The best game drive we ever had! Thank you Hennie! - We had the day of our live. Bernard and his brother Hennie are the best game drivers you can wish. It is their passion and the show true respect for the animals, their habitat and the nature.
We had seen 4 of the big 5 the day before when we went ourselves into the park. So, we asked Hennie if it was possible to see the Rhino. Hennie knew the area where hitrate was potentially highest, he took us there and we were lucky to see 8 rhino's. The nice thing if you have a professional guide, is you don't have to worry where to go, they share live info where the animals are and you have a much beter experience.
Hennie explained everything very well during the drive. On top he made a lot of professiol pictures that were sent to us afterwards.
So, if you want the best game drive, we would certainly recommend Bernard or Hennie. And last but not least: the offer a very fair price.

Kruger beyond just a drive - Great trip out with Hennie on this beautiful day. Booking was fuss free with quick and helpful response from the team. Hennie's experience and passion for the drive made the experience a knowledgeable and memorable trip. Thank you

Top experience, clearly to repeat. - Great experience. Jens was a great and professional guide, he would go out of his way to provide a great experience. Pick up and deliver sharp on time, selective pick of roads and timing for the best sightings. I use to drive on my own, but renting a full day safari for family and friends is a great idea for personal comfort and superior sightings and learning.

Excellent safari with unforgettable memories - It was one in a lifetime experience! We travelled in a group of 15 that was split into two vehicles. Our driver and ranger was Hennie, the other one was Jan who speaks German and could take care of our group members who are less fluent in English.
When we entered the park, the guy at the entrance told us that Hennie would be the best guide we could get - and he was right!
Hennie was fully committed to showing us the best what Kruger NP can offer. He scanned the area with his binoculars, shared them with us and arranged the vehicle the best he could so that each one of our group had a good view. You can tell he lives his job. He knows the details about the animals and plants and he was absolutely helpful with any question we asked him. It was a fantastic day! Our toher group members told us the same about Jan.
On the following day, we took another full day Kruger safari with a company that our travel agency had arranged for us - what a disappointment. It cost three times the price and the driver was not really interested in showing us anything apart from the usual. He "sped" through the park, and we often had to tell him to please stop when we saw animals. He only explained little and we had the impression he was doing his job, but nothing more.
We hope to return one of these days and then definitely book well in advance with Jan and Hennie.
Thanks guys for an unforgettable time!

Fantastic expereience on a full day safari - We had a great experience with Private Kruger Safaris and highly recommend Jens as a guide and driver. We traveled with three kids 9, 10, 12, and the entire experience was perfect. Jens was knowledgeable and answered all the questions from the kids and adults. We felt that Jens was respectful of the habitats and we were safe during the entire day. Originally we only booked one full day safari, but we had such a good experience that we booked a second trip the same week.

Great day with Private Kruger safaris! - Our full day safari with Hennie was a really special experience. On our trip we were not only provided with the most important details about the animals we saw, but Hennie was also really determined to show us everything there was to see in the park. We saw all of the Big Five in one day and also saw some painted dogs and many more animals. When it started raining, he provided us with rain ponchos.
I would really recommend booking a game drive through Private Kruger safaris as everybody on our drive had a really great experience.

Had a fantastic tour with many sightings - I booked the private day trip. Hennie was our guide. We were on the road for about 12 hours and it was fantastic! Not only were we very lucky that we saw a lot of animals. But Hennie told a lot about the animals in the park and about Kruger itself.
It was a cold and wet day when we had the Safari. But Hennie had brought blankets, which we gratefully used. There were also plenty of coffee and toilet breaks.
Had a fantastic day!

Great experience: just book it! - Best trip ever! Hennie was our guide and he found us so many animals! He talked about what we saw, he knows a lot about the animals and Kruger.
We stopped regularly for a coffee and bathroom break. Hennie made sure the car was parked in the correct spot, so we could see a lot, but also because I enjoy to make photos. We had bad weather, it was very cold. Hennie took some good blankets with him, which was very pleasant. We have had the best time.

Epic Kruger adventure - A brilliant start to our 8 day visit to Kruger National Park. Our guide Jens was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the park. We experienced some unforgettable moments with animals in the wild. Can't wait to go back and will definitely be booking another tour PK Safaris

Great professionality in game drive - Great mastery in game drive. Our driver was Jens. Super. He knew what to do in any occasion we met in order to provide us the best angle for shooting, even in hard situation. He knows the behavier of any animals and try to anticipate their movement so we can catch the best photos.
