Sammi = Safari legend! - We had the absolute pleasure of having Sammy as our safari driver in Kruger National Park, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide! Sammy's deep knowledge of the park and its wildlife made our experience unforgettable. He not only shared fascinating facts about the animals and their behaviors, but he also had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife that we would have completely missed on our own. Thanks to Sammy's expertise and dedication, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five — something we’ll never forget! His passion for the park and respect for the animals truly shone through, and he made every drive feel exciting and personal. We always felt safe, informed, and in awe of what we were seeing. Highly recommend Sammy and the Kurt Safari team to anyone visiting Kruger — he’s an exceptional guide who made our safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Full Day is the way to go! - We took the full day safari which started at 5:30 AM and ended at 4:00 PM. Our tour guide was Justice, and he was incredible guide, very knowledgeable, charismatic, and honest. He was able to show us so many different animals and he knew so much about the animals we saw. Since this was a longer tour he took us to some less traveled areas of the park where we saw some more unique animals than the typical half day areas. He was determined to make sure we could see all of the animals we wanted to see and more. In fact, he put a lot of work in to get Intel on where to spot a Leopard, and he delivered! 10 hours may seem like a lot, but it's the best way to see all the animals and it's a lot of fun! Justice gave us an experience we will never forget!

Unforgettable experience In Kruger! - I truly can not overstate enough how special this experience was, from the moment we started to arrange it with Christa we instantly felt like we were in the hands of true and caring professionals. The Umbhaba Eco Lodge Is a wonderful location and the free provided transfer from Johannesburg is comfortable and quick (Even if It is 5 hours, 2 stops are included for coffee etc.). We booked a 3 day Safari Experience and were assigned Sammy as our Safari Guide for the First Evening Safari and Second day full experience and wow, this man made our experience out in the Kruger into something truly unforgettable. If you want to make sure to not miss ANYTHING while out in the bush, then beg the staff for this man as your guide. In the span of 4 hours (before breakfast!!) we saw all of the big five and were up close and comfortable with all of them because of his knowledge and spirit. His motivation and passion to build a team was an irreplaceable experience and even though we still have one safari drive left, I can already say that I am accomplished and blessed about the beauty of nature I got to experience with Kurt Safari. I would always choose it again. Consider yourself lucky if you read this while seeking a safari that is truly valuable. You can stop searching now, Kurt has got it all. Meanwhile, the stay in the Lodge provided us with great food and even took care of our breakfast packages throughout the drives.

Amazing driver, bucket list experience - Chris Sibuyi was our driver and we had an amazing experience. This tour was booked through our G adventures Kruger in Depth tour. Chris was attentive to our requests (multiple photographers in the group) and made sure to get us to reported sightings. At one point there was a male lion sleeping in the field and he took us to another spot but returned to ensure we sighted the lion as it was waking up.

Better than we dreamed! - We had the most incredible, magical experience, better than I could have ever imagined! We’d seen the big 5 by 9:30am and the day just got better and better. Sammy was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and made sure we were always in the right place at the right time. We had a pride of lions cross the road around us, a herd of elephants walk past our car, we saw a leopard dragging its prey to a tree, a family of hyenas playing next to our car and that’s not even half of it! Cannot recommend Kurt safaris enough and especially Sammy the tour guide

Unforgettable Full-Day Safari - We had an absolutely amazing full-day safari with Chris S as part of our G Adventures Kruger in Depth tour. Our group of 8 filled a comfortable 10-seater vehicle, and from start to finish, Chris made the experience both exciting and memorable. What stood out the most was Chris’s deep knowledge of the park—his passion for wildlife was clear in every explanation and every stop we made. He knew exactly where to go and what to look for, and it was obvious that helping us spot the animals we came to see truly mattered to him. Thanks to his years of experience leading tours in the park, we had some incredible sightings and learned a lot along the way. If you’re planning a safari and have the chance to go with Chris S, do it. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a greater appreciation for the wildlife and the park itself. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable safari at Kruger - We had a wonderful safari day full of incredibile wildlife and experiences thanks to our fantastic guide, Sammy. By 9am, Sammy had already discovered all the big 5 for us and made our day memorable. During the rest of the day we had the opportunity to see a group of 10 (!!) lions, hyenas, a close look up to baby elephants and giraffes (and many more). Definitely recommended!
