Our guide Lizelle was excellent and very knowledgeable. She went the extra mile to ensure that we saw as many different animals as possible. I am happy to recommend Lion Roar Safaris for your visit to Kruger. I would suggest that you need a minimum of 2 days with 1 night stopover in the park and a night safari.

I had the privilege of spending an entire day in the Kruger Park with Lion Roar Safaris. Lizelle and Lisamarie are both very knowledgeable and were able to not only answer questions but also give extra information on the fauna and flora of the Kruger Park. They knew which routes to take to ensure that we encountered the best that the Park has to offer. This included a leopard with a kill, two lions mating, hordes of buffalo and elephant, rhinos as well as various species birds and trees. Their vehicle is comfortable and when we encountered rain they got soaking wet making sure that we stayed dry. Lion Roar Safaris went the extra mile to ensure that our day was unforgettable. Thank you so much.

We went on Safari on Sunday, 16th Jan, Left the Pick up point at 3. 30am. It rained on our drive from Nelspruit, which we positively welcomed, as part of the adventure!
It did, however stop on our arrival at the park entrance, and we arrived, just in time to take in the stunning sunrise, a rare occurrence for me since I am in no way an early morning person.
We were blessed with amazing sightings, witnessed a near kill or be killed experience of life in the wild. Saw 4 of the big 5. Will be back to find that elusive rhino! Words cannot fully describe the awesomeness of the experience, neither can a camera capture the majesty of the lions, the beauty of the giant elephants, nor the gracefulness of the giraffe.
Our guide Lizelle, and her partner, Liz were amazing. Lizelle was patient, absolutely knowledgeable and just so much fun to be with. Thanks Liz for those sharp eyes that spotted the leopard chilling on a branch on a distant tree.
You guys, Liz and Liz, 😊, made our day. Both so friendly and your passion and love of animals was tangible.
If ever you want to go on safari to KNP, I HIGHLY recommend Lion Roar Safaris. It is an experience you will never forget.
All the very best for the future ladies. Keep making memories.

I'm so glad I discovered Lion Roar whilst searching for a company to do a game drive for us. Their communications with us from the start was spot on.
We were going to be scattering my mom's ashes in the Kruger and wanted a drive that would be able to accommodate this requirement. Liz, our guide, couldn't have been better.
She was sympathetic to our needs and found the right spot for us to scatter the ashes. She even offered to do the recording and take photos.
In terms of the KNP, she is very knowledgeable of the area and the animals ... and she has bionic eyes! We had our best animal sightings in a single day ever!
We would highly recommend Lion Roar

We are so glad we got to book our safari with Lion Roar Safaris. We are South Africans that visited the Kruger Park for the first time. And after our trip I think this will be the first trip of many trips to Kruger Park, as I think the safari bug has bitten.
We fell in love with the beauty and serenity of the Kruger. I never knew what all the hype was about, but now I understand why the park is so famous with local and International travellers. The Kruger makes me proud to be a South African, and visiting this attraction makes me feel blessed to have such a great Park on the African continent.
I just want to thank Lion Roar Safaris for sharing all their bush and animal knowledge with us and helping me to experience my country in the best way I ever experienced. You won't go wrong booking your safari with this company.
We loved that they focus on everything big and small.

Dear Gamelover1970
First and foremost, our team at Lion Roar Safaris would like to commend you for taking the time to write us a review and for sharing your experience with us and other potential travelers that might consider going on safari to the magical Kruger National Park.
From what I read, it seems that LUCK was really on your side! It is not always possible to see as many species as you did in one day! Especially Leopard, Lion, Wild Dogs and Cape buffalo, and this during the rainy season, when everything is lush, dense and green! Most animals are so well hidden during the summer rainy season (approximately October – March) as there is ample food and water and plenty of good places to hide away from prying eye and excited travelers wanting to see as many animals as possible.
We are delighted that you had a pleasant and memorable safari experience in Kruger National Park and we are even more thrilled that we could make this experience possible and that we could be a part of that.
Wishing you more luck on your journey in life and wherever it may take you next.
Kind Regards
The Lion Roar Team

Dear Carolina,
Thank you for all your kind words and compliments about your exceptional Field Guide Liz, you can be sure that we will pass on the compliments to her.
We would also like to thank you for choosing us to take you and your sister on safari as well as for writing us a review and recommending our brand and service to other people, this really means a great deal to us.
We are happy that you had a great time with Liz; she, as well as our other guides always try their best to portray the bush and tell the stories of each animal in the best they can. We are very blessed to have a great team that is passionate about what they do, above all they love what they do and it shows.
Take care and we hope to take you to Kruger again one day should you visit SA again!

I booked with Lion Roar Safaris, from the moment I enquired about availability until the end when I waved my guide goodbye it was professional, and very well executed.
I will recommend them above any other safari operator for a safari in Kruger Park! Hands down they are unique in everyway, putting wildlife first keeping it natural, and letting Mother Nature shine. The guide is polite, punctual, and respectful and she knows what she's doing. Trust the process, sit back and relax, oh, and be patient. It's nature after all...
I have been on several other safaris, but none like this company, you can see it's not about money and seeing how many people they can get, but rather they create an unforgettable experience, and one that's affordable and well worth my hard-earned cash.
We were a small group. On the day we saw a decent amount of wildlife and different species. We didn't see the whole Big Five, but our guide taught us so many things and pointed out so many things that we would have otherwise missed. We appreciated that and soon we forgot about the pressure of seeing lions, which is of course not a guarantee, and we understood that.
It was not a rushed safari like the ones I had been on before with other operators, thank goodness! Best safari I have ever had the privilege of joining. Thank you, It was wonderful.
Thank you Tanya and Liz and whoever else is making the wheels turn at Lion Roar Safaris, we will be back...

They made sure we experience it all from the smallest insect till the big 5, they made sure they shared their knowledge of mother nature attention to detail to us all. Truly something to put on your bucket list. Book your Safari with them today!
