WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

We booked directly with Khalanga from Argentina, with Thamia's invaluable assistance and attention to detail. Our stay in Kruger with Shoes was spectacular, he handled all the entry procedures and park reservations, cooked breakfast and dinner for us in our bungalow, and conducted safaris at our preferred times with professionalism, a helpful attitude and always a smile. Safaris are generally very expensive, but Khalanga offers excellent service within Kruger National Park at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended. Shoes is a genius.

Soledad • Google Reviews • April 2026

Everything about Khalanga was top drawer. Thamia in the office and Shoes our guide were excellent. We stayed in the Khaya Ndlovu reserve in Hoedspruit in a luxury tent overlooking the watering hole. We had a combination of safaris at the reserve and guided trips Khalanga and all round top guy Shoes who spotted animals and birds we would never have seen on our own. We visited the Kruger Park and the Panorama Route. All round great safari trip and I fully recommend Khalanga who will take care of all your needs.

John L • Safari Bookings • April 2026

We contacted Khalanga Safaris to see if they could take our team to the Kruger Park, some of whom had never been. From the get go Thamia at Khalanga was fantastic. On the day Shoes and Doc, our two guides collected us from the accommodation and took the team on an unforgettable experience, sharing their knowledge and immense passion. Thank you so much for making it such a fantastic trip. Everyone loved it. Thank you

Andrea Gabor • Google Reviews • Feb 2026

We had the most amazing 5 day experience with Khalanga. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing they could do better on or improve. They have this all figured out. I so much appreciated Shoes' respect for nature and animals, following rules and keeping safety in mind at all times. Shoes has a way of weaving in stories, life experiences, education about animal behavior, game spotting plus the added excitement and awe of the morning bush walk, the night safari and the river cruise with endless surprises. It was a sad day when day 5 ended.

Anil & Family • January 2026

11/10, an amazing tour, guide, sightings, coordination, and lodging! Wish I had more time! Had the most amazing 4-day safari!! Couldn’t have asked for a better guide, Doc was super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! Highly recommend booking and asking for Doc, this was one of my favorite travel experiences to date! Also big thanks to Johanna for helping with the very last-minute booking and to Shoes for helping with coordination! We saw all the animals we hoped to and more, such an awesome experience overall.

Nate • Safari Bookings • Jan 2026

Our team recently worked with Khalanga Safaris to organise a corporate event for 20 people, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. A special thank you to Johanna Kuhn, whose professionalism, attention to detail, and hospitality made all the difference. The venue was stunning, offering a balance of adventure and comfort, and the activities were planned to encourage teamwork and create lasting memories. We highly recommend Khalanga Safaris and Johanna for any corporate event or private gathering.

Alex • Google Review • Nov 2025

Thamia was a huge help in planning our week in Kruger National Park. She brainstormed with us, made suggestions, and handled all the logistics perfectly. Our tour guide, Shoes, fully dedicated to animals and nature. He gave us a fantastic week of safari with the right attention, expertise, patience and service. If you're looking for a tailor-made trip in Kruger National Park, Khalanga Safaris is the company that will definitely give you a trip you'll never forget.

Patricia • Nov 2025

SHOES was great from the get go. The vehicle was top notch, lots of leg room, clean and comfortable. Upon entering the park everyone yelled his name and waved they knew him. As we toured he stopped and shared his knowledge of animals, people and life in Africa. We saw the Big 5, everything we wanted to see and what we didn't know we wanted to see. We are going back with him in a few years. More services are offered than what we could see - please ask him.

Travis • TripAdvisor • Oct 2025

An amazing safari! Shoes our guide was brilliant. He is really knowledgeable about all the wildlife and took us to all the best places for some fantastic pictures. He really looked after us. We had really close up views of lots of magnificent animals. The accommodation at Letaba Rest Camp was comfy and added to the feel of the safari camp vibe. The food Shoes provided was amazing and very generous too - especially the BBQ on the last night. Truly wonderful!

Rececca • TripAdvisor • Oct 2025

After receiving several quotes, we decided to use Khalanga, wanting to support a local business. We ended up choosing to stay for 5 nights at Satara Rest Camp. Our cook made us three delicious meals a day, and we spent the majority of our time on incredible game drives with our guide, Shoes. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Khalanga Safaris to anyone wanting an immersive safari experience.
