We had such a great experience at Greenfire Lodge arranged for us by Wayne at Kruger Safari Company. I was travelling with my 80 yo Dad and we had certain needs. Wayne took the time to zoom with me, talk to me about my options and help me narrow down the right lodge and experience for us. A 10/10 booking and safari experience top to bottom!

I cannot recommend the Kruger Safari Co highly enough
We recently had an unforgettable safari with Kruger Safari Co. From the beginning Wayne simplified the process and made sure we had the safari that was right for us. On arrival Carol greeted us with staff and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I can't say enough about the staff at Kruger Safari Co.
Our guide Victor was amazing!
My friend and I both work for Delta Air Lines and were looking for a once in a lifetime Safari and experience and the Greenfire Lodge and staff did not disappoint. Our guide Victor was amazing! I'm sure all of them are great, but he was truly amazing, and we felt we had known him for years and were sad to leave after a fantastic week with him showing us the game reserve.
Definitely the "Go To" company
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Wayne and all involved at the Kruger Safari Company for making our first safari totally brilliant and unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organised, from the airport transfer and internal connections to the choice of venues. - We can't wait to return! We're telling all our friends you are definitely the "Go To" company for an unforgettable safari.
