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.

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.
