          Lucky to have Lucky as our tour guide & driver
          We were lucky enough to enjoy the services of Noman for all our hotel bookings and Lucky, a very knowledgeable and personable driver/guide for 3 consecutive day tours around Kruger park & Johannesburg. He was always on time, friendly and informative and we learned a great deal about the areas local history from him which was fascinating and extremely useful to us. If all the drivers are like Lucky then I would recommend Hnlalala Tours without hesitation, he is a credit to the company and an excellent ambassador for them. Thankyou Noman & Lucky

          Great, easy and reliable tour
          We had a great time in the Kruger Park! The booking and communication was really easy and we could just relax. We saw all the animals we wanted to see during the second day, so the panoramic view was a perfect activity on the 3rd day.

          Eye-opening insight into the past and present of Johannesburg
          Jo’ burg is a city with a mixed past and the tour was a fantastic way to spend a day sightseeing & learning about the city. Excellently led by Khongi, we enjoying a day in a private air-conditioned vehicle travelling throughout the city. Unfortunately the Apartheid Museum was shut, but we visited Consitution Hill where Nelson Mandela and Mahetma Ghandhi were imprisoned, then a brief stop at the FNB Stadium, before spending considerable time in Soweto. Here we experienced the 3 levels of housing including visiting a shantytown which was quite confronting and eye-opening. We then travelled onto the Hector Pietersen Memorial and Museum which details the awful events of the Student Protests against apartheid in Soweto in 1976, before finally visiting Nelson Mandela House.

          Beautiful safari experience
          We really enjoyed our safari tour to Kruger with Nhalala Travel. From the beginning the communication was very kind and we got all replies very quick. Norman was accompanying us during these days. He made us feel very confortable. He is a openminded person and we had very interesting talks in the long drive from Johannesburg-Kruger & back.

          Friendly and professional throughout.
          Organised a 2 day Kruger Park safari with Nhlalala Tours. Communication wss excellent and we were picked up, as expected, from our hotel in Johannesburg for the long 8 hour drive to Kruger. The car we travelled in with Konghi was comfortable and clean. We stopped on route for a break where we saw some animals including Rhino. Eventually arrived at the wonderful Kruger Gate Hotel where Norman helped us check in and saw that everything was to our liking. The two safaris, one a sunset safari( a bit too dark to see much at this time of year and a dull day so no sunset, and a much better full day safari the following morning. Both of these were organised and run by the hotel. On the return journey to Joburg Norman took the 'panoramic' route and we made two stops to have a short walk and see some amazing scenery - all costs included in the tour- and then stopped on a lovely little town called Dullstroom for lunch. Norman was good company and drove safely. We had a great two days away.

          Comprehensive and friendly tour
          We highly recommend Nhlalala tour company. The tour company drivers were always on time.    We appreciated the communication before and  during our travels.     The locations selected for tours and for lunches were great.    The vehicle was clean, comfortable and air conditioned.    Lucky, our driver/guide for 4 days, was very good.

          If you have to chose one, chose this one!
          We had a great experience with Nhlalala Travel and Norman. Norman was very friendly and we had a very personalized (last minute booking) trip where we had the chance to discover Kruger National Park, the local community and the Panorama Route. Norman is very dedicated to his job. We were not very lucky to see the big cats in our first safaris, he did everything he can for us to be able to see them! And we finally did on our last safari! I warmly recommend Norman, he knows the accomodations , the good spots and the people and will give you the best advices!

          Good value tour from a sincere company
          The arrangements made by Norman were excellent and on ground everything went smoothly throughout!. From my first inquiry, Norman has been very responsive and answered every question, I had asked without hesitation. Kruger is an amazing experience and so was the combination with the beautiful Panorama Route. His team and guides were very good. Well recommended without any hesitation

          Impressive and super cool guide
          Our Guide showed us around Soweto safely and had a lot of knowledge about the area. It was really impressive to see this historical city, experience it and learn about it. Mandelas House and the Hector Pieterson memorial were also must sees that were included. For us it was absolutely worth it.

          Soweto Tour Half Day South Africa
          An amazing tour, lucky enough to have it booked last minute and we were fortunate enough to have Norman as our guide. He was friendly, factual, punctual and most of all a really nice guy who was able to answer all our questions without hesitation. A great insight into South African 🇿🇦 history now and then. Would highly recommend.

        Even though I couldn't go to the Sterkfontein cave due to they close for some reasons, I still enjoyed a lot the tour - I'm so glad to join such a meaningful tour between half day transit and it was the perfect fit. I also added one more destination and they could arrange the extea tour at that day. Highly recommended!!
