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!!

Norman you are an exceptional person!
5/5

What an experience from such a warm gentleman. We arrived late due to passport control in Johannesburg. Norman waited for us to collect all our baggage and headed to us.

We then headed to Soweto to experience the history of the south western townships. We felt safe and secure with Norman every step of the way. We visited kruger national park twice once on a sunset game drive and the second time for a jam packed day beginning at 6am.
The final leg of the tour consisted of a visit to panorama, visiting gods window, beryln falls and three rosenvals grand canyon.

We stayed at the holiday inn and the Sabi sun resort. We were extremely pleased with the choices Norman found for us especially the Sabie.

Norman was very knowledgeable which added to the experience. Despite a packed 4day schedule, he kept us on track without feeling rushed. We joined a lovely woman on the Safari who assisted our game drive called Happiness, we would like to say a huge thank you to her also. What a day we had with you.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Norman and will do so to all my friends and family. You will not be disappointed.

4 Day Safari and Panorama Experience with Norman and Brilliant!
5/5

Norman and his colleague Brilliant were exceptional from start to finish. We were met at Johannesburg airport and driven up to our 4 star hotel in Kruger. After check in we went on our first evening game drive. All organised really well and we saw so many animals in the first few hours, including 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos but the guide said they hadn’t seen any for nearly a month). The next morning was another game drive followed by a late afternoon relaxing at the hotel. The next day we changed our plans to do the panorama route (highly recommended) and we had another amazing day. On the last day we asked Norman if he could recommend anything for our visit and he obliged with a stop off in Pretoria on our way back to Johannesburg. It was really interesting to see a completely different side to our trip and Norman was a wealth of local knowledge and history of the area. I highly recommend Nhlalala Travel. Norman and Brilliant’s professionalism, flexibility, kindness and expertise made our trip one to remember and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. For the experience we had, the price was an absolute bargain for 4 days of fun.
Nhlalala Travel are a smaller company, but if you want a tailored personal experience from a trustworthy guide, then I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Norman and Brilliant. Well done in the rugby as well!

Terrific 3 Day Tour with Nhlalala (and Khongi in particular)
5/5

Our 3-day Kruger Safari and Panorama Route adventure with Nhlalala Tours was truly unforgettable. A special shout-out to our driver, Khongi, who made this journey exceptional.

We enjoyed our stay at the scenic Hippo Hollow and the guided drives into Kruger National Park were fantastic! We spotted four of the Big Five and many more animals. The spots Khongi chose as rest stops were also spot on. The vehicle was safe, he was on time, and he was great company throughout the trip.

Nhlalala Tours provided a well-planned itinerary that suited our limited time. If you prefer spontaneity, consider adding extra days. For us, it was a perfect fit.

In conclusion, Nhlalala Tours delivers an outstanding Kruger Safari. Highly recommended! Kudos to Norman, Khongi, and the whole team for a remarkable experience.

Fantastic day trip with NHLALALA TRAVELS!!
5/5

Awesome excursion to Pilansburg Game Reserve! Nhalala Travels made everything perfect from the booking and transfers. Norman, the owner, was a gem to work with. I booked this excursion for my husband and it was the highlight of his South Africa trip. My husband saw plenty of game on this one day Pilansburg excursion from elephants, giraffes, lions, wildebeest, leopards, rhinos, hippos, and zebras. Book with NHLALALA TRAVELS!

Reliable, friendly and professional
5/5

I booked the 2-day Pilanesberg Tour with Nhlalala Travel. Communication with the tour operator was very good (both prior and during the trip). Norman was a great guide, very knowledgeable, considerate, friendly and always available. I travelled alone and Norman made sure that everything went smoothly. I felt safe the entire time: from the pick-up in Pretoria until the drop-off at Johannesburg airport the next day.

The safari was a great experience. The sunset and sunrise tours were amazing. I was able to see elephants, rhinos, lions, hyenas, hippos, and giraffes. Pilanesberg is a wonderful place.

I would highly recommend Norman’s services, Nhlalala Travel and their Pilanesberg tour to anyone. It's ideal for someone who wants to do a safari before heading home from a business trip and needs flexible arrangements.
