Brilliant experience! - Myself, my partner and our 2yr old had a full day Safari tour guided by Kyle today and we can’t recommend this experience enough. Kyle was absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable, accommodating and patient with our little boy. Kyle managed to show us 4 out of the big 5 within the first couple of hours of being on the park due to his superb knowledge of the animals and the park. The braai in the bush was lovely and was a fab touch to a lovely day. Since the minute we booked this tour we knew we’d made the right decision, Nele was so helpful and again very accommodating and supported us to book the right tour for us. Will recommend to all family and visitors.

A remarkable experience with devoted rangers and majestic wildlife - The safari topped our expectations in every sense thanks to our lovely ranger, Jabu. He passionately taught us about the behaviour of the animals while we were watching them. You could tell he carried a deep love for nature. At noon Jabu cooked us a delicious braai that we ate while watching a herd of elephants cross the river. The park and its wildlife are absolutely breathtaking. This was a remarkable experience and I would rebook it in a heartbeat. Thank you Jabu for this wonderful memory! Kind regards Anna & Fre (Belgium)

The best time of our trip with TK - We did full day tour with TK last year and I’m still thinking about it till this day. How lucky we were to have this guide. From the moment of pick up I knew it’s gonna be amazing time. TK was so open to us, fooling around and at the same time sharing the knowledge he has. He took us to the best spots in the park thanks to which we saw rhinos just next to us. This was the highlight of the trip and I couldn’t recommend it more! Wish I could do it all over again.

Great experience at Hluee Hluee iMfolozi Park - We had a great day with our guide Phindy. She conjured us a great breakfast and lunch (barbecue). Your explanations and tips made the day perfect. We could even observe cheetahs. It was just beautiful.

Elephant whisperer - We went on a safari with Kyle and we had such an amazing tour with him. He has extreme knowledge of wildlife and no matter what question we asked he had answers for us. He has a way with animals and he seems to speak with them and they listen. We went to have lunch at the most stunning and relaxing views. He made an amazing lunch and always made sure we had everything we needed. I don't believe there was more than 5 minutes of silence, Kyle remained engaged with us and had some good jokes. We arrived as strangers and left feeling like family. The next time we go on a safari we will request that Kyle be our guide and we will recommend him to everyone we know.

Braai King and Best tour guide Kyle - Went on a full day big 5 safari into the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi park with Kyle as the guide. He showed me a different side to nature. His knowledge and his love shows in how he explains everything. He has such a good sence of humor and even better braai skills. I am not a morning person but getting up and going on such an adventure from 5am was well worth it. I look forward to going on future tours with Kyle when i visit st lucia again. This tour made my stay memorable.

A wonderful day in Imfolozi - Rising early in our stay at St. Louis. Lucia where we are picked up for what is going to be a wonderful experience in Imfolozi. We have the misfortune that it rains on departure but the ponchos and blankets ensure that we stay dry and warm. After a stop at Nyalazi Gate , the adventure begins... Our Ranger, a child from the wilderness as he says himself, is very passionate and talks fascinatingly about all the animals we see. The "big 5" we didn't fully spot, but that didn't make our day any less fantastic. We saw so many other animals including a cheetah. Breakfast and the braai for lunch were the perfect time to exchange experiences with our fellow travelers and to be amazed by so much beauty around us. After a day that will be remembered for a long time, we are dropped off at our lodge again.
