Everything was absolute perfection! From the planning of our trip, the communication, the coordination, the safaris themselves, was planned and executed perfectly! Verity and Dean were both fantastic to work with. Nhongo Safari was recommended to us and we couldn't have been happier with the choice to work with them. I loved that everything was coordinated from our airport pickup, pickup at the gate the KNP and getting us to and from our hotel. (Krugergate Hotel which was also amazing).

It was our 2nd safari with Nhongo. And we were not disappointed. Their slogan "Arrive as strangers, leave as friends" fits perfectly. Verity & Dean did everything to ensure that we - 3 couples who are friends. We had a lot of fun & saw so much! A leopard came right up to the safari jeep - a goosebumps moment for life! They picked us up from our lodge in Johannesburg & brought us back there after the safari. Everything was perfectly organized & carried out. Nhongo Safaris is highly recommended!
