Norman was outstanding to coordinate the trip with due to his flexibility and prompt responses.
Norman was great at accommodating my travel and payment requests. Khongi was the driver assigned to my trip. He was a friendly and outgoing personality which made him easy to talk to. He expertly navigated the many potholes on the Panorama Route. I felt safe with his driving the entire trip.
The Kruger Gate Hotel was amazing as was the safari at Kruger National Park. The safari was a new experience, and I therefore had a lot of questions. All of the tour operators were patient to ensure I was comfortable. I did the full day safari which included two breaks. One in the morning and one for lunch.
The Panorama Route was a long trip back to Johannesburg. We made two stops. One at the Lisbon Falls and the second at the Blyde River Canyon (includes the Three Rondavels). The weather wasn't great but we managed to see the sites despite the rain and clouds. Beware that this route doubled the amount of time to drive back to Johannesburg.
Overall, Nhlalala Travel was a lovely group to work with.

The Best experience I have ever had, and impossible without them.
Coming to South Africa for the first time with my partner, we were overwhelmed by the short stay and the amount of activities to potentially do. However, the team at Nhlalala travel made this process seamless, from organizing, coordinating and providing a sense of safety, comfort and excitement, that I can truly say resulted in the best trip I have ever had hands down.
Our guide Khongi, was one of a kind. An amazing soul that was extremely knowledgeable about all things South Africa. From the moment we landed at Johannesburg, our journey to Kruger National Park was filled with history and great music. Every step of the 6 hr trip up was filled with interesting cultural facts and we were lucky to have Khongi as our guide on the way there. Additionally, the check in process at Kruger, helping us navigate the safari pick up times, guides as well as just ensuring every day we were well looked after, Khongi went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this company based purely on how much care is put into every client’s trip.
Once we returned from Kruger, the Panoramic view on the way back was one of a kind. We stopped at the best locations and had an amazing time, at the many markets and view points. Khongi’s knowledge of the area meant we stopped at the best locations for sightseeing and meals.
In Johannesburg, the tour of the city which can be highly overwhelming for first time visitors, was made easy, our guide along with Khongi, took us on an incredible journey through the heart of Soweto, through the heart of the townships, explaining at every step the history behind what we are seeing but also the positive changes that are taking place. The real sense of South African pride was evident, and without Nhlalala, I can confidently say that we would not have been able to experience Johannesburg in such spectacular fashion.

UNFORGETABLE
We booked online from Brazil and were a little concerned at first since none of our agents here knew the company. They went to Joburg airport to fetch us upon our arrival and since then we were so well cared and pampered all the travel long.
Our guide, Norman, made every day a special day - always patient with my kids, eager to show us places and tell stories. We not only recommend the services but also consider them part of our family.
Can't wait to travel to SA again.

Best Tour Operator
We really enjoyed our safari trip and stayed at Sabi River Sun that organised by Norman from Nhlala Travel. Norman provided the best services, making sure we were being looked after. And the private travel from Tambo Airport to Sabi River Sun is a big plus!! I would recommend anyone that needs to book their safari trip at Kruger Park to book with Norman. The price is affordable, the tour is amazing and the operator is very realible - 5stars.

Helpful, reliable, trustworthy
We booked 3 safaris at pilanesburg for 2 days. It was very convenient that the tour guide met us at our residence at johanesburg and drove us to Pilanesburg. The safari experience was very good and the safari tour guide made an effort to see as many animals as we could. Accomodation was in a good distance and the hotel room was comfortable. The tour guide was helpful and reliable solving any problems we encountered. I would recommend this tour for a good safari experience.

Great experience
Our trip was perfect. We did one full day, one sunrise and one sunset safari and that was plenty for us. Our guides were able to help us see everything except for cheetahs but we got the Big 5 no problem. We also did the panorama route which is definitely worth doing if you are thinking about it. Our drivers were all very timely and took appropriate breaks along the way so we could get snacks and drinks. All around a great experience. The Kruger Gate hotel is lovely and has everything you need and we were even able to see some animals at the hotel.

Excellent Best of Kruger 4 Day Safari
I did the 4 Day Best of Kruger Safari and stayed at the Kruger Gate hotel.
Great experience all around: Norman was my contact person at Nhlalala before arrival and was very responsive and helpful. My actual guide for the 4 days, Konge, was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized: he worked with the hotel and the Kruger safari guides to make sure everything went smoothly.
The 4 day experience allowed me to do several game drives within Kruger National Park and to do the scenic Panorama Route day trip.
Kruger Gate Hotel was excellent.
