Transfer to and from airport was seemless
Overall accommodations were amazing. Rooms were like a Waldorf. Safari was great as well.

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.

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

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.

The Kruger Safari Co. and Wayne in particular was just the very best choice I could have made!
Since my very first inquiry about the safari tour, Wayne was very communicative and accommodating to every one of our requests. He would reply to my e-mails within the hour, always answering to all my questions. It made me feel very well taken care of since the beginning.
The tour itself also went exactly as described. All parties, be it transfer to the park, the people that worked at the lodge, the safaris and the panorama tour, were all very professional and very friendly. We felt very welcomed and safe. And throughout the whole time, Wayne was there, on the other side of my e-mail or WhatsApp, keeping an eye on us, making sure that we were having a good time.
I couldn't be happier with my choice. I can only recommend The Kruger Safari Co. and if I'm ever back in South Africa, Wayne will be the first person I'll contact.
Thanks a lot Wayne! we had an amazing time in Kruger and all thanks to you.

Thoughtful
The experience was really great! The tents were very comfortable and we felt very safe at all times. There was always plenty and delicious food. I would totally recommend it to anyone. The tour guides tried very hard and succeeded in showing us the animals we wanted to see. They made a big effort for us to be well taken care of and happy.

They are an amazing crew, very welcoming and courteous.
From the planning of the trip to the actual safari, we had an amazing experience. We stayed for 3 nights at Pretoriuskop. Sleeping in the tents was very comfortable and the food was excellent. During the game drives we saw a lot of animals from quite close. We can also recommend the Panorama Tour (the landscape there is amazing). The tour was operated by staff from Mbombela Tours Netto, My Lord, Trevor and others. Due to their excellent service, we enjoyed the tour very much.

Absolutely Fantastic!! Great service,value and communication. Will use again for our next safari.
We booked with the Kruger Safari Co for part of our honeymoon and the entire experience was fantastic. Right from the point at which we asked for a quotation Wayne was very responsive and recommended the best packages for us based in our available time and desired experience even if they were not the most expensive on offer.
In the week leading up to our safari the Kruger Safari Co reached out to check we were all set and she any questions we had including confirming our dietary requirements with the camp and pick up details for our transfer. Everything ran very smoothly and we trolley have an unforgettable experience (seeing the big 5 multiple times in our drives).
Will definitely use Wayne and his team again when we return for another safari.
