Excelent service and quality of the stay and tours inside Kruger
After a detailed search we choosed Elephant Herd because of the opportunity of interaction with elephants at "Elephant Whispers". We saw pictures of the lodge which had great quality and the best of all, were the private tour into Kruger with one of the best guides we ever meet: Bhekifa Ngomane

Best possible safari experience
My friend and I contacted elephant herd to plan a 5 day safari trip with only about 4 weeks of notice. We specifically requested a quote from elephant herd because they limit occupants in the safari vehicle to 6. As it turns out this matters quite a bit in how easy it is to photograph animals and how quickly you can move through the park. If you’re considering a safari with greater than 6 I would advise against it.
Every human interaction I had from the time of requesting the quote was phenomenal. Brendon planned and arranged everything for us, including van transfers from JNB and back, and he gave us a taste of both Kruger National Park and a private reserve called Karongwe which is a few hours north of Hazyview. Brendon even took us to and from dinner both nights we were in Hazyview. Our safari experience in Kruger was perfect. We did a sunset safari on our first evening , followed by a full day safari the next day, and a super epic morning safari on our third day. We were fortunate enough to have Keegan as our guide on the 6 person full day safari. That was so enjoyable that we requested him as our guide for the morning safari with only my friend and I in the truck. So we basically ended up with a private safari for 5 hours, during which we saw all the big 5, plus a honey badger, plus a rare glimpse of wild dogs getting chased away from a kill by a lion! And this is during a time of year (November) when it’s typically more difficult to spot wildlife. Keegan has a wealth of knowledge about the animals and plants in Kruger which was both interesting and helpful in locating the animals we wanted to see. I would absolutely recommend Elephant Herd for safari bookings based on the quality of the safari experience and the high level of customer service. Many thanks to Brendon, Keegan, and Big Ray!

The tour was fun and very well organized, I would definitively hire them again.
The tour was excellent. It was on time for the two days. We got lots of information from the tour guy, Smiley (his name). The guide was very fun, helpful and polite. In addition, we always felt safe during the whole time.
It was properly schedule and executed by the minute. Pickup and drop off on time, stops for lunch, etc.
I would definitely hire them again. We were a group of 5 adults family members.

Incredible
Did Kruger national park with my family of 8 and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Elephant herd tours & safaris was extremely informative, accommodating and welcoming. Bev went completely out of her way in every way to make us feel comfortable. Truly amazing experience and highly recommend.

Totally professional, so well organised, prepared to go above and beyond to make our safari perfect.
We had the time of our lives on our 7 day safari. Both lodges, Zarafa and Tomo were beautiful, superb accommodation choices. The staff there were always friendly and welcoming. Meals were delicious. We saw so much wildlife in Kruger NP, and also at Balule. Trevor was a fun, interesting, informative tour guide while staying at Zarafa. Gareth, our guide in Tomo, kept us comfortable with his service, and did a great job tracking the wildlife for us. Amazing job done by Bev putting together such great itinerary. I highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris!

Great tour operator with a clear & detailed communication throughout and great overall experience
Bev and team were very helpful and very easy to reach to. We were given a very clear itinerary and quote from the start, and it was true to original for the whole experience. They chose a very nice hotel. The safari experience was great. Also solid communication with the team throughout the process.

Trip of a lifetime!
We got to see all of the big 5 animals with our guide in Kruger, who was dedicated to finding amazing animal encounters. We had several experiences where it was just us and maybe one other car because our guide spotted the animals or got us to the location where an animal was spotted quickly. Everything was prompt and professional. Communication was great. Highly recommend!
