5.0/5Our day safari with Khalanga Safaris was truly fantastic. From the very first moment, everything radiated professionalism and passion. Our guide was not only extremely knowledgeable but also warm and enthusiastic, which created a welcoming and adventurous atmosphere throughout the day. We saw an impressive variety of wild animals and received fascinating explanations about their behavior and habitat. The organization was flawless.

My husband and I had an incredible week traveling around Kruger with Prince and a really lovely experience coordinating and booking the experience with Thamia. We did the 6-Day Safari with Night Drive, River Safari, and Panorama Route Tour in May 2025. The Panorama Route Tour was a gorgeous way to spend the last parts of our drive from Johannesburg and get to know Prince before spending the week together. Prince was an incredible guide with a TON of knowledge that he was always willing to share with us. We got to see the Big 5 and Prince was very patient in helping us try to spot the elusive rhino. I would highly recommend Khalanga and Prince for your Kruger safari.

We had a wonderful experience with Khalanga. We did the panorama route (breathtaking) with 3 days in Kruger National Park. Shoes was our guide and he was exceptional. He has an incredibly unique perspective as his family lived on the land that is now Kruger National Park for many generations and lived with the animals. He intimately knows animals, their behaviours, tracks, calls (including being able to mimic bird calls), you name it. He is passionate, informative and a joy to spend time with. We felt privileged to be able to see the park through Shoes's incredibly unique perspective. Khalanga safaris is the way to go. You will have an incredible experience.
Sophie · Australia
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights/6day Kruger safari with Shoes at Khalanga Safaris. Pre trip communication was excellent and the accommodation,food and guided drives were top quality. Shoe’s knowledge of the park and its numerous inhabitants is most impressive and his description of animal behaviours was wonderful. We were a party of 3 adults all with experience of African safaris in the past and agreed that Shoes and Khalanga was the perfect match for us. Would recommend for an authentic Kruger Safari experience.
