Amanda is exceptionally considerate to nature, most sensible guide I’ve ever worked with. It was an amazing 14 day experience in Kruger… thanks Nhongo. The experience was true to their motto “arrive as strangers, leave as friends.”

My solo trip with Nhongo Safaris was super. Right from the start, the owners, Dean and Verity, impressed me with their quick and communicative approach. They were extremely accommodating throughout the trip, going above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed myself.

Our guide, Jurie, was personable and great company! His extensive knowledge and genuine passion for wildlife added a whole new level of enjoyment to the safari. Moreover, when an illness forced me to depart the tour a little early, Jurie, Dean and Verity accommodated my needs with utmost understanding and support.

The accommodations in the camp are basic, but cover all your needs for one night. and as its located right in the park, you can hit the road early and get back out with the animals.

In summary, my safari experience with Nhongo Safaris was super. Their friendly and helpful service, coupled with their expertise and dedication to responsible travel, left me with lasting memories. I highly recommend Nhongo Safaris to anyone seeking a safari adventure.

We just finished a truly amazing 2 day trip to Kruger National Park! Our guide Jure was fantastic! Since we had a very short time he made sure to provide us with so much information and try his best to go to all the hot spots were the animals might be, and he did not disappoint! We could not have even dreamed of accomplishing as much as we did on this short Safari! I know most of it was just pure luck, but Jure’s 25 years of experience in the park made the world of difference in getting to experience the animals in their natural habitat! Not only was Jure great, but so was the whole Nhongo team. Their slogan is “Arrive as strangers, and leave as friends” and they truly live by this motto. Some of the most hospitable and kind people we’ve ever met! Highly recommend this company and Jure to anyone going to Kruger! Just wish we had more time!!

Our 14 day stay at the Kruger National Park was absolutely amazing! We drove around the forest, morning and afternoon, everyday with the wonderful knowledge sharer and guide, Amanda. It was a great experience to explore not only Shingwedzi, but also the northern region of the park with Nhongho Safaris.
