Just “wow”! - The summary on our safari with Enock: incredible and I’d recommend to anyone considering a safari! I’ve wanted to go on a safari for 15+ years. Enock created an experience that far surpassed even my (admittedly high) expectations. He showed so much intentionality in aiming to get us to see what we had hoped for in our drives. Those two days left me saying “wow” more times than I can count and we got to share a special moment with my friend & I plus Enock when we encountered a leopard on a deserted road. Some of the most magical moments of my life. I truly can’t recommend this enough and am excited for anyone who gets to experience this in the future!

Sammy Maile, King of the Kruger!! - my girlfriend and I were recommended that we take a whole day Safari tour with Sammy Maile! It was truly an unbelievable experience, and we did 2 days!! We should have done more!! Sammy has been a guide in the park for over 19 years, he’s an expert in his profession. to trust your guide, and to know that you’re both safe, and going to have an amazing experience the second to none in the Kruger. (it was my first time visiting). And we saw the Big 5, ostriches, wild African dogs, hyenas, and leopards in the trees. (if you know the safari, you understand how impressive that is for a two day stint, we owe all our thanks to our Guide and the brothers of the Kruger. I must add Sammy is absolutely hilarious, truthfully, understands people, and must be one of the most courteous individuals I’ve ever met in my entire life. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t book with KurtSafari, they are a a very reputable and seamless company, I really enjoyed them. But what made my experience over the moon was Sammy Maile, they should try cutting him in half!!

Finally got that leopard - Thank you to Kurt and team for 5 awesum days in Kruger NP and the Panorama route! Service was very punctual and professional! Our guides Sammy and Pleasure went out of their way to spot and show us the best animals and views they could find. Those elusive cats were a treat to finally find and appreciate! Vehicles were clean and well maintained! Accommodation and food provided was first rate as well!

Best Safari company in Kruger National Park - A BIG thanks to Kurt Safaris for wonderful memories made. From the pick up I was impressed by clean well maintained vehicles and friendly, informative and professional guides. Sammy went out of his way to show us as many animals as possible. He always parked the game viewer the best angle for all to take lovely photos. He is well organized and got us in the park 2 mornings in a row to be the first safari vehicle inside the park. Pleasure was full of stories and very informative. We know lots now about the Kruger and the animals. For me being on many Safaris before it was great to learn something new every day from our great guides. Thanks for the lekker breakfast packs!! All and all 10 out of 10 for you guys. I will be back and send all my friends and guest.

The best experience - My family and I went on a private 2 day safari with Kurt Safari. We had Sammy as our tour guide and we had the absolute best experience possible. Sammy was extremely knowledgeable about the safari, the Kruger, and everything in between. He made us feel super comfortable and right at home the whole trip. We saw so many animals from birds to the big 5 and learned so much about the environment they live in. Truly an amazing experience. So lucky we had Sammy as our guide and would highly recommend him and Kurt Safari to anyone looking to experience all the Kruger has to offer. We will definitely be back go on more adventures with Sammy as our guide.

Best game drive - if you can ask for guide Muzi - Today we went on a game drive and it was amazing! We saw loads of animals and had a nice lunch. The guide was very knowledgeable but on top of that, we laughed so much and had great fun! Muzi is the best!

Most amazing experience of my life - This has to be the best thing we have ever experienced, all down to our tour guide Enock. He was so knowledgeable about all of the animals, birds, plants - everything. The day was much more enjoyable knowing we were safe in his hands. He went to great lengths to find us animals that we were interested in and we just so happened to see all of the big 5. The tour we chose was a group tour, however, there was only one other couple with us so it was pretty much a private tour. We were told that it’s extremely rare to see a Cheetah, however, I managed to spot one in the distance and 5 minutes later all of the other safaris in the area turned up to see. They all communicate with eachother vía a walkie talkie/WhatsApp group so your chances of seeing animals increases. After some lunch, Enock told us that two cheetahs had been seen walking on the road in the exact area we were in so he took us straight there. To our surprise, we find two cheetahs just walking right next to the road - it was spectacular. We also managed to see a leopard lying in the grass, loads of giraffe, elephants, zebras, buffalo, baboons, hyenas, wildebeest, a hippo, white rhino and so much more! We were also very lucky to see a black mamba on the road. It’s entirely down to luck but Enock will ensure you get a good chance to see what you want to see. We also did a sunset safari the day before booking through Kruger Park itself and it was no where near as good as this one. The bus was packed full, it was really loud so the animals could hear us as we approached and the driver really didn’t care about us seeing much. He was just set on getting through the journey. Thanks so much for making this day special for us Enock!

Many happy returns! - As cultural tour guide, I often make use of Kurt Safaris with my guests for full-day or half-day game drives and we always have a fantastic time. The guides (last time it was Chris and Sthimbile) are knowlegable and entertaining, taking as to great places for viewing, lunch and landscape. Can highly recommend!
