The driver Greg picked 6 of us up from the Kruger airport and drove us to Rissington Inn. On the way, he provided history and useful information on the scenery we passed. The next morning, our driver Paul, picked us up from Rissington Inn, took us on the Panarama Highlights Tour, and then onto Umjumbe Safari Lodge. Both drivers were exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I would definitely recommend their services. Thanks to Live Life African Safari Getaways for organizing the transfers.

I’d like to commend the level of service Jozef provides. While it was a simple of act of a booking enquiry, he was kind and fast enough to advise, and rectified the issue I had with the booking. On top of that, he managed to connect us with a professional and passionate guide (named Shoes) for our 2-day safari trip. Very pleased and satisfied with the service from Jozef! I highly recommend African Big5 Safari!

I had a really great time on this safari. The guides were really knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. We saw so many animals!! It was a dream come true. The stop at Blyde Canyon on the way back is a nice plus as well. All staff was nice and friendly; great driver Tabo, excellent cook Tiger, and super field guides and bushmen Raymond and Talli. Thank you to Nyarai and Luca as well. I only have a small complaint: even for a "budget" safari, I find it absurd that drinking water it's not included in the meals that were provided. I understand for soft drinks and others but water should be included.

We booked the 5 days budget tour with Lloyd and it was the best decision we made during our trip through South Africa. Lloyd is an amazing and very experienced tour guide and overall a very very nice guy!! He knows so much about the nature in Kruger. To all animals and plants he will provide you with tons of very interesting and sometimes funny information. And beside that you can have a great time with him at the campfire on the evenings. No need to say that he also prepares ultra-delicious meals as well. The Africamps accommodation was the base for the daily adventures with Lloyd. The camp is a very nice place on its own. Check the pictures on his webside for more details and make sure you book the Luxury-tent. It is 100% worth the small extra money!! :-) What we liked most about our tour with Lloyd was the fact that he gets still as excited and fascinated as us about the wildlife and plants we spotted, although he saw them already a million times before for sure. I can tell that in this moments we all felt like small children again, enthusiastic about everything we explore in Kruger and having the time of our life. Another cool thing was the bush-walk with Lloyd. It was a total different experience than in the Safari vehicle. But with him we felt perfectly fine and save. We can not recommend his tours high enough. For us it was THE HIGHLIGHT!! of our South Africa trip. Book with him and you will have a great time and memories for a lifetime. Thank you so much Lloyd for everything!!

Lloyd and his tour was AMAZING! We had a group of 6 and did 4 days with him. Lloyd's passion for the animals and the tours made such a difference and he literally was an encyclopedia of nature knowledge. He knew every animals, bird, and tree. The thing I liked best about his tour was the variety. We did a couple day drive, a night drive, a walking tour, and a boat trip. It was seriously one of the best safari trips I've done. If you're looking for someone to show you around Kruger, Lloyd is the man! ALSO, the accommodations were incredible as well. The pictures don't do it justice.
