    Four Days in Kruger
    I spent five days in Marloth Park, did four game drives with Kruger Pride. I had drives with Kerry, Tamsyn and two days with Hayley. I was really impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. Each of them picked me up at my lodging, as well as the others going on the drive. We got to Crocodile Bridge Gate early enough to be some of the first people through the gate. They took care of all the paperwork at the entrance. Each asked me if I had any animals that I really wanted to see, and they worked to find them for me. I had joked my entire time in Botswana and South Africa that I wanted to see African wild dogs. I didn’t have expectations but Tamsyn was able to find them for me. Each day was different but great in its own way. With Kerry, we found mating lions and three cheetahs that had just made a kill. Tamsyn was able to find wild dogs. Life was a little tougher as we got later in the week. Temps were higher (up to 105F or 41C). The animals were much harder to locate and they were rarely moving. Hayley was able to find several lions, and got us very close to elephants and giraffes. I was able to get some fantastic photographs each day. I felt that after four days, I was on drives with friends.
    Dear Jim Thank you so much for your review. It is greatly appreciated Regards Liz and the Kruger Pride Team

    Amazing morning with Kruger Pride Safaris
    We recently did a morning safari with Kruger Pride Safaris with family that was visiting from Australia. Kerry was our guide and we had an absolutely amazing morning. Kerry is an expert on animals in the Kruger and shared her vast knowledge with us every minute along the way. My niece said that now when she thinks of an African Safari, this will always be her memory. I would book again in a heartbeat.
    Hi Thank you so much for your kind review. Regards The Kruger Pride Team

    A great must-do experience
    We did a tour yesterday with Kruger Pride Safari and strongly recommend this one! Hailey was our tour guide and she did everything to make us feel comfortable. Hailey knew a lot of fun facts about the animals, not the basic stuff everyone knows but really new interesting things. She had a good contact with us, but also with the other tourguides, which made that she knew all the hotspots to look for animals. Thank you Hailey and Kruger Pride safaris for the lovely morning !

    Excellent guides and amazing sightings with Kruger Pride Safaris
    This was our third game drive with Kruger Pride and we just can’t say enough good things about this company! We’ve had a different guide every time and all were fantastic. Kerry is unsurpassed in her knowledge of Kruger wildlife, especially birds. Tamlyn brought us closer to a leopard than ever before, and Hayley showed us Kruger’s endangered species- cheetah, a pack of wild dogs, and the saddle-billed stork. Stunning! You won’t be disappointed with the woman run company. You go, girls!
    Hi Thank you so much - we are proud of all our amazing guides, and great feeback is very much appreciated. Regards from the Kruger Pride Team

    Perfect guide for a perfect day
    Beautiful experience. We booked a drive with an excellent guide named Hayley. She was just perfect. Her knowledge was impeccable, as was her sense of humour. We couldn't have asked for better. We spent 6 hours in the Kruger national Park. Saw so much of the bigger more exciting wildlife, such as leopard, cheetah, lion, elephants, giraffe, zebra and much more. Her patience, her empathy, just her whole vibe, means you should book your drive with Hayley. Can't wait to return ☀️
    Hi Thank you so much for your review. We hope to see you again one day! Regards The Kruger Pride Team

    Five star ⭐ Safari.
    Liz and Kerry own and manage a five star ✨ safari business. This is a small family business who take great care and pride in the service they provide to their customers. This company was recommended by a local person. They did not disappoint with excellent customer service and professionalism. The vehicles are clean and well maintained and staff well informed and professional at all times. Hayley was our guide for the day she was kind, gracious and very knowledgeable. She clearly loves her job and worked very hard to locate animals in a huge area. We stopped from breakfast and lunch in excellent facilities with great views over the river. There was plenty of different items on the menus etc. I would highly recommend this company for your safaris in this part of South Kruger. Thank you Mark, Ava and Leanne.

This was such an awesome experience! I have been on many game drives and nothing rivals the trip we had with Jan and Kruger pride Safaris.

Jan picked us up from our house in Marloth early in the morning, we were among the first to enter the park and were treated to a full moon with a sunrise! It was spectacular.

Jan was really professional, knowledgeable and so much fun! He knew exactly when to be quiet and let us enjoy the moment and when to teach us something new or crack a bad joke.

The vehicles were in great condition, clean, sanitised and I felt safe at all times, even when we came face-to-face with a bull elephant who was definitely not a morning person.

We were so lucky in our sightings! I ordered some elephants, a lion and a rhino and Jan delivered right on time! 😂

I highly recommend Kruger Pride Safaris for anyone who is looking to have an unforgettable experience in Kruger.

From the booking proses to the end of our tour in the Kruger our experience with Kruger Pride Safaris and Ranger Jan Bergh was outstanding.
We were lucky enough to have the safari vehicle to ourselves and learned so much from Jan. His knowledge about the animals and nature was very insightful.
We forgot to pack our cameras batteries and Jan was so kind to lend us his personal camera for the day to ensure we have the full experience.
I will highly recommend Kruger Pride Safaris and Ranger Jan Bergh if you are planning on visiting the Kruger, they won't disappoint!

We did two full day safaris with Africa pride safari.
Our guide Jan picked us up at our hotel and provided us with cozy warm blankets during the cold start of the day.
The experience was truly amazing! Jan spotted animals that were far away and made our days very special.
He also provided a lot of very interesting information about the animal, as well as the flora and fauna.
We were very lucky and saw the Big 5 and even had 4 lions pass our vehicle very closely.
We did the safari two days in a row but still saw lots of different parts of the Kruger.
Thank you so much again! It was a great pleasure and we will definitely book the safari with Jan again when we are back and we would highly recommend it to everyone who is visiting Kruger national park!

African Pride Safaris provided us with a much enjoyed, value for money game drive experience. Our guide,Jan's knowledge of animals, birds and trees is exceptional and in-between sightings, he entertained us with his great sense of humour. We saw a wide variety of animals, including lions. Highly recommended.

On behalf of my wife and grandson we say a big thank you to Jan and Kruger Park Safaris to make it a very memorable day for us all. We will be back next year for sue.

Fabulous full-day private safari from our accommodation in Marloth Park, with the lovely Hayley as our guide. We were surprised to learn that she grew up in Kent, England, where we are from, but she was the perfect guide; good-humoured, interesting and informative and exceptional at spotting animals and birds even while concentrating on driving! We saw most of what we hoped to see from hippos and elephants to red-billed hornbills and vultures. We even got fleeting glimpses of lions on the prowl. We would thoroughly recommend Kruger Pride Safaris for ease of booking and a great quality, reliable and professional service.

I am absolutely delighted with my tour with Jan Bergh. Within 5 minutes of our tour we had a sighting of lions, hyena and cheetah, amongst others. Jan was very strategic in arriving first to the sighting, thus reflected in his great knowledge and experience of the park and its animals. There were stops for breakfast, lunch and toilet, and he always kept us in the loop with what we were seeing and where we were going. All in all, a great experience that I highly recommend!

Jan, our guide for the day, went out of his way to make the game drive a most memorable experience for Marlene, who is blind, and at 75 years old was on her first game drive ever. She thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would love to go again. Brian and Anastasia, such a lovely couple from Cape Town to share the drive with on their first time visit to Kruger. Just a big thank you for being so accommodating to a visually disabled person, the smells, the sounds, the sharing of knowledge. Highly recommended and a memorable experience.

What an amazing experience! Jan our flies guide is a legend. He was punctual, very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. if felt like we had safari with a fiend rather than just a tour/field guide. The whole process from enquiries to booking the safari was done in a smooth professional manner. I will definitely recommend.

Had a great time on the safari, ended up seeing most of the main attractions besides a rhino. Kerry was our guide and she was incredibly friendly and charming. She had an answer or interesting fact about everything we came across. Amongst spotting a cheetah in the distance a few minutes into the tour, she also managed to track down a leopard that was evading everybody all day. I definitely had the feeling of being with someone with a lot of knowledge and experience which I think goes a long way in making the safari tour more engaging.
