  We had the most unforgettable 3-day, 4-night safari in Kruger National Park with Wade as our guide for our honeymoon, and he was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, we were impressed—the van was spotless, modern, and spacious, making the long drives so comfortable. Our first stop was Crocodile Bridge Camp, which was incredible—we even had elephants and giraffes right in front of camp! Each day was packed with adventure, with morning, evening/sunset, and night drives. Some were in open vehicles with camp guides, and others in the van with Wade, giving us the best of both worlds. We were lucky enough to see every animal imaginable, including unforgettable up-close encounters with lions and leopards. Wade went above and beyond—not only as a guide but also as our chef. He prepared every meal with so much care. Breakfasts included eggs, bacon, and toast or fresh fruit and granola; lunches and snacks were always ready; and dinners were incredible with salads, sides, and the most delicious barbecues. Every meal was better than the last. We also stayed at Orpen Camp, which was another highlight of the trip. This safari exceeded every expectation—we can’t recommend Wade highly enough!

  

  

  

  

  

• A well managed tour

  This was a great tour well managed by Wayne and the knowledgeable driver Lucky. All accomodations were excellent (but take your own shampoos etc) and the meals were great too. Kruger is a massive park, a more natural environment than some of the private estates; expect long travels and then wonderful periods of animals in a natural environment. Do not expect a safari park or zoo. We saw the Big 5 with really close up leopards and lion plus 2 bull elephants fighting and great buffalo herds.

  

  

  

• Amazing Kruger safari

  Overall a great experience from the pick up at joburg airport by Wade , though a long drive, would advise flying to Nelspruit if you have the option, as much closer to Kruger. Wade was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The camps were basic but clean with well stocked shops , all you really need as you don’t sleep much, because of the early/late safaris. We saw the big 5 within 1.5 hrs on the first evening safari then saw the big five another two times . Wade and the assigned safari guides know exactly where to take you to see the ever moving beautiful animals you hope to see but are never guaranteed. We will go back again to North Kruger did south this time . South in March is very lush and dense , so we were lucky to see big 5 three times. Only thing we didn’t see which hopefully we will see in the winter in the north is cheetahs. Would highly recommend the company. Thanks Wade and the team.

  My girlfriend and I did this safari and thoroughly enjoyed it, and it surpassed our expectations. As we had our guide personal guide, he could tailor our experience to our needs as he had an in-depth knowledge of Kruger Park. We saw the Big 5 and many more animals. The door-to-door service for the collection and drop off was fantastic, as other providers just put you on a coach. I would highly recommend this.

  The Tour was actually a year ago (October 2023). I thought my review was sent but somehow it did not show up, so I am writing it again to make sure is here now. We were 4 in the tour (all adults). Flew from Atlanta to Johannesburg. Stay there one night and the next morning Rhys picked us up and we drove to Kruger Park. Rhys is such a friendly and professional individual . The drive from Johan. To the park was great because Rhys as telling us history about South Africa and all about what we were going to be doing for 4 days, expectations, animals. Etc. Love the fact that we did not have to worry abou anything at all during those 4 days. The “cabins” that we stayed every night were great! Beds were comfortable. We had tours to see the animals with the park and we also had our own private tours with him few times a day (day, afternoon, evening - so you could see different animals). Love the fact that in the morning (you have to leave to see the animals before the sun comes out so you can see them waking up- an experience that you will never forget!). The professional driver/tour person will pick you up and drive . Then after few hours , they will stop in places in the park and there was Rhys cooking fresh breakfast for us ! It was so much fun. They also cooked dinner few times in the BBQ outside , set up the table in the cabins, with salads, wine, etc… it was fun, it was quiet , it was relaxing! We stayed in different locations and cabins within the park during the tour so we could see different types of animals. They were always on time. What i love the most is the fact that with this private tour, you are in control of time and don’t need to worry about anything. They take care of entrance fees, tour time, etc. Had an amazing time , drove us back to Johanna and we left back to US the next morning. We spent few days in Cape Town before we took this amazing tour. Having a private tour with just your own family/friends makes a huge difference! No worries, spend as much time as you want to watching the animals , taking pictures. The professionalism of Rhys and his crew was amazing . Thank you for such a once in a lifetime experience. Note: once you are planning the tour with them, you do want to go over what are your preferences when it comes to food, (breakfast/lunch/dinner) so they can be prepare like they were prepare for us.

  We are really happy with the company, from the begining they answered all our doubts quickly giving all the information that we needed. The safari planning was perfect. The safari has been amazing, Tommy is an incredible guide, he has a lot of knowledges about the country, the animals, the park… He tried to make it possible for us to see as many animals as possible, including the Big five, and he got it thanks to his effort. The camp sites were very good, the food quality… In summary everything was wonderful. If we have the opportunity to come back to South Africa, you'll be the first option

• Fantastic trip!

  We had a terrific safari. Our guide was excellent and we saw many, many animals. He was especially willing to take us out at different times and seemed to be able to find animals everywhere. All food, accommodation and transportation was provided. Our guide was a decent cook and we enjoyed the meals. The accommodations were not fancy but very comfortable and clean with modern bathrooms and showers. At the end of our safari, our guide took us to the airport to fly to Victoria Falls. We then spent 3 days at Victoria Falls, which was also booked by Endless Summer. I would highly recommend this company. Very good value for the money.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Absolutely Perfect Safari

  If you are looking for a company to arrange an African Safari look no further! From our first contact with Endless Summer to the drop off at the airport at the end of our four night stay in Kruger everything, I mean absolutely everything was perfect! Rhys answered my many questions immediately and guided us through the booking process with ease, even when I had difficulty with my bank making payment. He patiently arranged payment through my credit card account. We were so fortunate to be promptly greeted at our Johannesburg hotel by Wade. What a stellar experience Wade provided us over the next five days! The drive to Kruger was very picturesque with the many changes in terrain. Wade has an unbelievable knowledge of everything his country has to offer. Once we entered the park we were immediately immersed in a variety of animals and birds that Wade gave us an overview of each animal and bird that we encountered throughout our trip. Wade arranged all our sunrise and sunset jeep trips with the local guides and cooked all of our meals! Which were all delicious! What more could you ask for?!? When we were not doing the jeep tours we spent the rest of our days driving in our personal van with Wade as he shared his vast knowledge of the animals and birds. Thank you Endless Summer for arranging such a perfect Safari! We cannot thank Wade enough for providing us with our trip of our lifetime. We met you as our driver and guide and left you as our new friend! Many thanks!

  

  

  

  

• Unmatched Kruger Experience

  This was an absolute 5 star experience! I would recommend a tour with Rhys and Wade to strangers and friends alike. The trip to South Africa was a bit outside our comfort zone and Rhys’ responsiveness, knowledge, and help during the booking and planning process made this big trip feel more approachable. Rhys and Wade’s flexibility and focus on our small group’s wants and priorities was a huge benefit of this trip as opposed to being on a a larger, more structured group tour. From the commutes between JBurg and Kruger, to the homemade meals, expert animal sightings, unmatched Kruger knowledge, and little things like providing a surprise birthday treat for my fiancé and hearing our favorite veggies in discussion and serving them for dinner the next night, we felt safe and well cared for! We will 100% be back for another safari one day and Rhys and Wade will be our first call!

  No need to look at any other companies. Endless Summer is great! Rhys was very responsive during the planning process and focuses on making the Safari custom to exactly what you are looking for. He is a great cook and very knowledgeable about the animals, as is Wade who also was a guide on our trip. Highly recommend - our group loved the safari in Kruger.
