As Advertised! The Trip of a Lifetime!
What a wonderful experience from start to finish including the pick-up at the Tambo airport bus terminal and the drop off at our hotel door four days later! Quite a ride to Kruger through the mountains and orange groves. We had no real idea about how far or how long (over 7 hours) it would take having booked everything on line. Suggest others might consider flying from Johannesburg. But the scenery was beautiful, the van comfortable, and the driver excellent.
We arrived at the HoyoHoyo lodging and were off on a game drive 30 minutes later! Our guide for the entire experience, Marc Jenkins, was outstanding. Knowledgeable, considerate and personable! We saw the big five and so many more.
We loved the daily schedule: Three hour game drive at dawn with breakfast after, and another drive as the sun set followed by dinner. It got a bit chilly as it was winter, but blankets, ponchos and even hot water bottles were provided. There was a break during each drive with cocoa or coffee with snacks in the morning and wine or soft drinks, again with snacks in the evening to watch the sun set often with animals cruising by. Just amazing.
HoyoHoyo was incredible. The accommodations in six individual hut-like structures, each a with king-size bed, stone tub, towel service whenever you departed, loads of hot water, even a bedtime story bookmark were fantastic. And then there was the food! Menus were provided for lunch and dinner with plenty of delicious (and often exotic) choices. The wine was excellent. My favorite meal was breakfast. Across from the outdoor dining area was a watering hole. The first night a leopard dropped by. But breakfast visitors were the best—elephant families, herds of impala, baboons galore, and on and on! But probably, the most significant factor of all was the friendliness of the HoyoHoyo staff—everyone had a smile and a word to say. They even knew everyone’s name.
I cannot say enough about this entire adventure. We booked it with crossed fingers from halfway around the world, Honolulu. I would recommend Wayne and The Kruger Safari Company without any hesitation. Wayne was quick to respond to my questions, kept us informed, and certainly planned the trip of a life time for us. Mahalo nui loa and aloha!

Economical but very comfortable safari! Unique experience!
From booking with the operator Wayne, to returning to my home they were attentive and offered the best service. The accommodation was incredible! Dinner and breakfast with diverse options and very friendly staff, with the exception of some who always seemed tired! The chalet facilities are very comfortable, new towels, adequate bedding and heaters in the rooms. The experience was really worth it! Thank you for your attention!

easy, convenient and friendly
booking with The Kruger Safari Co. was easy and straightforward, we paid a price it was absolut worth it and everthing was as we expected, we would be happy to book again another time
Unreal - great service, great price
We used The Kruger Safari Co. for a three day getaway with Greenfire Lodge. From the start, the service and communication regarding our booking was fantastic. Wayne (from TKSC), provided clear and timely updates, and organised all the extras (transfers, pick ups etc).
Even a slight hiccup with another service provider was swiftly dealt with by Wayne, which was extremely helpful as a foreigner.
Greenfire Lodge itself was unreal- amazing service, clean and comfortable accommodation, and knowledgeable safari guides.
I’ll definitely be back for another trip with TKSC and Greenfire.

Five-star service by The Safari Co
Our experience in the Kruger park was definitely a good one only because of The Safari Co. My girlfriend didn't feel well when we had to go, and we made a lot of requirements to the company. The help us to solve every issue, even allowed us to change both the days of arrival and departure. Apart from that, the camp is awesome and the safaris are an awesome experience. I strongly recommend this company.

Extraordinary service
Our first safari experience was amazing thanks to The Kruger Safari Co. I was feeling bad of my stomach and Wayne allowed us to change the dates of arrival and departure.
Once in the camp, our host Muzi was extremely attentive with us. He replied to all our requirements, he even cooked a different meal for me due to my stomach issues.
The camp is perfectly prepared, the tents are comfortable with electric blankets to keep you warm during the night, you can find a shop, restaurant and even a pretol station inside.
I would definitely recommend Wayne and his team to everyone who wants to enjoy a safari experience! Thank you very much!

Excellent with correspondence and made certain everything went as planned.
My wife and I recently returned from one of the best safari experience at Kruger. We have been to many safari’s throughout Africa and our goal of seeing all the Big Five was achieved in our four day trip.
Booking and working with Wayne was pleasant and he made sure that our expectations were met. Everything from pickup to drop off was excellent. Accommodations were excellent and the tour guides very knowledgeable as well. Thank you Wayne for assisting us with the booking and allowing us to have such a memorable trip.

Amazing Luxurious Safari experience
Wow wow wow. We ticked ✅ our bucket list safari adventure in the greatest of style where everything was perfect from booking the safari to be dropped off back to Joburg. Kruger Safari co did a great job and Wayne kept us across every detail. We so much appreciated the mix of personal touch and professionalism to ensure we had a great time. Kapama Buffalo Camp is ultra luxurious with gourmet meals and endless drinks. The team behind such a positive- once in a lifetime experience needs to be congratulated and we thank Wayne, his team at Kruger Safari co and the team at Kapama. We saw 4 out of the Top 5 in Kruger and that was duck a buzz. It’s hard to get a honest, reliable and professional Safari company in South Africa but in Kruger Safari co we found a personal touch along with a level of commitment and professionalism that you can’t find these days. We would recommend this Safari co to anyone who wants to experience a great Safari experience in South Africa. Well done Wayne and Kruger Safari Co and team. Thank you for fulfilling our lifelong dream that we experienced in luxury and style.

Amazing! Everything about this experience is 10/10
My partner and I came here for our honeymoon and it was the best experience. The safari itself was out of this world and we saw so many animals and seeing them in their natural habitat is unreal. The guides were knowledgable and friendly and always made us feel safe.
Aside from the safari, the service is 10/10. Everyone is so friendly and always looking to help in any way. If you’re debating what experience to choose, the river lodge at Kapama is the one! Will definitely be returning 🙌🏼
