Best decision and great safari

5.00This safari was amazing! Everything was super well coordinated including clear avdance communication. I didnt have super high expectations of a one day economic safari, but it was as good as any multi day or higher end tour. My guide Alfainho was incredible, super friendly and generous in sharing his knowledge, and generally just good vibes all around to spend a day with. He spotted all sorts of wildlife, and I saw as much if not more animals as I have on many other safaris. While sightings can never be guaranteed as its up to nature, Kruger definitely delivers and its totally possible to see a diverse array of incredible wildlife and big 5 no matter where you go in the park if youre lucky. Amongst some of the many many animals I saw, there was lion who just made a wildabeast kill, elephants, buffalo and just missed a leopard and cub and therr were reported sightings of cheetahs on the routes we travelled.
Eccellent

5.00This has been the best day of my Mozambique trip. I stayed in Maputo and got picked up from my accomodation. Don't be afraid of an early pick-up (5 AM). It will all be worth it! Border cross was smoth as. No worries for a EU-citizen. Kruger is amazing, don't let other people tell you otherwise. There might be a high amount of 'common' animals, but still, it is an amazing site for my first real safari. We saw: heaps of: elephans/giraffes/wildebeest/zebras/impalas/monkeys/hippo's. We were lucky to catch a lion with 3 chubs, which is not a common thing. Service fom Maputo tours was good, I had a very experienced ranger who took its responsibility to spot as much animals as possible in one day. Even after 5 hours of driving around (in 38 degrees). I would recommend this again to everyone!
Highly recommended expert social guide

5.00I had a great tour guide who helped me understand both the culture of Mozambique and Kruger park animal behavior. We had a great time and good memories. Seeing lions, giraffes, hippopotamus, baboons, elephants and various other animals. He is great with people and expertly navigated a busy border crossing minimizing wait times.
The best you can get if you have only one day to visit Kruger

Easy Way to See Beautiful Kruger from Maputo

4.00I spent a lovely day in Kruger with a very dedicated and easy going guide Alfainho. He was very professional and we found a lot of great animals - the cats were eluding us but he made an incredible effort to find them. Kruger is beautiful and the lunch spot was tasty with excellent service. Depending on the day you go the border could take a bunch of time. In the morning it was speedy but on our return we spent a long time in line. It was a fantastic day trip from Maputo.
Best day safari!

5.00Alphaino was amazing he was prompt to timings and very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the border crossing stress free and easy. On the safari we were lucky to have a guide who was originally a travkwr and he was incredible at finding animals. We managed 4/5 of the big 5 and had one of the best lion sightings we’ve seen. Thank you for a great day!
One amazing day into the wild

5.00Perfect day ! The kruger park is full of wild animals and amazing nature and landscapes. The day has been made perfect mainly because of the driver and guide we had. Alfaindo was helpful, super kind/nice and dedicated to reaching places / wild animals and we've seen 15 different species from buffalos, to impalas, girafes, elans, kudus, elephants, etc etc! Also ! The food stop was nice and with beautiful landscape ! The pick up was on time and we spend a bit more time than expected in the park. So long story short ! I can only recommend that day trip !
