View on Google MapsI cannot recommend Amatugulu tours enough. Jakes who runs the business created a tour for us that fit us perfectly. We did the Panorama Route, 3 days in Kruger and Eswatini. The accommodations were great. We saw the big 5 in Kruger. Eswatini was a jam packed day. Jakes is so knowledgeable about South Africa and provides an experience which will stay with you always.
The safari was beyond amazing--I saw lions less than five feet from our vehicle, a leopard strolling down the road, and so many other animals that I couldn't keep track. The lodge itself was incredible as well. But the best part was easily my trip organizer, Jakes. He communicated everything in a timely manner and provided every detail possible. Most notably, when we had to cut my safari a day short due to events out of everyone's control, Jakes made sure I got refunded for my last day. I cannot recommend enough going through this booking if you want to make sure you have the best, most well attended to safari.

We had a great, remarkable time doing the Panoramic Route Tour to Kruger National Park with Amatungulu Tours. The journey with Jakes of Amatugulu tours enabled us to see much beauty and provided great excitement and joy to us. This has been one of the worthwhile road-trip from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park. Some roads are snaking up the mountain and valleys with fogs but Jakes handled all those driving with precision and coolness. We are pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the trip from forest, mountain, valleys, city, old towns, waterfalls, wilderness beaming with geological rocks like the Rondavels. He made sure we saw the awesome beauty of the largest green canyon in the world. He took some photos of us which was very helpful. I felt that Jakes truly cares because I was having a little bit of a dry cough and he stopped at a pharmacy to get some medicine which was appreciated. He is outstanding, passionate about his job, informative, engaging and entertaining. He definitely paid attention to details with the thought that his client is at the heart of the itinerary. The trip was made memorable not only by the beauty of the place but also the kindness and attentiveness of Jakes. We also did the City tour of Johannesburg and Sowento. It was a different experience filled with history and looking at things in a different perspective. What is constant is Jakes ability to make each trip filled with fun and safe. A drop off at the airport was a bit sad because we don’t know when we will see Jakes again. In a short time, he became our family away from home and will always be. I highly recommend this company to anyone. If you have 3 extra days, this is definitely worth your time. The road trip to Kruger National Park via Panorama route is something one will remember for a lifetime. It is just as exciting as the Safari in Kruger. Thank you Jakes.

Beautiful Definitely recommended. May is a transitional month from autumn to winter as it is still 25 degrees during the day in the morning and evening it cools well thick cardigan sweater and long pants would be advice to take with you. It is a bit chilly in nature but which makes it easier to spot the animals such as big five and others during this period not hiding behind the greenery. Temperature is better for them. It is no rest diaper vacation early up to go on safari often as early as 5:45 am are picked up jeeps.... Panorama route is also beautiful beautiful nature views you have you there. I started in Johannesburg Phalaborwa nelspruit Durban St.Lucia sat in Guesthouse. And back to Johannesburg tour Nelson Mandela museum and history apartheid. And differences between rich and poor are very much observed. And then back again Amsterdam Schiphol. Highly recommended.
