We did a 5 days safari with Gert and we're so glad we got him to be our guide. It was our first time being in Kruger doing game drive, everything was a brand new experience to us but Gert was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I loved that Gert tried to make sure we see as much as we can yet also was very respective towards the nature and all the animals. Thank you Nhongo Safaris!
We are just back from a 5 days safari with Nhongo safaris. We had Geert as tour guide.The experience was great. The booking process was very professional, extremely smooth and responsive to questions. Geert was really good at spotting animals, sharing his knowledge of animals and of Kruger. The accomodation and the food were good. Highly recommended provider.
We booked the five day safari and were initially worried that it might be too long, too dry or too much sitting in a van. It was none of those things. The guides we met were brilliantly well informed, super friendly and helpful. All in all, one of the best combinations we have experienced in a tour company and a great way to finish an incredible 16 days in beautiful South Africa!
This safari made the entire trip to South Africa worth it.. Our guide was amazing, and you could really tell he cared a tremendous amount about his work and about working with and protecting the animals. He happily answered all of our questions and took time to actually teach us about the animals. This trip is worth every penny, and we don't regret it in the slightest.
