This review is long overdue, but I want to give an amazing kudos to Lloyd and his team for an outstanding Safari experience. We booked a five-day group safari with the luxury tent accommodation, and my friends, and I had an absolutely, wonderful time on the excursion. I will say that this experience is much more than just a safari. Lloyd and his crew are truly passionate about what they do and that shines through as we went on both our day- and night- time safaris inside and outside Kruger, our visit ot the Moholoholo Wildlife animal sanctuary, our cruise through Blyde River Canyon (the 3rd largest canyon in the world), and our morning nature walk. Prior to booking our safari with Lloyd, my friends and I did much research. We wanted to find a trusted safari trip that allowed for a real personal and intimate experience, and a variety of opportunities to experience Kruger, that did not break the bank and Lloyd’s safari does just that! What really clinched our decision to book with Lloyd were the amazing reviews. If time and price permits, I highly recommend booking the 5-day excursion because there is just so much to see at Kruger. I also recommend booking the luxury tent accommodation as it includes air conditioning and hot tub. Wifi is available; but, it is limited. Also, to note, you may experience loadshedding as most of South Africa undergoes periods of electricity shut off. The food was great and Lloyd and his crew and able to accommodate any dietary restrictions. TLDR; book this safari! You will not regret it!

My partner and I had an excellent time with Lloyd & David! We stayed for 4 nights & did a sunset safari, 2 days in Kruger, a visit to Moholoholo, a Blyde River Canyon cruise, and a guided bush walk. Some animal highlights included: - sightings of all of the “big 5”in the wild throughout our time - at least 100 elephants - a cheetah in the wild - several babies, including baboons and zebra - wild dogs, which we saw 2 days in a row! the 2nd sighting involved a riveting scene of the dogs playing with several zebra and 2 hyena nearby Lloyd was extremely knowledgeable. He shared SO much information throughout our time in Kruger and beyond and managed to keep things conversational without “lecturing.” You could tell that he was truly passionate about what we did and saw. The accommodations were great: clean and equipped with what we needed while maintaining the “outdoorsy” feel of camping. It was uncharacteristically rainy, and they were great at making sure we were well-equipped and able to partake in our planned activities. I would definitely return & would recommend Lloyd & crew for your Kruger region adventures!

I’ve just finished an incredible five day safari and I cannot recommend it enough. Communication was excellent before and throughout the entire trip. The food was amazing and the location of the camp is so peaceful. There were even zebras at the pool one morning. Seen all of the big 5 on a game drive and Lloyd and Breton were great at spotting all of the animals. Lloyd is extremely knowledgeable and shared so many facts about everything we encountered in Kruger and on the bush walk. He went out of his way to find all of the animals and stopped for ages at each animal so I could get photos. Had a great trip to Moloholo rehab centre and blyde canyon and David was an excellent guide, sharing lots of information along the way. It was the highlight of my trip in South Africa, truly an unforgettable experience.

Had a fantastic solo trip here. It was much more than I expected! The tour guides were really friendly and informative. I had the joys of Lloyd, Hank, David and Britain show us around. Each were great characters. You cover soo much on each trip which is great The food every night was fantastic. They even accommodated for my dietary which I thought would be hard but they made it easy and painless. Each night ended with a fire bit gathering and explanation of what will happen the next day. I loved the little extra touches they done eg. Blankets on the safari trucks in the morning, the fire pit catch ups. All these things allowed you to get to know one another and have a good understanding of what's happening. This trip definitely suits travellers of all ages and type.

Just returned from a 5 day safari with Lloyd and Safarii Budget Travel Company. Lloyd was the consummate guide, very professional, and this was the highlight of my time in South Africa. The 5 day package included: Pickup/drop-off from Johannesburg 1 Evening Safari 2 Full Days in Kruger 1 Day Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve/Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre 1 Morning Nature walk Lloyd was communicative throughout the process. His knowledge and passion of Kruger was apparent with his very insightful tour of the park. I was able to see the Big Five and many other animals(zebra, giraffe, impala, nyala, hippo, warthog, many different birds, etc) and I am convinced that I would not have been able to see so much if I had done this on my own. And that’s the value of going to Kruger with a skilled guide. But Lloyd is more than just a guide, he also cooked our meals which were very delicious. The accommodations were also nice, as my tent was situated next to a lake. I won’t ever forget this experience, and I owe this to Lloyd and his company. I can’t speak to what other tours look like, but I can’t imagine another tour being better than this!!

Had really great few days on this safari on our trip to South Africa. Can really recommend it! Saw a lot of animals, learned a lot from the different guides we had and enjoyed cozy evenings at the campsite with really nice food.

Just come back from a 5 day tour with Lloyd, from pick up to drop off he made the trip special. Showed us every animal possible, and knew so many facts, that by the end of the trip we had learnt so much. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. With his homemade meals in the evening, to his morning breakfast stops. He worked so hard to make sure we had a great time. Thank you Lloyd, your ethos of making sure the traveller is key, is amazing. With no stop too much trouble. The children and us had an amazing time.

I wish we had booked 7, 8, 9... days, but even then it would have been too short! We just have to come back :-) We booked the 5 days tour with Safarii Budget Travel Company and we loved every minute of it! From the wildlife in Krugerpark to the excursions to the Dragon Mountains, The Bourke potholes, Blyde River Canyon, Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre, the waterfalls, the nature walk... All of it was amazing! But the guy who made it an unforgettable experience was Lloyd, our guide. It wasn't just for his deep knowledge of nature, animals and plants which he shared without restraint, it was his kindness and the way he outdid himself to make us feel comfortable and have the most out of our stay. Lloyd really took the time to show us around and to explain everything. Then there were the glutenfree meals, the hot tub ready when we arrived from a long daytrip. He even found the special zulu hat requested by a friend of mine! We 100% recommand Lloyd and the Safarii Budget Travel Company. Be sure to book the luxury tent as it comes with comfortable rooms, a nice bathroom, a large kitchen and an amazing hot tub! It is certainly worth your money! Thanks so much Lloyd for the unforgettable memories! Inge & Simon

Love kruger...would have stayed for another week only to find out we had booked for five days ...looking forward for another enchanting encounter...really loved the place,full of life,nature,New experience

We booked the 5 days budget tour with Lloyd and it was the best decision we made during our trip through South Africa. Lloyd is an amazing and very experienced tour guide and overall a very very nice guy!! He knows so much about the nature in Kruger. To all animals and plants he will provide you with tons of very interesting and sometimes funny information. And beside that you can have a great time with him at the campfire on the evenings. No need to say that he also prepares ultra-delicious meals as well. The Africamps accommodation was the base for the daily adventures with Lloyd. The camp is a very nice place on its own. Check the pictures on his webside for more details and make sure you book the Luxury-tent. It is 100% worth the small extra money!! :-) What we liked most about our tour with Lloyd was the fact that he gets still as excited and fascinated as us about the wildlife and plants we spotted, although he saw them already a million times before for sure. I can tell that in this moments we all felt like small children again, enthusiastic about everything we explore in Kruger and having the time of our life. Another cool thing was the bush-walk with Lloyd. It was a total different experience than in the Safari vehicle. But with him we felt perfectly fine and save. We can not recommend his tours high enough. For us it was THE HIGHLIGHT!! of our South Africa trip. Book with him and you will have a great time and memories for a lifetime. Thank you so much Lloyd for everything!!
