Unforgettable Safari Adventure: Perfect Mix of Luxury and Authenticity
Our 5-day safari trip was absolutely incredible, thanks to the excellent planning by Kruger Safari Co. We stayed two nights at Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge and two nights at Umkumbe Safari Lodge, both offering unique experiences. The drive from Johannesburg was long but scenic, setting the tone for our adventure.
Hoyo Hoyo exceeded all expectations. The service was impeccable, the staff extremely kind and attentive. With spotless grounds and a waterhole right in front of the dining area, we had the privilege of watching wildlife up close during meals. The game drives with Victor were fantastic, and we saw a variety of animals, including elephants, zebras, giraffes, and even leopards.
Umkumbe Safari Lodge had a more family-friendly atmosphere. The highlight here was our guide, Jessica, who was so knowledgeable and ensured we saw most of the Big Five, except for lions. The lodge wasn’t as luxurious as Hoyo Hoyo, and the food options were somewhat limited, but the location right by the river more than made up for it. The bush walk was a great experience.
A special thanks to Wayne from Kruger Safari Co. who handled everything so smoothly, even accommodating a last-minute change in plans. We’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

The tour operators are very kind and considerate.
We were very impressed on our tour. Everything was organized very well so we had no complications. Grace was amazing helping us plan our trip as well as staying in touch through the trip. Our guide Peter was FANTASTIC. He was quick to spot wildlife, and always gave us the best views/ photo opportunities. We even saw 3 lion cubs! Over all there is nothing I would change about this trip!

Professional and friendly operator
I initially chose this after seeing the course I wanted and the reasonable price. In spite of the fact that it may be troublesome, operator manager Lulu always replied about my detail questions by e-mail from few month ago friendly. So I was sure that I chose Ngekewa well.
The safari tour also perfect and I couldn't forget until the day I die. On the second day of the schedule, the guide changed from Barik to Mali, but everyone was professional and friendly. My couple was able to make so many memories by spending 5 nights 6 days with people of various countries. Not only we saw big 5 but we had unforgetable memories like a lot of night stars, the endless plane, sleeping with sounds of lions and hyenas, observing zebras around accommodation and fantastic beer with safari. All of this was really dreamy memories.
Thank you to my 'rafiki's for making fantastic memories. I miss you all!!
P.S. Thanks to Mali, I have a really rare experience, so Lulu seems to have to raise Mali's salary!😁😁

Amazing trip around Rwanda thanks to our driver Eric,
We did chimpanzee trekking at Nyungwe Park, stayed at Lake Kivu and then wdnt on to do gorilla trekking at Volcano National Park.
Eric, our driver from Cheli and Peacock safaris was our driver . He picked us up at the airport in Kigali, spent 8 days with us driving us around, every day on time for pick ups. Didn’t mind to change plans for a later pick up or stop for us at a market along the way or for a coffee. He was so professional, but such great company to have in the car and very knowledgeable regarding all our questions. But could also enjoy a good laugh!
We met as strangers and left as friends.

Wonderful experience! Kush knows everything about animals here, and explained to us in easy English.
Also he was trying hard to show us rare animals here, we were really happy to be a member of this party.

Extremely knowledgeable and knew his way around the country extremely well.
Our trip was fantastic and we will remember it forever. Our driver Eric was extremely knowledgeable both in getting around the country and knowing the parks in and out. This made our travel and experience exciting , enjoyable, and convenient. Our experience felt like we were in National Geographic documentary and the our guide was instrumental to that.
