Reviews
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.

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!

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!

Wonderful however would have been the best if the pools were heated in the villas
*Dear Wayne,*
I am writing to extend my sincerest gratitude for the extraordinary service and support you provided in orchestrating our recent honeymoon safari. Your impeccable attention to detail and seamless assistance transformed a simple idea into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
From the moment of our initial five-minute call, your team exhibited unparalleled professionalism and efficiency. Within a single day, you curated a meticulously planned three-day adventure, embodying everything we envisioned and more.
Each aspect of the journey was perfectly executed, from the luxurious accommodations to the breathtaking safari excursions. Your careful consideration of our preferences ensured that every moment was extraordinary, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the splendour of the wilderness without any concern or stress.
A special thanks is owed to Mr. Eleck and his colleague for their exceptional attention to detail and for providing us with an amazing experience during the safari. Their expert guidance and profound knowledge allowed us to explore, understand, and personally witness the majestic Big Five in an intimate and unforgettable manner.
This exceptional service has not only created unforgettable memories but has also set a new standard for excellence in travel planning. We are immensely grateful for your dedication and expertise, and we look forward to many more journeys with your esteemed company.
Thank you once again for making our honeymoon an unparalleled and truly magical experience.
Amazing value for money.
Yours faithfully,
Omar & Hadeel

Smooth sailing from start to finish
Of course we loved our first safari experience because of the animals - the adventure and the fact that it felt like we were entering a different world. But we also felt very lucky having found a tour operator we could 100% rely on. From our first inquiry until after our trip we were personally kept informed and updated about everything we needed to know which gave us a great sense of calm on our long and exciting journey including flights within SA. Everything went smoothly and we would gladly book with them again.

Great customer service, easy booking, fast replies and of course awesome safari options
Everything is already said in the title ;-)
Even though we had some changes of plans and a lot of questions before deciding for one of the safari options the communication via E-Mail was always easy and the replies were almost immediate.
In the end we stayed at the Greenfire Lodge and enjoyed every second of it!
Big thanks from Austria!

Near perfect
Lovely safari for my partner, grown up daughter and me. We saw many animals - including the ‘big five’ - and the staff were really helpful and friendly. The tents were just as I expected and they accommodated my vegan requirements.
All fantastic and I will definitely be recommending the package to friends. Excellent budget option.

Extremely helpful and reliable!
We worked with Wayne to book our first ever African safari and he did not disappoint! He was very helpful and patient throughout the entire process and even gave us personal recommendations and suggestions that helped us in planning our trip. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to book a safari in the Kruger area!

Outstanding!
The lodge was really nice and the staff were wonderful. Our Safari guide took great care of us and went out of his way to show us the wildlife. We got to see all 5 of the big 5. The drives were still fun and good for photos and sight seeing in between animal sightings which you have to be patient for. Another bonus was the food! Gourmet at every meal. Our teenage daughters had a blast as well.
