“Would do it again in a heartbeat! - What a day! We were picked up at our AirBnB and then driven to Phabeni gate. The early start meant watching the sun rise over Kruger National Park, which was amazing! Immediately, our guide pointed out giraffes, African wild dogs, hyena, lions, and of course impalas and zebras. By the end of the day, we had seen so many beautiful animals (including vultures, kudu, elephants, buffalo, and wildebeests) and learned so many cool facts about the park, the wildlife, and the ecology. She found out I am a birder and made many stops to see different birds. 11 out of 10 stars. This tour group takes care of you!” - Reviewed on 2025-03-03

“Book. Andrew. Now. - I’m an avid traveler but have never done a review but I owe it to Andrew and to my fellow travelers to write the following. Andrew’s instincts, experience and knowledge are impressive. He was highly recommended by very experienced birding friends of my wife. Our entire family joined him on a day trip from Malelane Gate after hearing how well the birding went. He’s the guy to trust. He knows every nook and cranny of the park and he knew where to find the wildlife. His stories and instruction kept our teens and preteens’ attention as we waited for the wild dogs to appear (as he felt they would) and as we sat and listened to the grunts of the anxious hyenas who had treed a leopard with a fresh kill. What a day.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-13
