Our guide Jason was great. We spent 3 days with him with the full day and morning safari. I highly appreciate his professional services, his explanation of the animals, he works with his empathy and enthousiam to find the animals (the Lions as it's not easy to locate them) as he know most of the guests won't be able to come back again. I value him as an excellent guide especially come to respecting the animals which is important to respect the ecosystem. We were very satisfied, it's a costly trip but it worths. Kurt Safari also provided the 3 nights accomodation in Umbhaba eco lodge - it was great and better than I expected in terms of cleaners and the BBQ buffrt evening which 10/10. The lodge is also very ecology friendly with paper instead of plastic. Overall, Great tour! We saw Lions very close, thanks again Jason! We saw lots of Elephants (80+ for the two days), hippopotamus, zebra, lots of different species of antilope, etc
It was amazing! Sammy did a great job!

We had the best time! And the best guide!!! He was kind and went the extra mile to ensure we saw all of the big 5. He was also SO knowledgable. Can’t recommend asking for DiDi for your tour. He’s funny too and a South African native :)

We had an amazing experience with Kurt Safari and can highly recommend this company. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transfer from Johannesburg to the daily tour pickups, which were always on time. A special thank you to our guide, Nhlamulo, who accompanied us for five days. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. His knowledge was incredible, and he was able to answer every question we had about the wildlife in great detail. His passion and dedication made our safari truly unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Kurt Safari team for such a wonderful experience!

La nostra esperienza con Kurt Safari è stata ancora una volta eccellente. Ottima la comunicazione con Christa via e-mail e WhatsApp fin dalla prenotazione: informazioni sempre precise, puntuali e complete. Durante i nostri tre giorni a Hazyview abbiamo scelto di partecipare a due safari di gruppo. Il secondo, e ultimo, era un safari di mezza giornata. Remember, la nostra guida di domenica 19/07/2026, è venuta a prenderci alla guest house all’orario stabilito e, per ottimizzare i tempi, ci ha fatto compilare i moduli d’ingresso direttamente in macchina prima di arrivare ai cancelli del parco. Siamo entrati nel Kruger alle 6 in punto e da quel momento è stata pura meraviglia. Nelle prime due ore abbiamo fatto avvistamenti incredibili, incontrando da vicino un leone e ben tre leopardi, l’unico Big Five che ancora ci mancava dopo i giorni precedenti. Dopo la colazione è arrivata un’altra sorpresa: un incontro del tutto inaspettato con un quarto leopardo, un avvistamento davvero eccezionale e rarissimo che ha reso questa mattinata ancora più speciale. Per il resto abbiamo visto tantissimi altri animali e Remember ci ha accompagnato con spiegazioni interessanti sulla fauna, sulla flora e sul comportamento delle diverse specie. Consigliamo vivamente Kurt Safari e anche la guida Remember, che con la sua esperienza e disponibilità ha reso indimenticabile la nostra ultima mattinata nel Kruger National Park. Un’esperienza che porteremo con noi per sempre. —- Our experience with Kurt Safari was once again excellent. Communication with Christa via email and WhatsApp was outstanding from the moment we booked. She always provided clear, accurate, and timely information. During our three days in Hazyview, we chose to join two group safaris. The second and final one was a half-day safari. Remember, our guide on Sunday, 19 July 2026, picked us up from our guesthouse right on time and, to save time at the park entrance, had us complete the entry forms in the vehicle before we reached the gates. We entered Kruger National Park at exactly 6:00 a.m., and from that moment on it was pure magic. Within the first two hours, we enjoyed some incredible sightings, including a lion and no fewer than three leopards—the only Big Five animal we had not managed to see during the previous days. After breakfast came another surprise: a completely unexpected encounter with a fourth leopard, an exceptionally rare sighting that made this morning even more special. Throughout the rest of the safari, we saw many more animals, and just as during our first game drive, Remember shared fascinating insights about the local wildlife, flora, and the behaviour of the different species. We highly recommend Kurt Safari and our guide, Remember, whose experience, knowledge, and friendliness made our final morning in Kruger National Park truly unforgettable. It is an experience we will always remember.

We had an amazing morning safari with Rufus! He helped us spot 4 of the Big Five in just one morning, as well as many other incredible animals, including wild dogs. Throughout the drive, he shared fascinating facts about the wildlife and made the experience both educational and exciting. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
