    Totally amazing Kruger Park guide.
    We had three days private Safari with Andrew and one of his colleagues. I cannot recommend him highly enough, his knowledge is second to none, his attention to detail and ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see was amazing. His passion for Kruger shines through, he really is an extraordinary guide and a totally charming person to spend the day with. I guarantee you will not find a better Kruger guide.

    Worth it!
    Ofiço the driver and Thabi the guide were great! I spent an entire day at Kruger Park and definitely recommend it! If you have a day off in Maputo, this is totally worth it.

    Great game drive
    It was a great drive, and Mylord was superhelpful. The dinner was nice, but the breakfast could be better. It was an exciting experience watching animals grazing peacefully next to you, but be prepared for a long ride - some animals pop up unexpectedly, and it may take a while for some of them to show up. Bring a binocle as wild cats can be seen mostly from far.

    Great views, great driver, great food!! Amazing day!
    Amazing day with Dave! He gave us a lot information about all sights we visited, he was full of energy and we loved this day. When we told him that on coming Monday my 6year old would celebrate her birthday he sang her a birthday song, bought her a gift from a local market, even had the ladies in the restaurant sing her the birthday song, in a special African way (!), and make a pancake for her, that was a great surprise for all of us! All the views were amazing and all information and jokes coming from Dave made this day unforgettable!

    Why isn’t everyone visiting South Africa?
    We had an amazing four days of tours with Dave and his colleague Ciska. First of all, arrangements were super easy to make, and communication with Dave and Ciska was excellent.

    The tours themselves were so amazing. Kruger Park is beyond description. We had an amazing day seeing so many amazing animals in the beautiful surroundings. The tours were paced brilliantly, we had plenty of breaks and opportunities to support local merchants.

    I only wish I had come to this beautiful place earlier. We will definitely be back.

    Dave is a master at hospitality and putting others at ease. We felt safe going through borders and navigating through the busy traffic of Maputo. Our trip to Swaziland was magical as well. We also loved our trip to the Blyde Canyon and surrounding sights. We had a blast with Dave and will remember this time fondly for years to come.

    I strongly recommend 👍!
    Everything was perfect and we really appreciated Mbombela Tour’s work to make our tour more than pleasant. We were the only ones in this tour and Netto and his colleagues made their best to adjust the plans to our convenience. They are really flexible. A big thank you to the team ! We definitely recommend Mbombela Tours

    Brilliant day in Kruger with Rufus
    My wife and I booked DT Safaris for our 2nd trip to Kruger on 4/2/2020. Rufus, our guide, was on time(early actually.. No mean feat at 5am), extremely knowledgable and tailored our tour for what we wanted to see. Highly recommend and would go with them again on our next visit to the park, hopefully sooner rather than later.

    Thanks Rufus and the DT guys making it easy for us, and providing a great day.

    Fun trip to Hlane and Kruger National Parks
    Our group of 5 did a 2-day, 1-night safari from Maputo to Kruger National Park. We wanted to see Eswatini as well so Tours Maputo was able to work with us so that on the first day we drove to Hlane National Park and did a game drive before driving to Kruger to spend the night. The next day we did a full day in Kruger and drove back to Maputo arriving around dinner time. We had a friendly, safe driver who was on time and made sure we made it through border crossings ok. Our safari guides in Hlane were good and our guide in Kruger was excellent. Nice accommodation as well. The tour was an excellent value and a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

    Great Tour!
    Great experience all-around. From the time of booking, the communication was clear and responses to questions was quick. The driver to and from Maputo was knowledgeable and professional. The tour guide was informative and responsive to our group. We saw a lot of animals and all around this was a well organized experience and worth the price. I would do this tour again and recommend it to others!

    A most memorable day!
    Our Mabeco tour driver was waiting for us at the arranged time and he drove us to the entrance to Kruger Park and guided us through border controls from Mozambique to South Africa. Along the way we had a “boxed” breakfast of juice, water, apples, protein bars, and biscuits. We were met at the park entrance by our excellent driver and guide Nico Steyn. The early arrival meant we had a good chance of seeing animals and our expectations were exceeded: we saw 4 of the Big 5 and scores of additional species of bird and beast! A tasty and satisfying lunch was included at the Mugg & Bean, with a spectacular view across an estuarine landscape with giraffe and other animals.We can only say that we unequivocally recommend Mabeco. From online reservations, communication, to service and quality of tour - every step of the way was excellent and exceeded our expectations!

    The perfect short trip!
    We can only add to the already fantastic reviews of this tour company - we had a the best overnight stay in Kruger with our tour guide Ciska who looked after us so well. Her ability to spot a Cheetah 200m away meant we got a really rare sighting!

    Our overnight accommodation in Pretoriuskop was lovely and our Braai dinner was cooked to perfection.

    The second day took us the length of the Panorama route with none of the stress of route planning and driving and the views along the way were nothing short of spectacular.

    We needed to get back to Nelspruit a little earlier than planned and we were given the flexibility to do so, truly making it a "flexi" tour.

    Just amazing- what a memorable trip!
    Just awesome loved everything with the tour. Our time at Kruger was magical and we have seen the big five and the ugly five. Just make sure to get out there as soon as the gates open! Mozambique: didn’t know what to expect but loved Maputo’s architecture and the chilled vibes of Ponta do Ouro. Eswatini: what a beautiful stay in the huts, waking up surrounded by impalas a magical experience for sure. Also the scenery was absolutely spectacular and doing the Panorama route north of White river and the amazing vistas before Barberton are worth it. Thank you Dave for your amazing company and great far from boring personality :) also the man can cook and we loved your braai 😀

    Incredible experience with top-notch staff
    The safari was beyond amazing--I saw lions less than five feet from our vehicle, a leopard strolling down the road, and so many other animals that I couldn't keep track. The lodge itself was incredible as well.

    But the best part was easily my trip organizer, Jakes. He communicated everything in a timely manner and provided every detail possible. Most notably, when we had to cut my safari a day short due to events out of everyone's control, Jakes made sure I got refunded for my last day. I cannot recommend enough going through this booking if you want to make sure you have the best, most well attended to safari.
