Trustworthy all in one-package
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.
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
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
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.

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

Perfect Safari Trip
We used Nhlalala Travels to plan our time in and around Krugger and we honestly couldn’t fault them.
Their communication, customer care, information and excellent organisation make them a very easy recommendation.
To top it off they truly care about booking you the best trip possible on any budget.
Norman who was our main point of contact helped us shape the trip to exactly what we wanted. Communication and information was excellent throughout. Our driver Lucky who took us from Johannesburg to Krugger via the Panama Route was very knowledgeable on nature and history keeping up informed and engaged for the long trip. He was there throughout our time in Kruger helping us be where needed to be. Jerry our safari guide was also amazing, his knowledge and passion for Krugger was clear and made the safari even more special. His relentless pursuit of seeing all the animals including the big 5 is exactly what you want in a guide! We say the big 5 except and Leopard but did see Wild Dogs and Cheetahs which was simply amazing and not possible without Jerry.
We spent 2 weeks in South Africa on a self planned trip but using Nhlalala for the time in Kruger turned out to be a must do, so I would highly recommend getting in touch to discuss and plan your trip.

There were a professional in all aspects: punctual, courteous and responsive to questions.
Communication was prompt and accurate, Norman the driver and tour operator was excellent, a good driver and communicator, courteous and respectful,
The tour in Kruger was as expected (cold at this time of year, dress warm), many animals and sightings. Kruger Gate is a great resort, meals and service excellent.
The tour was good value.

The Best experience I have ever had, and impossible without them.
Coming to South Africa for the first time with my partner, we were overwhelmed by the short stay and the amount of activities to potentially do. However, the team at Nhlalala travel made this process seamless, from organizing, coordinating and providing a sense of safety, comfort and excitement, that I can truly say resulted in the best trip I have ever had hands down.
Our guide Khongi, was one of a kind. An amazing soul that was extremely knowledgeable about all things South Africa. From the moment we landed at Johannesburg, our journey to Kruger National Park was filled with history and great music. Every step of the 6 hr trip up was filled with interesting cultural facts and we were lucky to have Khongi as our guide on the way there. Additionally, the check in process at Kruger, helping us navigate the safari pick up times, guides as well as just ensuring every day we were well looked after, Khongi went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this company based purely on how much care is put into every client’s trip.
Once we returned from Kruger, the Panoramic view on the way back was one of a kind. We stopped at the best locations and had an amazing time, at the many markets and view points. Khongi’s knowledge of the area meant we stopped at the best locations for sightseeing and meals.
In Johannesburg, the tour of the city which can be highly overwhelming for first time visitors, was made easy, our guide along with Khongi, took us on an incredible journey through the heart of Soweto, through the heart of the townships, explaining at every step the history behind what we are seeing but also the positive changes that are taking place. The real sense of South African pride was evident, and without Nhlalala, I can confidently say that we would not have been able to experience Johannesburg in such spectacular fashion.
