  Ok so i had to think long and hard to try and find the words to express the experience we had as i'm not certain there is a word to describe how amazing my tour with the Lion man known as Steve Kelly . Our flight arrived at 4.20 am and i had asked steven if it would be possible to do a collection at that time . Steve's response . NO Problem my brother . Just send me a pic of your face and i will find you there . With a giggle i thought ok , This guy must have some policing back ground . only to find out he has just become a qualified bodyguard on his Facebook page . My curiosity was peaked and at exactly 4.50 and once through customs i get a tap on the shoulder with my wife and 2 kids looking out for the lion man , You ready to rock and roll i hear and off we went on an amazing 5 hour private transfer with Steve to our 1st camp in Setara . By the time we arrived we already felt that we had made friends and past the Customer / Guest relationship . This guys knowledge of lions in particular is scary . We were now ready to explore the plains of Kruger with our Lion Fanatic Irish African tour guide . After exactly 49 min steve pumped the breaks. I could see by the look on his face the news was good. Guys Welcome to South Africa. If you take a look about 40 m off the road in the Big tree you will see a magnificent Male leopard sleeping in the afternoon sun . Steve then drove away curiously only to turn around and reposition the vehicle were all my family could see the Big Cat. we admired the leopard by ourselves for 30 min before another Ranger drove up to Steve . After a 3 min chat in another language known as Shangaan . Steve turns to us and says guys. This leopard will be here for another 40 to 60 min before he leaves. Thanks to my mate I've just been told there is audio of lion near orpen camp . Steve sets off and about 25 km down the road we saw a leopard . Steve stops again and scans the area his friend had told him the audio of the lions came from. Steven looks for about 5 min and as he's about to start the car and drive off , he shouts did you guys here that ??? Myself and my family said we heard some barking but don't know what made the sound. With another grin on his face . He says guys see those 9 impala standing 60 m from our vehicle . They were the sounds you heard but they are alarm calling for a reason . HE tells us to follow the direction the impala are looking and about 30 m away from the impala lying under a tree were 2 massive male lions with 4 lioness and 2 cubs we could see. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER steve says in a great Nelson Mandela voice that cracks my kids up instantly . WELL after finding the 2 big cats of South Africa in 1 hr and 40 min of driving . Steve says time for Dinner and off we set. Now after driving from JHB to Kruger , Checking in and then heading straight out i was expecting steve to take us off to the restaurant for a light dinner , What we received was a feast fit for a king which had 3 south african dishes prepared and cook by the same guy who drove us for the last 10 hours. I started to feel bad and asked if this is only for tonight . HE smiled back and said i prefer to cook for my guests as my food is better. I did not argue as the Prawn starter , Babotie and Milk Tart was worthy of a michelin star . Over the next 4 nights steve took us to 4 different camps each home to different wildlife and fauna and flora and myself and my family feel we learnt more in 5 days with Steve than the 1000s of hours watching National Geographic . We saw the Big 5 on 3 of our 6 drives and saw Wild dog and A python . My youngest child who is 8 was in tears at the airport as he didnt want to leave the Lionman of South Africa . I Made a promise we will be back next year to explore the northern part of Kruger as Steve assured me it is just as beautiful as the South. Mr Kelly - You are an amazing Guide and human being and i thank you for exceeding my expectations. If you are ever in Australia before we are back here you better come show us how you will outbox our kangaroos otherwise you will see us next year Regards Mark & Ellaine and the kids

  What a magical experience, Steve isn't only the lion man he is also a elephant wisperer! I now love elephants, Steve took me on a unbelievable journey with these beautiful creatures. He is friendly and passionate about everything he does, you really cannot get a better game ranger! A truly unforgettable experience, one I wont be forgetting in a long time.

  Steven is a great host. He is very knowledgeable with the wild animals and knows a lot about them. He's also a very good cook! I had a good Safari. We even had a leopard in front of the jeep posing for us. A wonderful experience. I will definitely be back. Thank you Steven and Tyler for their socializing.

  

  

  

• Private 5 day Southern Kruger Safari

  This was a dream experience for us. Trip of a lifetime. Steve handled everything and was an exceptional host and guide. The specifics: He picked us up on time from Skukuza and drove us back to Joberg at the end. He prepared and cooked every single meal; we never wanted for anything and the food was incredibly good. (Steve has actual culinary training btw) He arranged for the best guides to supplement his guiding. He and his guides know the park, know their animals and know where to go to spot them. He has a sincere passion for the wildlife of Africa and its contagious! Highest recommendation. Just an overall fun group of guys to spend your days with. We saw all of the Big 5, and 6 of the magnificent 7. missed sighting cheetahs, but there's a reason to come back!

  

  

  

• Amazing wild tour with more amazing wild tour operator - Steve Kelly

  I contracted the Kruger Lion expedition and Steve arranged everything for me and my family. We only needed to go Johannesburg and from there, everything was set up for us. I cannot describe in words what I have lived at Kruger Park. YOU must see by yourself and think that life is not only what we're used living in our cities. Nature is big and the big cats made as all to learn about life. Steve was really caring about us and to make sure we enjoy the trip. I need to say that thanks to Steve my kids are more nature respectful. Completely safe and breathtaking images that we will never forget. I really recommend to make a safari with Steve, the little Lionman. Thank

• Great 5 day Kruger tour with epic Steve!

  Just came back from our 5 day tour from Kruger with Steve. The trip was unforgettable in terms of sightings and the company. Kruger was delivering amazing encounters and Steve was passionate professional, but also the most laid back guide I've seen so far in my safaris. We went to four different lodges and managed to get good mixture of landscape and animals during the journey. Everything wen't beyond expectations and highly recommend the Wild World Tours! Cheers little Lionman! -Joosan-
