Very nice operator: our experience was pleasure
It was very nice from first to last day of the trip.
Car took us from airport, five hours ride to Kruger, then beautiful sunset safari. We stayed at chalet (it was comfortable and clean), name of the place - Pretoriuskop. There are some animals in lodge: monkeys, wild chickens, mongooses, squirrels.
Early at the mornings we went to safari again, breakfast we had on stops in nice places. For lunch we came back to lodge. Unfortunately, in Preturiuskop there is only one cafe/restaurant - Wimpy. Wimpy is a South African fastfood and it is not very good for us, because 90% of there food is prefabricated. But there is also grocery shop and some kitchens in the lodge.
About dinner - it was very nice, because or tour leader with his colleges cook some tasty food for dinner at camp at lodge and served it with vine for us, it was pleasure.
Our guides on safari was a very nice guys, there were always open for some new information about animals, their behavior and also they tried to find for us more animals. Also, they always patiently wait while you taking pictures:)
Of course, i don't said about animals, because it is a kind of random. We saw lots of and also big five too. But when we saw leopard, he was laying on the ground in the bush and we saw only his head and tail. But, i think, safari company counld't ask leopard to show him in another way :)
So, in general, it was very nice, there are only one thing that's guys can improve - food for lunch (Wimpy is not a dream).

Posted on Apr 29, 2023Hi there Kirill,
Thank you for booking our classic safari to the Kruger Park, our classic safaris certainly offer some of the best open vehicle safari game drives.
We do understand that the meals from Wimpy in the Pretoriouskop rest camp can sometimes feel a bit prefabricated, so we are looking into offering our guests home cooked lunch meals in the future.
Our safari guides certainly go out of their way to show our guests as many animals as possible whilst on safari and glad that they delivered the best to you.
We hope to see you soon back on safari with us.

Wonderful experience
We did the 4-day Tremisana Safari and what an experience ! The staff was really kind, the hand-made food soooo good! Everything is done to make you spend an authentic stay. We really enjoyed the safaris as we saw a lot of wild animals in their natural environment! I totally recommand this experience

4 day Kruger safari
The 4 day tour was truly an unforgettable experience.
The crew is competent and full of passion and fun.
The relaxed and humorous way made it all more familiar. We really felt welcome. During the safaris, the rangers also gave us the time to observe the animals in peace and take unique pictures. It did not seem hectic at any time. The only criticism I would like to note here, and that is complaining at a high level, that lunch during the stay in the Kruger was a little too long in coming. We only got our food when our break was actually already over.
Thus, we missed 45 minutes of our safari tour.
But all in all I can recommend this tour to everyone.

Posted on Apr 29, 2023Hi there Tobias,
Thank you for your glowing review, our guides are certainly humorous, make sure that you have more than enough time to get your once in a life time photographs and that the safari as fun and informative as possible.
It is pity that the lunch meals do take some time during peak traveling months and this is something we are looking into for the future to make sure that our guests spend as much time as possible on safari drives and not spending time waiting for meals.
Hope to see you back on safari with us in the future.

They were knowledgeable, kind, and were committed to giving us the best experience.
The 5 day Kruger safari was excellent. It is a perfect type of safari for the adventurous types. The lodging was very immersive with the nature around it. There were many animals to see on every game drive, and the guides shared their knowledge about the animals and were able to track down the Big 5. The service at the lodging was excellent, the rooms were clean, had hot water, outlet, bug net, etc. The food was also amazing. The operators were quick to reply to questions. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Kruger for the first time.

Great experience booking with Kruger Safari Co.
Had a great experience booking with Kruger Safari Co. Wayne was responsive with messages, providing quotes and putting my concerns at ease. Communication was always timely and informative and I felt very comfortable booking my first safari experience with this company.

Fantastic communication throughout, perfect planning, always helped with organizing the trip.
Wayne from The Kruger Safari took care of our booking for one of the greatest Safari experiences out there. We didn’t know where to start so the tour operator offered an overview of different packages.
We went to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, and this was the perfect choice. Our booked Lodge, the Umkumbe Bush Lodge was just fantastic, everyone took care of us so well, the game drives were just breathtaking and we‘ve seen so many different animals. If you can afford, book a trip through these guys for a trip to the Sabi Sands.

Thank you fore your review and traveling with us.
Wayne always makes sure that he offers the best suited safari to all of our travelers, as he knows that for some guests it is a once in a life time experience.
Umkumbe in the Sabi Sands is one of our top selling lodges, due to the amazing views and off road BIG 5 safari drives.
We hope to see you back in Sabi Sands with us in the near future

Helpful, responsive, and timely...and our safari turned out great!
I was able to find the 'just right' fit for my wife and I, both time- and cost-wise. We received excellent communications throughout from exploring options, booking and paying, and being supported even in the midst of the drive out from Johannesburg to assure us everything was on-track. We also received a message midway into our experience to ask how it was going.
Bonus included solid recommendations for enroute hotels and helping us to book an excellent full-day tour of Johannesburg after the safari.
I was uncertain, booking 'blind', but Wayne and his crew took great care of us all the way through our experience. Thanks!

The most wonderful & helpful tour company that exceeded our special request needs and expectations
The Kruger Safari Co is truly one of the best tour companies I have encountered. My family required special assistance with partial wheelchair accessibility needs for our visit to Kruger and Wayne was not only extremely responsive and professional, but went above and beyond in ensuring me and my family would be comfortable and well taken cared of. From zoom sessions to personal videos of lodge grounds to determine wheelchair accessibility would be sufficient, I could not be more happy with Wayne and Kruger Safari Co. I will be recommending them to all friends and family for future trips!

Simple to work with and responsive
I reached out to Kruger Safari Co. a couple week ahead of wanting to go on a trip. They were very responsive and we set up a zoom call to review my options. Because I was going to safari as a solo traveler, it can be difficult to find lodges (since many don’t want to take a single person). They contacted lodges and found one that fit all of my criteria and was within the price range that I provided. Would work with them again!

Posted on Apr 29, 2023Good Day Victoria,
Your review is greatly appreciated.
We do read all of our travelers reviews to make sure that we are offer the best safari experiences in South Africa.
Our zoom calls are certainly the way of the future in communicating with travelers, it gives us time to get to know our clients in person, rather than over emails.
Once we have all the details from our travelers, we get working on looking and finding the best safari experience that suits the travelers needs and we are glad that Wayne got yours 100% correct.
We looking forward to having you back on safari with us.
