Friendly and safe!
5/5

We had a great time in Kruger Park with Lucky (our guide from Nhlalala). The service was beyond what we expected! We had a limited time before I travelled for work in South Africa and Lucky helped us to get the most out of it. It started with timely pick up from our hotel in Johannesburg and a few hour drive to Perry's Bridge, where we were staying. The hotel was amazing, the staff was welcoming and the room is just so comfortable. A treat after a long journey!

We went on a sunset game drive to give us a feel of what to expect. We got to see a few animals then but the highlight would definitely be our game drive the next day. We were lucky to have the whole vehicle for ourselves and were looked after so well throughout the day. The hotel packed our breakfast (because we started at 5.30am!) and we get to enjoy it in the park. We got to see all the big 5 that day!

However, my husband became unwell after the game drive and we had to cancel our panoramic route drive on the way back to Johannesburg. The hotel staff and Lucky were so caring and understanding. They look after us until the time to get our last minute flight from the local airport. I definitely recommend the team. If I ever end up in South Africa again (high likely!), I hope we get a redo on the panoramic route.

Amazing experience from day one. Communication was easy and they were very responsive as we tried to curate our tour. Our driver Norman was friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to share with us about the beautiful South Africa.

Incredibly safari experience
5/5

We went on a two-day safari with Nhlalala Travel in March/April and had the best time! We already felt very well looked after beforehand. Our (many) emails were answered very quickly and we received a great overview of the planned days. On the first day of the safari we were picked up at our accommodation in Pretoria and drove (super safely) with Norman to the national park. Norman grew up in the Kruger National Park so he was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions and tell us lots about the park and surrounding areas. There we had a private safari with Jerry on the first day. Jerry was a great guide, he really did his best to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible and catered to all our wishes. He kept chatting to all the other safari guides to figure out where the animals were. We were extremely lucky to see the big 5 on the first day and soooo many other animals. In the evening we had a nice meal at the accommodation and spent a lovely night there. The next morning we went on another great safari and then headed back to Johannesburg. Nhlalala Travel was super accomidating and dropped us off at the airport, where we ended this great two day trip. The whole experience was really great, well organized, great value for money and the people super nice. I would recommend the company to anyone and will definitely do another safari with them in the future.

Fabulous Trip
5/5

We had a wonderful trip with Nhlalala Travel. Norman picked us up from Johannesburg airport and drove us up to Kruger National Park for our safari. The organisation of our 3 night/4 day trip was seamless and Norman made a great job of looking after us. We stayed at The Kruger Gate Hotel which was a fabulous location.

Our itinerary was:
Day One - Travel to Kruger - Sunset Safari
Day Two - Full day private safari
Day Three - Panoramic route
Day Four - Sunrise safari - return to Johannesburg

Norman has lots of knowledge and made sure we were well looked after from the minute he picked us up at Johannesburg airport to dropping us back off safely 4 days later.

Communication was great during hooking process and I'd happily use Nhlalala Travel again if I'm lucky enough to visit South Africa in the future.

5/5

Our trip with Nhlalala Travel to Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route was truly unforgettable. Our guide, Lucky was knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and scenery we encountered. The accommodation was comfortable and the food was delicious. The highlight of the trip was seeing the animals up close in their natural habitat. The Panorama Route offered stunning views and unique experiences. I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel for an unforgettable safari experience.
