Safari of a lifetime
I took my daughters on a 4 day classic camping safari to the Kruger Park.
We booked with Wayne at The Kruger safari Co. They booked the transport, game drives, meals and tented accommodation. Having 2 teenage ladies with me I thought the camping would be below standard, but the camp was amazing. Mylord our guide was super cool and even braaied for us in the evening.
Proud to be a South African with the service we got.

Wayne and his team to the rescue
We are camping at Punda Maria and were cought in a cloud burst. Our caravan tent started to flood. I grabbed my phone and went onto google ( as we all do) and whatsapp the first number that I saw.
Even though we did not book through Kruger Safari, they helped me within a second and got me sorted. I will definitely recommend Wayne and his team THANK you for keeping us safe on your watch

TIME OF MY LIFE
Wayne booked us onto a 4 day Under the canvas safari in the Sabi Sands. The Umkumbe Bush Lodge was INCREDIBLE. The safari drives…. LIONS eating buffalo, Leopard in a tree sleeping, Buffalo on every safari drive, Elephants in the river right in front of the lodge that we saw from our room.
AMAZING… service from the emails to service at the lodge whilst on safari was OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Fantastic
Awesome safari
I booked a safari for myself and my partner to the Kapama River Lodge. It was amazing, we had a super time. Wayne from Kruger Safari Co arranged it all, the pick up at Johannesburg was on time. The safari drives were amazing. We saw the big 5 in 2 days. Accommodation was amazing, food was great, staff at the lodge go out of their way to make you feel at home.
We will be coming back in 2023…

Posted on Feb 13, 2023Hi there there Renish,
Thank you for your review, we do appreciate it. Kapama River lodge offers some of the best game viewing the Kruger National park and glad that it lived up to your expectations.
Bug 5 in 2 days, think i should have joined you on that safari, as it sounds like you had an amazing time.
See you soon back on safari with The Kruger Safari CO.

Fantastic and very helpful
Hoyo Hoyo Lodge
We had a good time on safari at the Hoyo Hoyo Lodge, the accommodation is well worth the money paid. Guide was amazing and the booking procedure from the office (we booked with Wayne) was quick and easy.
We will be back to find the Leopard that we missed on this safari, but we will be back in 2024 to find it.

Great service. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with The Kruger Safari Co. Communication was very good at all times and they offered guidance and good advices. They were very flexible and arranged some changes to our planning like including the Panorama Route (which we really enjoyed!).
Upon their recommendation, we chose the option with accomodation inside the park, which was fantastic as we would see animals even at the gate of the camp site (i.e. no long drives needed to get to the park so we made the best out of our time). The tents were comfy and the food was really good.
And finally our guide was absolutely the best. Mylord was friendly, funny and very professional. He knew every corner of the park and was able to spot all animals at a glance. Everywhere we went he knew all the people around, which says a lot about him. Mylord really made our experience special. A huge thank you to him!

Posted on Nov 25, 2022Hi there Paloma,
We are glad that you had a great time on safari and that our recommendation for staying inside the national park on our Classic Camping safari, was the right offer for you.
It is an amazing tour, with the home cooked meal, time around the fire in the evening with your guide and of course the early start and right in the bush safari drives.
Mylord is an incredible guide, his knowledge of the National park is OUT OF THIS WORLD. And yes everyone knows him.
Thank you for traveling with us and was a pleasure having you on safari with us.

Great experience, super accommodating.
We booked a 3 day safari very last minute after finishing a work assignment in the area. While our original lodge wasn’t available, Wayne and his team found us an arguably even better place to stay. We loved it so much we extended our trip by a few days and ended up with 5 days in the bush. Saw all the Big 5 within 2 game drives and had the most incredible experience. Transfers to and from JBurg were seamless and cannot recommend Wayne and his team enough; they were so accommodating when we extended our trip at the 11th hr. Highly recommend and will be sending my friends and family their way!!!

The entire Hoyo Hoyo Lodge staff are top notch.
This was quite possibly the best vacation we have ever taken. Every the about Hoyo Hoyo - the lodge staff, our tour guide Matt, the location with view of the wild animal water hole, etc. - was as good as we could've possibly hoped for. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience. Everything about it was excellent !
