Organized and fun!
From pick up to drop off and ALL the fun safaris, our package was most excellent! Friendly knowledgeable guides, wonderful food and great set up.
Areas of improvement. WATER needs to be free and readily available. Incorporate it into the price but make it available. Currently sold at the bar by the bottle.
Screens should be added to windows as 'load sharing' ie. electricity shut offs happen both during the day and knight and if you open your windows and doors you get all the local bugs and monkeys. FYI/ rolling blackouts happen ALL ACROSS South Africa and are NOT unique or controlled by The Kruger SaFari Co. This is a statewide issue.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It's a fantastic experience for all!

Posted on Feb 20, 2023Hi there Lysa,
Thank you for your review. It is appreciated.
We are looking into providing bottled water per person on our safari drives and is something that we want to get arranged as soon as possible with our providers.
Yes the Loadshedding / power outages is certainly not something we as a country are proud of and with the unpredictability on it, it is rather tough for the lodges to make choices on what add ones to the lodge, need to be made to make sure that all guests are comfortable.
A large number of the lodges are looking on moving towards solar power to help with air-cons (Keeping the bugs away) and the monkeys... well i guess we are in their "home" so need to respect that we are in their homestead.
We are glad that we offered you a great safari and hoping that in the coming months we can address the items you have mentioned and offer you an even better safari next time.

Good organised tour operator with nice people
It was good 4 day organised tour. They picked me up in Johannesburg, brought me to Tremisana lodge. Nice tours in the wildernes. The braai in the evening in the dark in the middle of it was a great experience. Except for the bugs. But you are in the wildernes so you can't denie them. We had a great tour in greater kruger. We did see a lot of animals.
Marc's camp was also nice. Friendly people and the food was good. We had to walk a path to go to the tents or treahouses. There you could walk into a lot of animals. (we only walked into monkey's, nyala's and a buffelo). But if you leave them and let them do there thing it is oke. In the dark it's a little scary, (you don't know what you will see) but the guards were very nearby.
I didn't go to the toilets in the night. The toilets were outside and i had to cross over to go to them. The paths were all lighted bij lamps but during a loadshedding it is pitchdark. The bushwalks in the morning were very nice and i learned a lot about the bush. Thanks to Shane
They kindly brought me home to the place where i stayed in Johannesburg.
Overal it was a amazing holiday to remember.

Wayne took care of every last detail providing us with a superior experience in every way
We had the most incredible experience with Wayne and The Kruger Safari Co. from start to finish. Wayne was very responsive, answering any questions and arranged flawless logistics—from the moment we arrived to the day we left. There were people arranged to meet us and take care of us every step of the way taking the worry out of being in a different country. Our safaris and lodging were superb from Greenfire lodge to Kapama Karula Lodge which was over the top amazing. Our guides in both places were fantastic and very knowledgeable, packing our drives with amazing sightings. The lodges, staff and food were all wonderful.
Highly recommend Wayne and The Kruger Safari Co, we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure!

From First-Timers to Happy Travelers – Zero Hiccups
This was our first safari and our first time visiting South Africa, and choosing The Kruger Safari Co. turned out to be the best decision we made.
From the very first introductory video call, Wayne came across as warm, professional, and completely transparent about every aspect of the trip. He patiently answered all our questions before booking—always promptly and in detail—which really helped put us at ease.
Once the trip began, everything was perfectly coordinated. We didn’t experience a single hiccup along the way, which made a huge difference as first-time visitors. It gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to just relax and enjoy the entire experience.
I would advise all my family and friends to book with Wayne from The Kruger Safari Co. without a doubt and definitly use it personally again.
We would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if it’s your first time visiting—book with confidence!

Exceptional once in a lifetime experience
We probably will only have one chance to visit South Africa in our lifetime. We are glad we had The Kruger Safari Company and Wayne along the way. From the time we landed to the time we left, every detail was accounted for. The lodges we stayed at were much more than we expected. The staff, the accommodations, and the guides were exceptional. If we are ever lucky enough to return, The Kruger Safari Company is the first call we will make. The value was much more than we expected and our experience had such an impact that we count this trip as our best. If we had any questions, Wayne was always quick to respond. Don't be disappointed with another company and use this company to arrange your trip. You won't regret it.

Professional and attention to detail.
We are a group of 4 couples that just returned from the most amazing safari orchestrated by Wayne Barnes of the Kruger Safari Company. The itinerary that Wayne put together was perfect from the lodges we stayed in to the game drives, food, transport and overall hospitality. Everything was so well executed to the smallest detail. Wayne even added a side trip to Victoria Falls even though it wasn’t within his normal area of expertise. If you are looking for a truly life changing trip, I highly recommend reaching out to Wayne to plan it for you. You will not be disappointed!

Safari luxury in Kruger.
From the first inquiry and received response I felt that this will be excellent. The proposal for our 4 Day Classic Chalet Safari was very detailed and it was easily updated according to our changes in flight schedules.
Our plan was to be on a game drive as much as possible. Arriving in the afternoon and leaving before noon, this tour included remarkable one evening drive, two full-day drives and one morning drive.
Our guide was very professional and the crew spoiled us especially with the dinners. And sure that everyone can find a suitable accommodation.
We will always remember this tour and it was definitely worth every Euro (or Rand)! 🇿🇦🥰

Wayne is helpful, knowledgeable, organised and a good communicator.
Prior to our trip, we had limited knowledge of what to expect when visiting Kruger National Park. As the park is so vast, planning a trip felt daunting and expensive. The Kruger Safari Co. put our minds at ease and made everything incredibly easy for us. Everything was extremely well organised - from the flights to the transfers to and from the airport, the meals, and even the packed lunches for our safaris.
We highly recommend using The Kruger Safari Co. They are professional, friendly, and reliable.
