  Loved it, Dave was awesome! We saw the big 5 within the first 2 hours of the tour. 1 tip I’d give you is to wait till you get to the train restaurant to buy lunch, otherwise that first stop is great for just a snack and coffee/juice.

  While in Nelspruit South Africa for work recently, we decided to take a Day Safari to Kruger National Park and I arranged it through Viator. Our pick up from our hotel was at 4 AM. Dave, our guide met us in the lobby and the hotel arranged for a light breakfast for us to take with us. We knew that we would love Dave when we saw that he was barefoot as he entered our hotel to pick us up. His energy was awesome. We were immediately welcomed and made to feel comfortable as we started our journey in his open air vehicle warmed by blankets as the cool morning air kept us awake. After picking up another lovely couple, the six of us began our excellent adventure with Dave and Krueger National Park. Not only did we see the big five throughout our beautiful day we also were blessed with seeing four of the ugly five as Dave would name them. In addition to those animals, we saw zebra, giraffe, wild dogs, and a variety of beautiful birds. We had an enjoyable lunch at Berg en Dal, Tindlovu Restaurant. The weather was very warm, but the skies were clear and we were offered cold waters whenever we needed, even though we had brought our own. Dave was incredibly knowledgeable and always aware of safety within the vehicle and within the park. He was incredibly funny and made our day extra special with ice cream at the end of our trip which was completely unexpected. He appears to be somewhat famous within the park itself as many of the other drivers spent time to pull over and chat with him while we were on our way. He is full of energy, kindness, and love for the animals as well as his country and people. We had no idea that our excellent adventure would be made more enjoyable because of Dave and his Dave-isms that we went so far as to make a list of some of the things he said as they will go down in our memories forever. He is an absolute joy! Thank you for such a wonderful time…If you are ever in Nelspruit and choose to go on a day trip we highly recommend it.

  We started early in the day and reached the park before the gates were open. Once we entered the park we were welcome with Impalas & then a family of Elephants. Early on we could see a couple of Hyenas followed with another one. Our guide Werner was very knowledgeable & kept us well informed about the various animals and birds, their behaviour etc etc. Early in the day we spotted Lions with a carcass, though we could see them from a distance but still felt lucky. In the afternoon we again find few more lions. Mid day we could spot one Leopard in an ideal place for them with big boulders and bushy area for hiding and camouflaging. Got a fantastic view of Rhinos, a group of four to be precise from a very close distance. The day went on with number of animals like Kudus, Zebras, Boar, Impalas a plenty, many bird species. One disappointment was African Buffalo, we could not find a single one. We entered from Malelane South Gate.
