Big 5 Safari from Maputo !

5.00Great time at Kruger National Park ! Picked up from Maputo by Charles, a great professional driver and aided in the crossing of the border in South Africa. Total trip time to Kruger was roughly 3 hours including passport control. From there I was met by Doctor, my guide for two days who over the two days shared great insight into all of the animals we managed to spot, including all of the big 5! Two full days out exploring, including lunch for both days. For the overnight stay l was hosted in Crocodile Kruger Safari lodge, a lodge down the river with river views in Marloth Park, nice cosy and quiet lodge with dinner included. Overall a perfect two days and would definitely recommend this trip and Maputo tours if in the region! Many thanks !
Alfainho great driver

5.00Would highly recommend this two-day trip of Kruger National Park from Maputo. Everything from pick-up at our Airbnb in Maputo to crossing the border and exploring the park went extremely smoothly. Our driver, Alfainho, was professional and kind. Our guide, Mercy, was extremely personable and has > 8 years as a Kruger park ranger and tour guide and drove safely around the park, helping us spot lions, a leopard, and countless other animals. She introduced to South African food as well as told us stories about her past experience as a ranger. Food and drink at all stops were paid for and made for well-timed breaks. Would definitely choose this group again next time I return to Kruger.
An experience not to be missed!

5.00Very well organized program! Punctuality and cordiality of guides! Absolutely fantastic safari with very attentive guide, knowledgeable animal life and an excellent communicator. The hotel where we stayed was also very nice and well integrated in the space around the park. The meals were also well served and very delicious! Finally, of course, these are 2 intense and exhausting days but that are very well worth it!
Awesome safari!

5.00My friend and I booked this trip, at first individually, and the host was nice enough to advise us to book together for a better price. We canceled one booking and added a person to the second for a few hundred dollars more and then also paid $40 per person in cash to the driver. Rather than about $900 a person we paid about $700 each. We were picked up at our hotel at 4:45am, drove 2.5 hours to the park where we switched vehicles/guides. We stopped for coffee at the Kruger gate and then took two breaks during the rest of the day for bathroom and lunch. We finished up around 3pm and were dropped off at a really cute lodge, where we enjoyed the pool and a multiple course dinner! We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves the first day, and then on the second day we were picked up at 515am and followed the same itinerary, leaving the park around 3 and getting back to our Maputo hotel by 630pm. It was a great experience and we saw lots of animals- lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, monkeys and of course impala!
2 days trip to KNP straight from the hotel

5.00This tour was way beyond expectations! Great driver Alfainho picked us up in our hotel in Maputo and safely bring us there and back. The safari tour itself was really amazing with driver (which name I dont remember) but she was really experienced and knew her animals with every detail possible. The lodge for the night was really great experience on the edge of the national park with many animals directly on your backyard.
Perfect.

5.00We booked Tours Maputo for a combo tour of Eswatini plus 2-day Kruger Safari. It was a great time! Our guide, Alfainho (Alfa), was very kind and made us feel comfortable. We also loved the provided snacks on board the van!! The tour itself was great, with us feeling like we saw everything we wanted to see in both Eswatini and on safari in Kruger. We even saw a leopard for the first time! The Crocodile Lodge in Kruger we stayed in was also amazing, with some of the best food on the trip. My only complaint was that the quote we got for an airport transfer was obscenely expensive ($240 for a 15-minute taxi ride for 12 people as they have a set rate of $20 per person, even though we would all be in the same van). We ended up using a different company for the transfers, but the tour itself was priced competitively. Overall it was a good experience!
