We are group of 4 friends visiting Kruger with Nhongo on a 4 day safari package. The booking process was really straightforward and professional, Verity is a star. Pickup and drop off were smooth and easy. The 4 day safari was just the right length. Our guide is a fantastic human being who made our safari stay absolutely magical! We saw so much on our game drive thanks to her. Thank you Nhongo for making our experience so awesome. Highly recommended
Nhongo Safaris was great every step of the way! Knowing his reputation as the best bird guide in the Kruger area, I asked if I could get a custom tour with Gert Claassen. Nhongo was extremely flexible, putting together a trip based on my interests and Gert did everything in his power to find me the outrageous list of plants and animals I was looking for. I don't think you can beat the price for a tour like this. If you want a safari that takes the quality up, this would be it.
My boyfriend and I were visiting South Africa for the first time and we had an incredible experience with Nhongo Safaris. We've been recommending them to everyone we've spoken to since returning from our holiday. As with any wildlife experience, it was made clear to us that nothing was guaranteed and lucky timing played a big factor. We were indeed very lucky and saw the big 5 and so much life. We were so impressed with how much we saw.
