My boyfriend and I thought the all-day safari was great. Our guide Luvuyo was super friendly and very helpful. He often asked if we were okay and if we had any questions. We had a good conversation with him. He was able to tell and explain a lot about the animals. He answered all the questions. We could see four of the Big Five. Also the communication with Elephant Herd Tours & Safari was great. They responded very quickly and were extremely helpful. The day was just incredible.

The whole trip was organised to our needs and wants. Brendon and Bev made sure all our questions were answered and checked in throughout the trip. This reassured us as two females travelling to South Africa for the first time they made us feel safe. We were picked up by Bhekifa from Johannesburg, he was an amazing driver and very knowledgeable and had so much love for the animals when talking about them. Our tour guide on the morning Game was Trevor, he managed to find 4/5 animals of the big 5 within the first hour of our drive. He was so passionate and knowledgeable on all the animals and Kruger National park. The Accomodation we were provided exceeded our expectations. Zarafa was our first stop and absolutely breathtaking, so beautiful and the service from the staff and owner was so accomodating to our needs. Overall had the best time on our 5 day safari tour with the Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris and you should definitely book with this company.

We first found out about Elephant Herd "EH" through Safari Bookings. We have reached out to approximately 5 service providers, and ultimately settled for Elephant Herds for 3 simple reasons: 1) Fast Bias of Action 2) Customer-Oriented/Hospitality 3) Price - Experience Ratio Where it took us about 3-4 days on average to hear back from other providers, EH on average came back in 0.5-1 day, with very concise and informative experience. Not only was Beth super patient, she was practical - and even proposed a couple version of itineraries to our needs. We coordinated with Beth, and found out it's a relatively cozy family-owned dedicated team, where they focus on the quality instead of quantity of service. For example, due to a delay of flight from Europe, we missed Day 1's night safari drive - team EH was proactive enough to suggest on their own accord a replacement in Day 2, allowing us the full experience, we even had the owner Brandon picked us up one of the evenings himself. In terms of Price - Experience ratio, team EH ensures the best - for example, in typical Kruger safari drives - most cars would be loaded to the maximum of 9, whereas in EH, they focus to ensure no more than 6 per jeep. These are the small little things that stands out. We also had a lovely time with one of their guides, Bhekifa, and it felt more like a tour with a long lost friend, that has deep knowledge and great hospitality across. Once again, a big thank you to team EH for the fantastic experience - they may not be the biggest in the industry, but they are certainly big in EXperience and ensuring a great memory in Africa.

The tour we went on was simply exceptional. The whole experience was very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. The accommodation selected was wonderful, spacious and comfortable. The elephant experience in Hazyview is well worth doing and was the perfect start to our safari. We saw all the big 5 plus cheetah and hippos in Kruger on our first full day of the tour plus a load more! The panorama route was a very comfortable journey and our guide was highly informative. Bev and Brendon were so accommodating of our requests and questions in the booking process and were so welcoming and friendly when we got to South Africa. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Having seen the itinerary and pictures, my wife and I had high expectations and even these were massively exceeded.

Our trip, masterfully arranged by Bev of Elephant Herd Tours, was magical - the absolute trip of a lifetime. Within a relatively short time - 8 days - we got to see so much of South Africa and Eswatini. I travelled to Johannesburg on a work trip and then extended my stay to go on this safari, and I am so glad I did. We had multiple safaris in Kruger, enjoyed incredible vistas on the Panoramic Route, and visited several well-known game reserves such as SabieSands, Kruger, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, and iSimangaliso. We got to enjoy the savannah, the bush, the mountains, the high and low veld, the coast, the estuary, and the Indian Ocean. Completely unforgettable moments, the accommodations were great - especially the Zarafa, which was magnificent in every way - we saw the big five multiple times, had close-up and personal interactions with elephants, and got close to wild lions, spotted cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, monkeys etc. My teenage daughter learned so much about animals and nature conservation in the process. Bev was flexible and adapted to our wishes when we had last-minute requests. We felt looked after and cared for the whole way; the guides were stellar, appeared to be having as much fun as we were, and were always ready to answer our many questions and provide in-depth, thoughtful answers. Highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours and all we encountered there, from Bev and Brandon in the office to Trevor and Wesley, Kallie, Sam, and also everyone else at EuroZulu (namely Johan, Sabelo, and Siyabonga) who took us on several game drives and boat trips up the estuary. I would give this trip 10/5 stars if I could as it exceeded all expectations several times over. Amazing!

The driver was very rude. Je was also agressive and not polite… more particularly toward woman. It was a very bad expérience…

We had a wonderful tour! We where even lucky to see the Big Five and a Cheeta. The thing that made our trip unforgettable was our guide Trevor! He had such a motivation to find a the animals and had lots of humor! One final lesson: Everything is possible! But you need to have some luck on you’re side.

Our guide, Trevor, was very professional and kindly!!! We saw all big 5 in a morning thanks to the guide! Very very very good experience!!!

Excellent all round experience. We were lucky to see the big 5. Our guide was super knowledgeable and timekeeping was impeccable. Definite bucket list experience

We had an amazing experience with Elephant Herd! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company! They were incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, professional, warm, friendly, and honest. The owners are clearly passionate about their work, which comes across in everything that they do. Their staff of rangers and drivers were also very impressive and they, too, share a passion for their work. We ended up booking five adventures with this company and they all were fantastic! We learned a lot about the animals, the culture of the people in the area, the history of the area, and recommendations for making our trip even more fantastic. Two examples of how this company went the extra mile are: 1) they arranged for two members of our group to go shopping at a location that completely met our needs while they took the other two members of our group to enjoy an elephant experience — this was all done as an add-on to our Sunset Safari adventure; and 2) our ranger, Bhekifa, went way out of his way to make sure we would see a rhino in Kruger Park so that we could complete our sittings of the Big 5 before leaving the Park! He absolutely came through for us! In sum, this is an amazing company that will do everything possible to make your trip a once in a lifetime experience - they did so for us and we are forever grateful!

Excellent game drive! We loved what our driver, Remember, said: „we know that you pay a lot of money to visit our country and our park and we do everything we can to show you all the animals you came to see.“ He did exactly that in our case. He went the extra mile, patiently and systematically searched, estimated, exchanged information with his peers, and he found! And we were so happy :) Thank you for an ungorgettable experience!

Amazing experience in our life. We saw big 5 in one day. Very nice and professional driver/gids 👌 we did o e fully day and one half day safari and we saw a different animals in those 2 days.

I had the pleasure of doing a Panorama Tour with Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris. Our guide Bhekifa was an absolute gem. His knowledge of the area as well as cultural information on the local tribe and others around the Graskop Hazyview area was impressive. He did all the view points with us, ensuring we were safe and comfortable at all times. I highly recommend doing the Panorama Tour with Elephant Herd

The safari was great ❤️Trevor is the best! we saw so many animals! Greetings from Poland!See you next year! It was pleasure❤️

Bhekifa Ngomane is the most excellent and dedicated guide one can ever wish for! He has endless passion and commitment to delivering the best safari tour. We went two consecutive full day tours with Bhekifa and we covered different sides of Kruger other tours did not bother covering! We saw all of the big 5, especially the leopard and rhinos which only Bhekifa is able to detect and point out. He is simply the best guide you need! Book him for the greatest safari experience of your life.
