    Our safari was organized well in advance of our trip, but the communication was excellent. They booked great hotels and safari camps for us, and there was someone to meet us at every stop on our journey. A truly memorable experience.

    We had a marvelous time on our three day Wolhuter walk in Kruger National Park. There were only four of us in the camp and we had a great time. While our walks did not yield any close encounters, it was still well worth the experience being able to walk thru Kruger.

    Our guides were excellent and so full of interesting information. The food in the camp was always wonderful and plentiful. If you have a chance to do the Wolhuter walk, do it!!!

    This was our first wilderness trail. It was incredible. The walks were so exciting - following a lion roar and footprints is hard to put into words how freaky that feels! We were very lucky to see 3 rhinos, 2 elephants, 2 male lions, 4 honey badgers, a leopard with kill in a tree and 6 hyenas underneath (on a drive), a jackal, a hippo on foot and many in the olifants river walk (!), kudu, giraffes with babies etc etc. Aaron and Absalom are amazing field guides - full of fun yet felt safe and comfortable in their care throughout. Herbert the chef fed us incredibly well. I am not fit, but was able to do the 4-5 hour walks as the pace is fine, with plenty of stops. Everyone who can, should do a walking experience. Highly recommend. Thank you San Parks 👏

    I just wanted to express my utmost satisfaction with my recent hiking experience in Kruger national park.

    We spent time in Napi camp, with Raymond and Filimon as guides. Despite a bit of unusual rain we could not possibly have had a more positive experience. The whole setup is quite perfect, with the food, tha camp site, the walks etc.

    But most importantly to our experience was the incredibly skillful, friendly, caring and not least competent guidance from Raymond and Filimon. They both had an unbelievable level of knowledge and experience, and they both went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible experience under the circumstances. Their skills also made us feel very safe despite the otherwise challenging environment.

    While hiking in Kruger is clearly not for the fainthearted, thanks to the professional setup and competent guides it is an experience I can warmly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the park up close.

    Thank you again for making it possible to experience your park in this unusual way.

    My wife and I joined 6 friends to spend 3 nights in the nyala land trail camp.
    This is the first time most of us walked in the Kruger Park and a few of us were honestly quite anxious about it but our guides (Christopher and sipho) were incredibly knowledgeable and took great Care to keep us safe.
    The food (prepared by chef winston) was honest fare but very well made.
    The camp is basic but offers a fantastic experience.
    We were also taken to 600 year old ruins and dinosaur fossils.
    A must for anyone seeing a different way of experiencing the bush

    Went with the kids to do a bit of camping and let me tell you the new manager Johan Palm does an amazing job. This place is going to get better with him looking after the place!

    Every moment was beyond fantastic. There were 8 guests, 2 guides and a camp manager – in a small camp many miles from the nearest human. Everybody got along great, soon after arrival we were sat round the campfire looking over a river & out over the plane spotting all sorts of fantastic animals. The camp was simple, and superbly comfortable. We understand it was getting rebuild with more luxury starting the day we left. Walking in the Kruger park – what a way to experience the park, not just seeing animals from a car window but accessing their space. Just the experience of being so close to nature was magical.

    Our guides were fantastic, they got us a few yards from a family of Rhino, along with sighting of many other big animals. More than half the guests were bird spotters – the guides found plenty of exciting birds for them.

    The camp manager – James – what a top man, cooked for everybody – and what a superb menu.

    On the way home the wheel fell off the gear trailer, we all wanted to go back to camp & stay a few extra days, but unfortunately we were quickly rescued.

    We went for a game drive in the Kruger and our guide was Phanos. He was excellent! Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We all learnt so much and were so happy that he managed to find all the majestic animals we hoped to see! Thank you Phanos for a wonderful experience.

    We only had a few days in Kruger, so we were in the queues for gate opening, and just made it back for gate closing. We quite forgot that we hadn't eatun for 8 hours, untill we arrived. The smells wafting from the BBQ made us very hungry – the food was great.
