EXCEPTIONAL TRIP, not to be missed Fantastic door to door service We had an early pick up from our hotel in a comfortable car as far as Kruger gate where we transferred to a safari truck. Our park guide, Doctor, had an encyclopedic knowledge of the park flora and forna. We were so impressed by him, he could even make the right animal noises to bring them back in to sight if they had disappeared in to the bush. The overnight lodge was a beautiful building. It’s worth staying up a while on your balcony to spot bush babies and listen to the roaring hippos.
Thank-you for your informative review! We're so glad you had a special experience and we've passed on your praise to Doctor!
Great time at Kruger National Park ! Picked up from Maputo by Charles, a great professional driver and aided in the crossing of the border in South Africa. Total trip time to Kruger was roughly 3 hours including passport control. From there I was met by Doctor, my guide for two days who over the two days shared great insight into all of the animals we managed to spot, including all of the big 5! Two full days out exploring, including lunch for both days. For the overnight stay l was hosted in Crocodile Kruger Safari lodge, a lodge down the river with river views in Marloth Park, nice cosy and quiet lodge with dinner included. Overall a perfect two days and would definitely recommend this trip and Maputo tours if in the region! Many thanks !
Many thanks for taking the time to write a descriptive review. We are very happy that you had a memorable experience!
We made a tour with the company and we picked up the Alfainho driver, we loved the company, super punctual and polite. He took us to the safari and also to Eswatini with a lot of peace and we explained a lot.
The transfer Alfainho, was amazing support us all the way. Very nice, educated and very helpfull. The guide Mike had a good knowledge of the wild life but passed a lot of times in the same roads and we saw the same animals. The lodge for the Staying was good, nice food, good rooms and view for the Krüger park. Overall a very good experience that we recomende.
Thank-you for your review Nelson. And it's unfortunate that so many of the roads in Kruger are still closed due to the January/February floods. Our guides are indeed restricted at the moment on what roads they can take. We are expecting most roads will be reopen in the south of the park by April. The north is still experiencing floods and some Rest Camps are still closed.
Great tour. Always and responsive organization.
Would highly recommend this two-day trip of Kruger National Park from Maputo. Everything from pick-up at our Airbnb in Maputo to crossing the border and exploring the park went extremely smoothly. Our driver, Alfainho, was professional and kind. Our guide, Mercy, was extremely personable and has > 8 years as a Kruger park ranger and tour guide and drove safely around the park, helping us spot lions, a leopard, and countless other animals. She introduced to South African food as well as told us stories about her past experience as a ranger. Food and drink at all stops were paid for and made for well-timed breaks. Would definitely choose this group again next time I return to Kruger.
Very well organized program! Punctuality and cordiality of guides! Absolutely fantastic safari with very attentive guide, knowledgeable animal life and an excellent communicator. The hotel where we stayed was also very nice and well integrated in the space around the park. The meals were also well served and very delicious! Finally, of course, these are 2 intense and exhausting days but that are very well worth it!
My friend and I booked this trip, at first individually, and the host was nice enough to advise us to book together for a better price. We canceled one booking and added a person to the second for a few hundred dollars more and then also paid $40 per person in cash to the driver. Rather than about $900 a person we paid about $700 each. We were picked up at our hotel at 4:45am, drove 2.5 hours to the park where we switched vehicles/guides. We stopped for coffee at the Kruger gate and then took two breaks during the rest of the day for bathroom and lunch. We finished up around 3pm and were dropped off at a really cute lodge, where we enjoyed the pool and a multiple course dinner! We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves the first day, and then on the second day we were picked up at 515am and followed the same itinerary, leaving the park around 3 and getting back to our Maputo hotel by 630pm. It was a great experience and we saw lots of animals- lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, monkeys and of course impala!
This tour was way beyond expectations! Great driver Alfainho picked us up in our hotel in Maputo and safely bring us there and back. The safari tour itself was really amazing with driver (which name I dont remember) but she was really experienced and knew her animals with every detail possible. The lodge for the night was really great experience on the edge of the national park with many animals directly on your backyard.
Thank-you for our feedback. We are very happy that Alfainho and Mercy provided a memorable trip. We are also happy that you enjoyed our partner lodge. It has conditions much better than the Rest Camps but with the fantastic location on the Kruger boundary.
Everything was wonderful, the trip was excellent. The guide was very nice, a great experience. I recommend it. The hotel was so goood!! The Safari was perfect. Thank you.
