What our clients have to say about our Kruger Park safaris:
“We had a marvelous 7-day trip through Kruger National Park with Marc Cronje. The park was filled with natural wonders, and Marc was knowledgeable in every respect. Everything from the accommodations to the meals and the vehicle went smoothly. The birds and the wildlife were spectacular in ways that completely fulfilled our high expectations!”
Bernard and Dawn Foy, Danville, VT, USA
“In December my husband and I had a phenomenal birding day with Marc Cronje in and around Nelspruit. His knowledge, enthusiasm, patience, wit and understanding, made for a magical birding day. He always goes the extra mile. What a joy to go birding with Marc. “
Mari W
“Moving on to Kruger National Park… this afforded us multiple sightings every day of many animal, big and small. Obviously, I never have had a similar experience, so with Nick’s patience and a Children’s Big Animal Book, I can now name the Big Five…and then some.
I can highly recommend travel with Nick Buys and his company, and I look forward to joining him again soon! Thanks for everything!”
