An unforgettable memory
If you are planning to visit Kruger, do not hesitate and choose this agency. Norman was always attentive to make sure that we had an unforgettable and personalize experience and he was also very open to listen our point of view of points of improvement to be the best.
A part form the wild animals that you can see in Kruger National Park, don’t forget to visit Blyde River Canyon. It’s absolutely incredible!
If we have the pleasure to come back to this beautiful country, we will repeat the experience for sure.

Norman was outstanding to coordinate the trip with due to his flexibility and prompt responses.
Norman was great at accommodating my travel and payment requests. Khongi was the driver assigned to my trip. He was a friendly and outgoing personality which made him easy to talk to. He expertly navigated the many potholes on the Panorama Route. I felt safe with his driving the entire trip.
The Kruger Gate Hotel was amazing as was the safari at Kruger National Park. The safari was a new experience, and I therefore had a lot of questions. All of the tour operators were patient to ensure I was comfortable. I did the full day safari which included two breaks. One in the morning and one for lunch.
The Panorama Route was a long trip back to Johannesburg. We made two stops. One at the Lisbon Falls and the second at the Blyde River Canyon (includes the Three Rondavels). The weather wasn't great but we managed to see the sites despite the rain and clouds. Beware that this route doubled the amount of time to drive back to Johannesburg.
Overall, Nhlalala Travel was a lovely group to work with.

Fuss free tour and comfortable stay
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!
