⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Just a Safari, but an Unforgettable Experience in Kruger National Park! 🐘🦁🐆 What an absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience in the beautiful Kruger National Park! From our very first contact with Christelle, everything was wonderful. Communication was warm, personal and professional. Her genuine passion and love for the African wilderness shine through in everything she does. What truly sets this experience apart from a traditional safari is Christelle's unique approach. With Christelle, you don't follow the crowds or rush from one popular sighting to another. Instead, you escape the crowds and embrace the peace, silence and beauty of the African bush. It's not about ticking as many animals as possible off a checklist. It's about living in the here and now, truly connecting with nature and learning how to observe. Sitting quietly, listening to the sounds of the wilderness, understanding animal behaviour and learning how to read the bush. It's about noticing the little details that most people would simply drive past. That peaceful approach makes the entire experience incredibly special. No rushing, no crowds, no pressure. Just taking your time and allowing nature to reveal its own stories. As passionate wildlife photographers, we particularly appreciated the opportunity to observe animals patiently, work with the natural light and capture those truly special moments. Christelle offers a completely different way of experiencing Kruger. Her knowledge, passion and personal approach make all the difference. This is not just another safari where you drive from sighting to sighting. This is a genuine bush experience, where the journey, the atmosphere and the connection with nature are just as important as the wildlife itself. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something more meaningful, authentic and personal than a traditional safari. Thank you so much, Christelle, for an extraordinary experience and memories we will treasure forever! 🇿🇦❤️

Nice guide, interesting facts, easy communication, all was fine! We did not sow all BIG 5 animals, as it was so hot day, but it could happen.
This was a very nice tour. I was picked up at my hotel and driven to a meetup point before going to Kruger NP. We drove around for about nine hours, including breakfast and lunch breaks. We saw all the big except rhinos. I would recommend Kruger NP to anyone.
The driver, vehicle, and overall service was fantastic. We were picked up from our accommodation at around 5am and returned by 4pm with a couple of 45 minute breaks in between for breakfast and lunch. The driver was friendly and informative. He was able to answer all the questions we had. He also had a keen eye for spotting animals in the bush that we (the passengers) would have otherwise missed. My only issue with the drive was that we saw relatively little compared to other parks. However, this has to do with the sheer size of Kruger Park and was through no fault of the game driver. Final thoughts: if you’re dead set on doing a game drive in Kruger Park, this particular one is great. However, Pilansberg and Legends Safari & Golf Resort both have better animal sighting chances.
Memorable event, very enthousiastic guide Have seen allmost all of the wildlive while high up in the back of a modified 4x4.
Phenomenal experience. Rudy, my park guide, picked me up from my hotel at 5:00 am sharp. On-time and ready to go! From that point on until the moment I was dropped back, I found his service as friendly and professional as humanly possible. He knew his stuff; explaining details of animals I didn't quite recognize and those I did. While there is no guarantee of seeing any wild animals, we were extremely lucky and saw every animal advertised (including a big croc). Didn't see a leopard but we came close...just missed him. A remarkable day out at Kruger. Thank you Rudy for making my trip to Kruger a memorable one! I highly recommend this tour!!!!
We had great up-close sightings of numerous animals and birds. We were pleased with how much wildlife we saw. Our guide worked to help us see a lion and getting our kids to a bathroom more quickly. He was good at responding to our questions and knowledgeable. However, he was not good at taking initiative in sharing information on his own. It was raining at the beginning and we asked for the raincoats that were advertised. His first response was "Sorry, they are wet from yesterday." When we asked again when we stopped at the gate, he produced raincoats for us.
On 4th of January 2020 we've joined Ama-zing with for a full day drive. Total of 3 vehicles that travelled together that day. However what they never told us is that we've been put in the vehicle with people that did the half day drive, meaning we drove to the first post, and needed to get back (pretty much same route or at least same part of the park) to get back to the entry gate half-way through the day. Only to realize that all 3 vehicles went back, while in the other vehicles there were also people who booked a full day safari. At the gate we had to wait a good 30 min. for people to get off, and new ones to get on etc. Meaning that we did again a similar part of the park in the afternoon. Apart from this logistical nightmare, also they did not communicate with others to trace where "special" animals were located. Probably because they knew they could not go to those places as they needed to head back to the entry gate. Overall a very poor safari experience with this company, and would not recommend using them. I've been with another gamedrive company before, as well as with an own vehicle and saw much more of the park and its animals.
I had a great time!! Our guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable, helpful and very professional. I will be using Ama-zing Safaris again. Highly recommend
A fun day at Kruger seeing a variety of animals in the Park. Tour guide Kathryn was very good, easy to chat to and very knowledgeable about everything involving the park and its inhabitants. I recommend this trip

Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a very nice experience. I really enjoyed the day and saw many animals
It was very interesting cause our guide was so knowledgeable In terms of identifying areas where we can spot the big 5 which indeed we managed to c them all.
My second safari with Ama-zing Safaris. Great experience again!!! Fantastic customer service. This last safari was fantastic. Our guide was very courteous and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Wiile and company to everyone that want a great experience and customer service.
This was an experience of a lifetime. I should say this : EVERY EXPERIENCE WILL BE DIFFERENT AS THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SAME ANIMAL SIGHTING AS OTHER GROUPS. Having said that we were very lucky and extremely happy with this Game Drive, friendly drivers, clear and accommodating hosts. What more can you ask for really? Best price for quality ratio.
Though we started from our guest house at Nelspruit at 4.45am , it was a long drive to reach the Kruger gate . We could see lot of wild animals except lions & leapard . The guide was good. She tried to spot lions but in vain. Back to Nelspruit was also a long drive & tiresome. We should have entered through Melala gate. Anyhow the game drive was good
For starters, We had been waiting to hear from the company in regards to the pick up time. We sent messages but no response was rendered. So the night before the safari we decided to call. Mind you our phone is a U.S. number so we were forced to pay international call fees due to the companies inability to respond to messages in a timely manner. On the call we were told that they were still scheduling drivers at 2100hrs. Some time later we received a message to be ready by 515hrs. At exactly 515hrs Jacob arrived. We went straight to Kruger. The fee was 446R I paid 450R and I never received my change from Jacob. After waiting outside Kruger for nearly an hour, we finally proceeded inside the park. We were the last tour group to head inside. The parking lot was full upon entering and then literally empty by the time Jacob got back to the truck to drive us inside. Jacob was the most BORING and Lifeless guide we have ever had and we travel to at least 5 countries per year. There were 10 of us and we were all asleep at some point the entire day. No enthusiasm, no history lesson, no explanation regarding what we will see, no clue who discovered the park or how many kinds of species there are. We literally learned nothing. Jacob clearly didn't want to be there. Half way through the day we stopped for about 30 mins to pick up another group. We stopped for 40 mins for breakfast and 40 mins for lunch. We only got clear views of 3 of the Big 5. We didn't see the leopard at all and the rhino was too far out to get a good picture... Not seeing all of the big 5 was not Jacob's fault. But he made no attempt to make this an enjoyable and memorable moment for us. We were very disappointed and will not recommend this company to anyone...
Ama-zing does a good job of providing interesting info on our tour. I think they do everything possible to provide a good tour experience. Having said that, if you have your own car, you will probably see the same animals(but without the commentary. Also, Kruger can be very hot and all the touring vehicles are open to the sun. I enjoyed being in my air con. quite a bit more. Depends on your heat tolerance.
Lisa was an excellent guide. We saw many animals. What a lovely trip it was, I recommend it whole-heartedly.
We did a tour ourselves first so we were worried it would be all the same things, but it wasnt at all! We had an awesome time! The guide was extremely knowledgable and was able to provide us with way more information than we could have tried to figure out on our own. She showed us very particular spots where certain animals were found, and pointed a lot of small details we would have never noticed. Also seeing everything from higher up is awesome.
Great time, I got to see lots of animals almost all the big 5. The ride was comfortable even if it was a bit bumpy.
I can not believe that I passed this experience, was the best journey for every. Our driver was excellent and very accommodating. Our tour guide was awesome.
what a way to spend a day, our day guided tour of this magnificent national park, we had a great guide who was very knowledgeable , we were very lucky to see the big 5. it was better than i would ever think it would be, so much wildlife living in the wild
We had a brilliant day driving around kruger and our guide was awesome! We saw more than expected. A wonderful day filled with memories. I would highly recommend this company. They are respectful of the animals which is great to see.
Lise was absolutely amazing - she had taken us to the best secret spots of the Kruger National Park, allowing us to see the “big 5” within our first two hours. She provided us with blankets, raincoats, water, hotel pick-up/drop- off (she was also on time, which is a rare treat) and some incredible insight into the unique animals of this wildlife park. I would highly recommend this Lise, and this company if you’re looking for a speculator, adventures and FUN tour of the Kruger National Park!
Wonderful experience. The guides were knowledgeable and kind. We saw seven lions, three Leopards, many elephants and buffalo. Plus many other species. Highly recommend!!
This was an amazing tour. The length was great and 2 stops for food/ break were perfect at nice rest areas inside Kruger. To our delight, we were able to see the big 5 and many, many more various big and small animals, including the rare African wild dogs. Our guide Lise was very informative, friendly and helpful. She really knew her stuff and had great passion for the tour/animals. Lise gave a fantastic full day tour.
Very special and remarkable tour. Our guid picked us up at our backpacker hostel around 5 am. It is very windy and cold in the morning. We would reccommend to wear at least a jacket. During the day our guid was really passioned and stopped when every we might spotted an animal. Expect of a Leopard, we saw a lot of animals including 4 of the big 5. I would reccommend this tour to everyone who is thinking of doing it.
Our first time in South Africa and our first safari experience. We had an unforgettable experience; we were fortunate to witness a pride of 7 lions hunt and kill 2 impala. Unbelievable! Our guide was very helpful, funny and knowledgeable. I can’t remember her name, she was young with brown curly hair. We have another Safari with her in 6 days and we cannot wait! Thank you for an amazing first safari! Gemma and Ben, Perrys Bridge Hollow Hotel
Very professional guys, great car, the guide was really special and careful. I appreciate the experience a lot!
I would highly recommend Ama-Zing for your next Safari! Their guides are highly professional and very knowledgeable. Even though we didn't get to see the Big 5, we learned so much more about the smaller things and that is what matters. The time and effort the guide made to still make it a great experience! HUGE THANK YOU!!
My husband and I made our second trip to South Africa and to Kruger, our tour guide Chris is absolutely awesome. Informative, intelligent, interesting and funny we now call him a good friend. This trip was so awesome my husband and I are looking into buying a second home near Kruger. Thank you!
Our guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and engaged. We had some good laughs too. We had fantastic sightings and Chris made great efforts to get us into the best angles for our photos. It was fantastic! We will most definitely be going back there again.
AWESOME and AMAZING is only two words I can describe Ama-Zing African Safaris, Willie our guide so clued up and with all his knowledge of the bush and wild animals, the viewer whe had our drive in so neat and clean, what a pleasant drive and experience, Ansie at the Ama-Zing Lodge making sure everything runs smoothly with our trip, will definitely book with them again. Can't wait... Thank you so much Willie & Ansie.
Michael was very attentive, ready to help, to explain, to help find solutions. Thank you.
Voyager dans le Kruger au milieu d’une faune exceptionnelle est un plaisir toujours renouvelé. Superbement aménagé le parc Kruger est un des éléments clés d’un séjour en RSA. Prix d’entrée de 440 rands pour les étrangers.
Très belle visite guidée sur la journée. 4 des Big Five vus ! Paysages magnifiques. Guide sympathique. Définitivement une excellente journée en famille.
Belle visite avec une guide très sympathique et soucieuse de nous montrer tous les animaux du parc. Nous étions 9, des américains, canadiens et nous. Bonne ambiance portée par notre guide. Nous avons beaucoup d’animaux, du lion, aux buffles en passant par les hippopotames, les éléphants.... Durée 10h... c’est bien ! Je recommande Thierry
Trop de route pour arriver sur les lieux et voir très peu d' animaux Décevant dans l' ensemble Il est préférable de faire d' autres parcs
Uma boa maneira de sair em busca do "big five", pois durante o tour circulamos por uma vasta área do parque.
Ir a Sudafrica y no visitar el parque nacional Kruger es como no haber ido el viaje está imcompleto. Todo el parque que es gigantesco esta preparado y pensado para ver y disfrutar de los animales salvajes en su hábitat, en su hogar. Hay restaurantes, tiendas y hasta una gasolinera. Imprescindible y recomendable en Sudáfrica.
Fizemos o passeio com carro alugado. As estradas, de terra, são bem conservadas não sendo empecilho para quer conhecer o kruger e ter a liberdade de fazer seu itinerário. Conseguimos ver os "big fives". Cada curva uma surpresa.
Ancien ranger sur le Kruger, Excellent (c'est comme cela qu'il veut qu'on l'appelle) est guide depuis 7 ans dans ce parc. Il s'est mis en quatre pour nous permettre de voir tous les animaux et en particulier le big five. Sa gentillesse , la promptitude avec laquelle il réagissait pour placer son 4X4 au meilleur endroit et son opiniatreté nous a permis d'obtenir de magnifiques photos. Il a grandement contribué à faire de cette journée un enchantement. Vraiment un guide à recommander qui porte bien son nom...
Malgré le froid durant le trajet à 4h30 du matin, nous avons aimé notre safari car nous avons pu voir des girafes, des éléphants, des impalas mais aussi des lions (de loin), des hippopotames et des zèbres (de très loin), des babouins, des hyènes, de magnifiques oiseaux bleus...notre guide lise était professionnelle. Pensez à bien vous couvrir et à prendre de la crème solaire aussi.
Es una vivencia fuerte y conmovedora. Hay que madrugar, pero vale la pena cada minuto de los que se viven dentro del Parque. Los Rangers tienen muy clara su tarea, y ayudan claramente a visualizar los animales. Hacen tres rondas de recorrida buscando animales y dos paradas para descansar, comer y compras.
Nunca imaginei que gostaria tanto de fazer Safari, foi incrível... emocionante. E a empresa não poderia ter sido melhor escolhida.
Recorrimos hasta el último camino que había para ver animales... todo muy bien. El trato del conductor fue bueno y cordial.
Beaucoup roulé pour tout compte fait voir peu d'animaux.(outre les impalas appelées MacDo de la brousse) Pas de rhino, pas de lion, pas de léopard ! 3 buffles et quelques éléphants (après 4 heures de route)
Alugamos um carro de tamanho alto e com direção automática para facilitar o passeio, mesmo porque o volante é do lado direito (mão inglesa) . Há várias rotas para andar dentro do Parque e vai depender do fator sorte a visualização dos animais . Só vimos leões em passeio guiado a noite e de madrugada. Não vimos leopardo nem guepardo . Há muitos tipos de veados , zebras,macacos, elefantes, girafas , pássaros, gnus , búfalos, javalis , que são os mais fáceis de vermos. Tivemos a sorte de ver rinoceronte e hipopótamos que são um pouco mais difíceis de encontrar. Ficamos em um bangalô mto bom perto de uma das entradas ( dos crocodilos) do parque .
