Kruger National Park Safari

This truly was a South Africa highlights tour. We saw the big 5 in Kruger, whales at Hermanus, penguins, coastline, Table Mountain.....the list is endless. We had an amazing guide, Tshepo, who was a fount of knowledge, always helpful and in a good humour. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Kruger National Park was absolutely awesome. We were near the end of the dry season, so everything was dusty, but animals were everywhere. We literally saw thousands of Impalas, hundreds of Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, and many, many Lions, Water buffalo, elands, Kudus, Hippos, plus lots more. We took in all of the excursion extras, and were very pleased. Our group of 4 would give this trip a Thumbs-Up. Accommodations were pleasant, guides were great, and safari equipment was in great condition.

I highly highly recommend this tour. South Africa was always a dream destination for me, and this trip made that dream come true in a big way, especially thanks to our guide, Eddie. We toured and learned the history of Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula (do this excursion!), had wine in Stellenbosch, watched whales at sunrise in Hermanus, explored the heavenly Tsitsikamma National Park, and were lucky enough to see the Big Five in one day in Kruger National Park.

I always booked my tours with expatexplore and this South Africa trip( 13 days) was one the best! Our tour guide Willem( our Mr. Expect the Unexpected) was indeed the most valuable tour guide in expat. Full of awesomeness! The Safari in Johannesburg was the highlight. I called it magical and PRICELESS! The hotels are all beautiful and the lodge and the village inn are all pretty and unique. Overall, this tour is worth the experience! Not to mention all those wine tastings! Who will not get tipsy??? You've got to do this!!

We are extremely happy with Paul and the places we have seen. He is very flexible with our needs and handles them deftly. We could not be more happy with him.

A full on trip which maximised our time in South Africa. A really good balance of cultural insights, scenery and wildlife. This wouldn't have been possible without our super guide Christian. He knew how to keep us safe, was resolutely positive and energetic, and made the trip. There was a lot of driving which we knew about when we booked. If we had more annual leave available, we would have booked an extra night in Capetown at the end. This would have enabled us to book both a Robben Island excursion, and a Cape of Good Hope trip. We are very glad that we booked this trip.
