrive. It would have been nice to give me an update of the whereabouts and estimated arrival time if late. Hence, I strongly suggest to iron these details out in advance if you were to book the same tour. Nevertheless, the overall experience is still lovely and I’d recommend first-time travellers with limited time to try out this tour with Nhalalala!

Really great! Made the booking and planning process easy and we had an amazing time!
5/5

We did a 3 day safari from joburg and returned via the panoramic route. The whole experience was smooth from beginning to end. We had Lucky as our driver and guide and he was great! Friendly, knowledgable and ensured we got to see some rhinos on the drive back when we didn’t get to see them in Kruger! He also made some great recommendations and was always on time and made sure there was good communication throughout. The safari experience itself was a dream! We got to see 4/5 the big five and all of the ugly 5. It was a once in a lifetime experience and one of the top memories from our honeymoon
