Jan is an unbelievable guide. Years of knowledge from working in research, conservation, walking tours and now game drives. He will bring out his book to show you which birds you’ve seen, not that he needs it, he seems to know every animal, insect etc from hundreds of feet away. We had the most wonderful day, saw everything and more that we could have hoped on our full day at Kruger with Jan. He even brings coffee and husks for you to eat and drink around 10am (which you need after the early start). You always feel safe and well looked after. Would 100% recommend.

This was an absolutely unbelievable tour - easily the best day on my trip to South Africa. Jan picked us up from our hotel at 5:30am and drove us to Kruger, for an all day safari. His vehicle is ready for everything - the sides can be attached if there’s wind or rain, the front can be opened up, and there were blankets if needed.
With all the rain and wind Kruger had received, we weren’t sure that we would see much, but Jan did everything he could to find hiding spots and give us the best chance to find what we were looking for. He has SO much knowledge about Kruger and all the animals. Even during the coffee break and lunch, he answered all our questions and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend we’ve known for years.
BOOK THIS TOUR - it is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed!

Had an amazing day with Jan in Kruger! As all the other reviews have mentioned, he truly is an expert guide with a wealth of information but also a very friendly and caring person. My wife and I loved our experience from pickup at sunrise to drop off at sunset, and Jan really tailored the experience to what we were hoping to see. Can’t wait to visit Kruger again and will 100% be giving Jan a call!

Had a wonderful tour through kruger park with 3 other friends.
Jan is a great spotter and can see the animals from a huge distance, even the leopard was not a problem for him.
We learned a lot about the animals and stoped twice for a breakfast and lunch break and visit at the museum.
Would definitely recommend him.

This day safari in the Kruger National Park was absolutely outstanding. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystem was truly impressive. He shared his expertise with enthusiasm and kept us enthralled throughout the day with fascinating insights. We feel very fortunate to have had the privilege of learning from such a knowledgeable guide. He truly exceeded our expectations and made this safari a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for everything!

We had an incredible safari tour led by Jan, who was an amazing guide! We were thrilled to see lions up close, and even spotted a cheetah, which was a rare treat. Jan's bottomless knowledge of the wildlife and the park made the experience educational and exciting. We saw so many different animals, all in their natural habitat. This safari exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thanks, Jan! K & T

We made a day excursion to the Kruger Park, accompanied by Jan, our guide, who knew exactly where the animals could be and had a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna, like a living encyclopedia. We enjoyed it immensely and saw countless animal species. Thanks again, Jan; we highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to explore the Kruger Park.
