PANAROMA ROUTE & KRUGER NATIONAL PARK SAFARI
This was an amazing trip. From the time of booking this tour to the end Jakes was so prompt replying, helpful and did everything possible to make our experience amazing, which he successfully did. The information that he gave us during the time travelling was so informative and interesting. The Panorama Route is not to be missed and the experience on the Blyde River Canyon was beyond expectations. In our case the Safari was the highlight of all with some animals being so close to the vehicle and seeing so many animals. Having everything organised for us make the trip so much more enjoyable. Accommodation, food and a high standard comfortable vehicle were all excellent. We would highly recommend Jakes and wish him every success.
Response from the operator: It was such a pleasure to arrange and guide this safaritour for you. All worked out well, weather incl. Thank you for the booking and the great recommended review. Please call again. Best regards, Jakes

Jakes is the best Kruger Tour Guide!
Amatungulu Tours South Africa delivered an exceptional experience for our group, and we can't recommend them highly enough! Our guide, Jakes, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He picked us up in Johannesburg and expertly guided us through a memorable 4-day journey in Kruger National Park. Jakes' extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor made the trip both informative and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to tailor our experience, including ensuring we got a chance to see one of the Big Five animals on our last day in the park. His recommendations were always spot on, and his spacious, air-conditioned vehicle made our travels comfortable. Jakes' laid-back yet professional approach made us feel at ease throughout the tour, and he always had our best interests at heart. Thanks to him, we have cherished memories from our time in South Africa. Amatungulu Tours and Jakes' exceptional service will certainly be recommended to all our family and friends!
Response from the operator: It was a huge privilege to conduct this safari for your family. I like to ensure everyone is always comfortable and that ensures better customer satisfaction. It will be great doing a tour for your friends and or family again, be sure that client experience are to be held at the highest level at all times. Regards, Jakes from Amatungulu Tours

4-day Safari Kruger
We Enjoyed the four days. Simon was really accomodating and was flexible to our schedule. We were lucky enough to see the big5 in the first two days and we did a few extra game drives in the park were we saw plenty of other animals. We stayed in different lodges throughout the park and the food is great, plenty of options. The panorama route was also very nice to experience. Would recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Appreciate your rating, thank you for the booking.

Best of the Bush experience
We flew in from Canada and spent a wonderful few days touring the Kruger Park with Jakes who was a very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. We drove through the park and almost saw all of the Big 5 including many different animals along the way. Jakes was helpful, personable and thorough. We enjoyed our time with our family and went on a morning and night drive where we saw many more animals and had a magical Bush Braai which was the hilight of our trip. Had a great time learning so much about the parks history and the animals themselves. Thanks Jakes until next time.
Response from the operator: Many thank yous for the great review, its great to know you had an enjoyable time. I will be of service at any time. Best regards, Jakes

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 days Kruger Park Big 5 Safari and Awesome Panorama Route start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Johannesburg and Soweto tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
