Andrew organized our first safari (ever) in Kruger National Park and it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide for the 4 night, 3 day trip was excellent - highly knowledgeable, passionate and fantastic personality. We learned so much (history, wildlife, floral and fauna) and saw so much - our minds are blown. Would call on Andrew again for any future safaris in this region.

My family recently did a full day Safari with Andrew and it could not have been a better day. Andrew is enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable and never seemed to tire of answering our questions about the animals or the park itself. If we had more time, we would have loved to do another day with Andrew as I cannot possibly imagine another guide doing a better job.

My friends and I did a custom safari tour with Andrew in April 2023 and it was epic.
From our first meeting at the airport to our last goodbye Andrew was full of positive energy and enthusiasm. His passion for his job, the park and the animals that inhabit it is honestly inspiring.
Everything was super well organised with enough downtime to relax and enjoy the hotel. Andrew expertly fielded questions on mating rituals, possible Lion King plot issues, Megan, Harry & Prince Andrew and the patriarchy. Impressive.
I honestly couldn't recommend Andrew more highly - our safaria with him was the trip of a lifetime

Had a phenomenal time with Safaria last week in Kruger. This is our 2nd trip with them and it will not be the last. The family members that joined us this year had just as good a time as we did last year. Andrew is very knowledgeable on the animals and the park. He is very informative and a pleasure to be with. We spent a couple days in the Satara area with him then a couple more days in southern Kruger. If given the opportunity to spend some time with Safaria you will not regret it. Any questions let me know.

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.

I recently spent 4 days in Kruger with Andy W, as a solo traveller, and can honestly say the whole experience was fantastic. Andy has passion and an intimate knowledge of the local ecology, making our tour much more than just sightseeing. It was a learning experience as well. He has an eye for spotting game others will miss enabling you to see things without the crowds at times, and maximising the personalised experience. In the limited time I had in the park he was able to tailor our trip to maximise viewing opportunities whilst maintaining a flexible approach based on my preferences.

Thanks so much for the feedback Chris, was great spending the time with you and sharing Kruger and its diversity. Who said that a Saffa and an Aussie cant have a few cans and enjoy the wide open spaces together!
Great spending time with you, i hope in the future we can roll out the swags and hit the drink for some fish off exmouth.
Regards
Andrew

You know that saying, "spending time in nature is healing energy" - well that couldn't be more true for this experience. Andrew is not only a guide who is packed with the knowledge on the biodiversity at Kruger, but he is PASSIONATE about Kruger, and life and nature and humans! Thank You Andrew for not only making this a fun experience for my 3-year toddler-twins, but for also allowing me the time to process my own thoughts against the stunning backdrop of the Lowveld. Your professionalism and the ease it took us to get in and out of the park did not go unnoticed. To those Kruger novices out there, if you have kids under 5 and you're a little nervous about taking them on a game drive experience, trust me don't be, when you're with Andrew you're in safe hands - so go for it! Your kids will be talking about it for days after.

We planned our trip to Africa more than 18 months in advance. We came across Safaria on TripAdvisor a so glad we did. Andrew was great in answering our many question and providing guidance as the trip neared. We got to experience our 4 days with them with 3 guides and all were fabulous. It was also great visiting/ hearing about their time in Kruger and other places in Africa. All of them tried their best to deliver what we wanted to see. Using their knowledge of the park/ land as well as noticing tracks when we got in those areas.
Our experience was unbelievable over the 4 days and I know they nor any guide company can guarantee sightings, but we felt like both Hylton and Andrew both would have still delivered many if the animals did not cooperate as they did. Over the 4 days we saw 5 Rhinos, 7 Leopards, Cheetah, Buffalo, over 30 Lions including a complete pride and several feeding, tons of Ellies, tons of Giraffes, Hippos, Crocs, Kudu and on and on. Don't hold it against them if you aren't this lucky as when we shared many were shocked with the quantity seen.
We are already talking about a future trip to Kruger and Andrew/ Safaria will definitely be involved in our trip.
They were great!

Early this year, I took an incentive group to Kruger Shalati: The train on the bridge.
Being an event producer, I always find it challenging to create a bespoke, one-of-a-kind experience that is different from the limited activities and excursions available in the Kruger National Park.
My objective was to create an experience that correlated with my project narrative, create activities and excursions that has not been done before and ultimately deliver an experience that is memorable, unforgettable, and inspiring. We succeeded and the client LOVED IT! This would not have been possible without the guidance, handwork and dedication from the Safaria team.
I would highly recommend Andrew and his team!
