4-Day Kruger National Park Safari from Johannesburg

My husband was scheduled to attend a conference in Johannesburg so I flew over to meet up with him after his work was done. We always plan trips ourselves and take pride in exploring new countries but this time we knew we wouldn’t have time to figure everything out ourselves and booked with Endless Summer. So glad we did. No way would we have been able to navigate all the details as well as these guys did. They treat you well and take all the stress out of the trip. From the minute Wade picked us up at our hotel he took care of everything! We highly recommend these guys and Wade for sure.

We booked a private 4 night Kruger Safari tour with Endless Summer Tours for my daughter and me. I am so glad we booked a private tour. The experience was amazing. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and Rhys was an exceptional tour guide who customized the itinerary around what we wanted to see. Not to mention, he is an amazing cook. You will not leave hungry. I would highly recommend this trip with Endless Summer Tours. You will not be disappointed.

Its a daunting affair to chose a safari company, when you have never been in South Africa, let alone Kruger park before. After getting offers from 4 different companies, and days of online research, we chose Endless Summer Tours. They were not the cheapest, nor the most expensive. But after reading a blog post on their website, we were pretty sure they were the best at what they do. This only became more obvious after a short email corespindance with Rhys, who answered all our questions promptly. Our guide, Steve Morris, was just amazing. We were traveling with our 4 year old daughter, and he had made sure he had enough snacks and child friendly food with him to feed a whole kindergarten! The camps that they had chosen were just incredible. Sitting in the pool and watching a family of elephants drinking from the watering hole just outside the fence, was incredible. The food that Steve would cook was too good. I must have gained 5 kilos in those 4 days! And the wine he had selected was perfect. We especially liked the wine with the rhino logo, that I am not allowed to name here. Most of our game drives were done in Endless Summers very comfortable SUV, with Steve as driver and spotter. We also did 2 game drives in open vehicles organised by the park. I will say its fun to try (especially the sunrise drive), but 2 was enough. It is much easier to take good photos, when Steve is behind the wheel, and he can position the car just right. As for all wildlife watching, there are obviously no guarantees. We did manage the big 5 on day one, and again on day 2! But also got photos of hyenas, wild dogs, wildebeest, bush baby, ostrich, the inevitable Impala and much more. Steve can spot anything, and he is a genuine joy to cruise around with. Big thanks to Endless Summer, Rhys and Steve for an unforgettable safari trip.
