We had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed it with Derrick our guide. He has a vast knowledge of the animals and the park in general, and a great sense of humour. We would definitely recommend Kruger Gateway Safari for a game drive in the Kruger.
Hi Josè. Thank you so much for taking the time to review your safari in Kruger with Derrick. We thrive on reviews like yours and it keeps us on our toes.
We made 2x with Rufus a full day game drive from Hazyview. We enjoyed it immensely. Made game drives before, but Rufus was really skilled. With great attention to welfare animals, appropriate distance if necessary for crossing for example. But always that photos could be taken well.
Hi Maartje. Thank you for your very kind review of your two safari trips with Rufus. It is great to get this kind of feedback. I will certainly convey your kind words to Rufus.
We did two wonderful safaris with Gerrie, a cornucopia of knowledge regarding the wildlife at Kruger National Park. Both the day tour and the evening tour were full of encounters with animals that Gerrie knew where and when to find. He turned out to be very flexible when we booked the tours exclusively for the two of us, so the trips turned out to be very personal and every single question of ours was professionally answered and he left nothing to be desired.

Hi Elke and Bernard. It humbles me to read your review. I am truly gratefull for such a heartfelt review of our time together in Kruger. Travel well and travel safely.
We had a fantastic day! Edward, our guide/driver of the day, was ready at the appointed time to treat us to the most amazing day of this holiday. We saw four of the five Big Fives, only the leopard wouldn't show up even though we were near him. The trip was incredibly well organised and well worth its price! Highly recommended. The communication with Gerrie beforehand was also flawless and we were always helped very quickly. Top team!!
Hi. Eider. Thank you very much for your kind words and endorsement of our services. It remains a great privilege to be able to share our backyard , which is Kruger, with you.
What an absolutely unforgettable day! We booked the full-day safari with Kruger Gate Safaris, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we booked, Gerrie was fantastic to deal with. His communication, organisation, and attention to detail made the whole process effortless. Our guide, Edward, was simply outstanding. His knowledge, passion, and determination to give us the best possible experience resulted in an incredible day of sightings. We were fortunate enough to see 4 of the Big Five, but the highlights were witnessing a cheetah with her cubs feeding on a fresh kill and later seeing a leopard kill as well. Moments we'll never forget. It truly was a bucket-list kind of day, and as my kids said at the end... "Best day ever!" A huge thank you to Gerrie and Edward for creating memories that our family will treasure forever. I can't recommend Kruger Gate Safaris highly enough!
Ilze, it is reviews like this that make us get up with the sole purpose of creating yet another magical day in Kruger. I must give credit to you for you enthusiasm throughout the process. Kruger had her best dress on. We wish you many happy travels.
We had 2 very enjoyable safaris with Kruger Gateway Safaris. Derrick and Doctor were very knowledgeable guides and we highly recommend.
Hi Brian. Thank you very much for rating your safari trips with Derrick and Doctor. I will relay your review to them.
Gerie was extremely prompt in all coordination. The price offered by kruger gateway is very competitive. His driver Derrick was extremely experienced and we had a great time sighting lions, leopards, wild dogs, hyenas , etc over 2 full day safari experiences. I would definitely recommend kruger gateway safari to anyone who is looking for a value for money real safari experience at kruger
Hi Anar. Thanks for taking the time to review your safari trips with Kruger Gateway Safaris. We really appreciate your endorsement of our services. Really glad to hear Derrick impressed you. That is what we strive for. Travel well and enjoy the rest of your time in South Africa.
We did two tours, one full day Safari with Doctor and a sunset safari with Derrick. Absolutely faultless on both days. We were picked up from our lodge promptly and both guides were extremely friendly and both had a great sense of humour. Both were very knowledgeable about the wildlife, giving us lots of information as we drove around the park. They also knew particular spots where we were more likely to sight the animals. After our first day, Gerrie also checked in to ensure we had a good day and to let us know what to ask our guide for on the second drive. Our personal favourite sighting was watching two lions feeding. Altogether an unforgettable experience.
Hi Dan. Thank you for such a comprehensive review. We are extremely happy for you having a seamless experience with Doctor and Derrick. It's challenging, definitely not the norm to use 2 guides for one group. Your attitude towards Nature definitely made our work easy. Thank you, on behalf of the extended Kruger Gateway Safaris team.
Our tour guide was an amazing animal spotter, finding the big five in one safari. He was very friendly and this safari was exactly what we wanted from this experience, especially compared to other safari companies in the area
Hi Cody. Thank you very much for the very kind review of your safari trip with Edward. We only do what we do with passion and respect for Nature. Thank you.
Legend... We joked about that word…Legend. Gerrie laughed (like we did all day). But it’s true, the guy knew everyone…he even speaks “Elephant” …I kid you not. Seriously, you’ve traveled all the way to Africa, then do your safari with a “Legend”. We’ve done a lot of travel, and this day was a “top day”…ever. I don’t know how I could recommend Gerrie Smit more…it was a perfect day.
Hi, now this " legend " is teary eyed. I really appreciate your very kind words. Just remember, good things happen to good people!
