Great, well-planned tour.
We had a great time in the Kruger! The accommodation was great and we saw all the animals we wanted to see.
We opted for the scenic route on the last day which was really worth it. The tour was perfectly laid out for us and communication with Norman and our driver was very easy.
Into the Wild: A Spectacular Safari Journey with Nhlalala Travel
Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable adventure!. Professional and well-organized safari. The driver was punctual and ensured a smooth pick-up. Value for money with breathtaking wildlife encounters.
Everything was awesome, great safari, good lodges and great memories!
Norman is a great guy, he responds quickly and he tailored the plan for our needs. The prices are good, hotels too. Lucky is a super cool driver, and safari experience was amazing. Would recommend to everyone.

Trustworthy all in one-package
We really enjoyed our safari tour to Kruger with Nhalala Travel.
From the beginning the communication was very kind and we got all replies very quick. Norman was accompanying us during these days. He made us feel very confortable. He is a openminded person and we had very interesting talks in the long drive from Johannesburg-Kruger & back.

Great value, great service, great people.
I did a 3 night safari to Kruger National Park, and stayed at Sabie River Bush Lodge. Norman, the owner of Nhlalala Travel answered all my questions quickly and made the organization of the trip easy. The tour guide, Khongi, was fantastic—knowledgeable, helpful, friendly—he made sure everything went smoothly. The accommodations were great value, the Park was full of wildlife, and the best surprise was the Panorama route, with spectacular rock formations and mountain views.

Fuss free tour and comfortable stay
Decided to go with Nhalalala Travel because of the many positive reviews. Had 2 young children so booking a safari tour was a no-brainer. We booked the 3D2N Kruger Safari Tour with Panorama Route. Booking the tour was straightforward, simple and fuss free. I truly appreciated that Norman was super responsive, prompt and comprehensive in his replies. I’d think that the highlight of the trip was the hotel venue, Kruger Gate Hotel. Glad that it was an option as part of the tour package. Their viewing deck was amazing - we saw a family of elephants right in front of our eyes! Truly a magical and unique experience. Being just a minute away from Kruger Park’s entrance makes it extra convenient and no time wasted. It was also nice that the tour guide was friendly. Some areas of improvement, however, is that clearer communications during the actual tour would be good. For instance, we only knew who will be picking us up and at what time the day before. We were also only told the day before our sunset drive that children below 6 will not be allowed, this is despite us informing in advance of the age of our kids when confirming the tour. Thankfully they managed to find alternatives by engaging another Safari guide to bring us out in the afternoon instead. Still, it would have been better to have known upfront about the conditions and limitations earlier. There were also times where I felt some uncertainties when my queries were not answered timely during the tour, e.g. we were told to be at the lobby by 6am but waited till 6.15am for the tour guide to arrive. It would have been nice to give me an update of the whereabouts and estimated arrival time if late. Hence, I strongly suggest to iron these details out in advance if you were to book the same tour. Nevertheless, the overall experience is still lovely and I’d recommend first-time travellers with limited time to try out this tour with Nhalalala!

Really great! Made the booking and planning process easy and we had an amazing time!
We did a 3 day safari from joburg and returned via the panoramic route. The whole experience was smooth from beginning to end. We had Lucky as our driver and guide and he was great! Friendly, knowledgable and ensured we got to see some rhinos on the drive back when we didn’t get to see them in Kruger! He also made some great recommendations and was always on time and made sure there was good communication throughout. The safari experience itself was a dream! We got to see 4/5 the big five and all of the ugly 5. It was a once in a lifetime experience and one of the top memories from our honeymoon

Perfect Safari Trip
We used Nhlalala Travels to plan our time in and around Krugger and we honestly couldn’t fault them.
Their communication, customer care, information and excellent organisation make them a very easy recommendation.
To top it off they truly care about booking you the best trip possible on any budget.
Norman who was our main point of contact helped us shape the trip to exactly what we wanted. Communication and information was excellent throughout. Our driver Lucky who took us from Johannesburg to Krugger via the Panama Route was very knowledgeable on nature and history keeping up informed and engaged for the long trip. He was there throughout our time in Kruger helping us be where needed to be. Jerry our safari guide was also amazing, his knowledge and passion for Krugger was clear and made the safari even more special. His relentless pursuit of seeing all the animals including the big 5 is exactly what you want in a guide! We say the big 5 except and Leopard but did see Wild Dogs and Cheetahs which was simply amazing and not possible without Jerry.
We spent 2 weeks in South Africa on a self planned trip but using Nhlalala for the time in Kruger turned out to be a must do, so I would highly recommend getting in touch to discuss and plan your trip.
