My friend and I recently visited Johannesburg on a short business trip and wanted to squeeze in a Safari on our spare day. We found Tim and in hindsight we couldn't of been happier choosing him to take us on our first Safari experience.

Tim, was very responsive when booking the tour and gave us plenty of information to help us choose our best option. Following an early pick up, I'd plan to sleep on the drive up to the park but Tim was so friendly and charismatic that we sat up the whole journey chatting.

It was great getting to learn about South Africa through Tim's eyes, and to get an introduction to the culture long before we even arrived at the park.

Can't say enough good things about Tim during the tour itself. He went above and beyond to make our day as special as possible. Tim takes his own camera to capture a lot of the action so you can see as much as possible with your own eyes as it happens.

I also bought my own camera and Tim always positioned us in the best angles and away from the sun to help me capture some amazing photos of my own.

Tim had a light hearted approach to teaching us about the animals and their behaviour and was a great mix of knowledge and humour that really made the day enjoyable.

There were several moments during the day where we were one of 4-5 cars in the area, and every time we were in the best position of all the vehicles, a true sign that Tim knew his stuff and how the animals are likely to behave.

It truly felt that Tim's primary goal was to give me and my friend and amazing day to remember and he definitely achieved that. Tim is flexible and happy to accommodate to how YOU want your day to go.

I'm planning to return to South Africa next year and will be in touch with Tim again to book a longer Safari in Kruger.

Would recommend to anyone!

Petting the cute (but fierce) lion cubs was thrilling, and I liked seeing all the giraffes, big cats, and other wildlife in both parks we went to, and learning about the environment. Tim was entertaining and informative and kept things lively throughout. But being able to share space with towering elephants just having their breakfast out in the open was an awe-inspiring glimpse of their world.

A friend of mine booked Tim for the elephant encounter and lion and safari park. I didn't know what to expect, but I was absolutely blown away. Tim was hilarious and had us laughing and on our toes the whole time. He is clearly knowledgeable but is also a lot of fun, and he greatly enhanced the experience. I can't say enough about the elephant encounter - it was incredible to be able to interact like we did, and I highly recommend it. I would recommend Tim to anyone and hope to be able to repeat the experience someday!
