LION ROAR SAFARIS | Book an affordable safari in the Kruger National Park South Africa

South African safari packages explained…

Welcome to Lion Roar Safaris (Pty) Ltd – AWARD WINNING TOUR OPERATOR AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK SAFARI SPECIALIST.

If you are reading this, it means you are thinking about visiting South Africa to go on safari or you are looking for South African safari packages, special or deals…
Nevertheless, you came to the right place!

The most important questions to ask yourself before choosing South African Safari packages;

  • How to choose a South African safari package that suits your needs?
  • Where to go on safari or with which company to go on safari with?
  • Why do you want to go on safari and what do you expect to see or do whilst on safari? We will get to these questions in a minute.

Secondly – why go on safari in South Africa? The answer is quite simple really! Why wouldn’t you want to visit South Africa and go on safari? South Africa is amazing!

South Africa is a very popular tourist destination for many foreign visitors. The country offers a huge variety of interesting and fascinating places to visit. Not to mention the huge list of things to do.

The South African culture is unique in every way! I mean where else, but in South Africa can you find such a magnitude of cultures and diversity. Did you know that in South Africa we have 11 official languages?

South Africa is a must visit destination. Certainly a bucket list priority!

Okay, okay… South Africa is beautiful and unique and all, but why do you need to choose South Africa for your safari destination? When you think of Africa or even South Africa, I’m sure you think of vast open grassland where animals roam free and where king lion rule them all. (We’ll that’s what I think when I think Africa.) Africa is synonym for the Big Five animals, everything wild and wonderful and of course safaris.

This is why you need to choose South Africa for your safari destination!

This is quite true in a sense. There certainly are many wild animals in South Africa and Africa in general. I doubt that there are any other place on Earth besides Africa and South Africa that can give you that ultimate wild adventure you have been craving.

Safari Only Packages

If you want to go on safari for days on end and experience nothing but nature, wildlife, migrations and animals, you need to go on safari to one of South Africa’s bordering countries like Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania or Kenya. You can find various safari packages in these countries that will suit your every need.

Safari and more…

If you want South African safari packages that does not just include going on safari for days on end, but include other locations like Cape Town, Table Mountain, Johannesburg and Durban. This is absolutely possible!

South African safari packages like this is a great option if you do want to go on safari in South Africa, but you still want to visit other destinations as well.

Speaking of safari and where to go…

The best South African safari package as far as I am concerned is a mix of both. Safari and more…

Now! Where to go on safari when you choose this option? Kruger National Park of course! The Kruger National Park is Home to the Big Five animals; lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino and elephant. It is wild, untamed and everything you have ever dreamed a safari would be. Besides this, the Kruger National Park is perfectly placed that it makes it possible to go on safari for one day and the next day visit something totally different.

Kruger National Park is certainly the place to choose for your safari!

Choosing the safari company

Of course we can’t be biased. We are in fact a safari company writing this newsletter. All we can recommend when choosing South African safari packages and a safari company to take you on safari to Kruger National Park;

  • Make sure you Google the company. Make sure their website is safe and secure. You don’t want to give out sensitive information like card details etc. and then be scammed.
  • Have a good look at the website – normally a good-looking, professional website costs a lot of money. Fly by night websites use cheap websites to pose as a legitimate website. Be careful!
  • Make sure the company is legit – make sure they are who they say they are! Check out their social media pages; Facebook, Instagram etc.
  • Read reviews – Google, Tripadvisor as well as Facebook.

Now that you have Googled the safari company, you need to think about the price.

Here is how we as Lion Roar Safaris quote our guests:

Please click here for the current rates for a safari  with an open safari vehicle in the world-renowned Kruger National Park:

We need a minimum of two adults for the safari to take place. However, there is an option for a single person to go on safari but due to operating costs, the person needs to pay for two people. Should a single person book the safari and Lion Roar Safaris receives another booking, the single person will get a 50% refund due to that fact that there will be two or more people on the safari.

World-class safari operator

My mother and I travelled to Nelspruit to do a one-day safari inside Kruger. Our guest villa (Utopia in Africa – amazing stay!) told us about Lion Roar Safaris – from the moment I contacted Liz to book a guided safari with them until Luzille (our guide) dropped us off it was world class service! The safari is split in three, you do a few hours before breakfast, a few hours before lunch and then drive towards the end of the tour. Besides being able to rest with this type of schedule we also appreciated all the different detours in the park we were able to do. This operator is passionate about the animals, the park and their customers. They are very knowledgeable in both big things and small things regarding the park and the animals. I hope to come back someday, my only regret is that we didn’t book one more day.

Fantastic experience

We really enjoyed our safari with Liz and the web photographer. They pointed out many sightings which we would never have seen on our own. We saw 3 leopards, many elephants, rhinos, cape buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos and different types of antelopes and birds.
They provided binoculars which helped a lot, especially when observing the leopards in the reed!
The service is top: on time, friendly, very informative and you get a feeling how much they enjoy “going the extra mile” for the customer. They tried to keep ahead of the crowd and do not enter thru Numbi gate which is usually very crowded. Its great the park fee is included in the price because then you do not need to queue at the entrance like in the case of some of the other operators. We will definitely recommend you!

Great services! Amazing commments

The guide was very friendly and helpful!
She really knew the way around the park and we were able to see a big variety of animals

Super accommodating and informative.
Liz was super patient in making sure we get the morning bush walk and night drive within limited dates. They know lots about every animal we saw. I love that they provide parkas for their guests because it gets super chilly as the truck moves. Their truck is clean and not loud like other trucks which tend to scare the animals away.

Spectacular day in the Mighty Kruger!

Even if the weather was cold during the day, the spectacular sightings we had made up for it all. Luckily this company is not one of those that rush from one big sighting to another but rather take it at a slower pace and therefore not miss even the small things like some bird species and trees and plants, lizards and much more.
Oh and I am so glad their Photographer was also on board with her very sharp eye sight. She spotted plenty of animals where the rest of us missed them…especially that Cheetah! And she took the most beautiful pictures (and some short videos clips) of all our sightings that day. We were surely one lucky group of people seeing all those magnificent wildlife, especially the Elephant Calves, Wild Dogs as well as Hyena Pups!
Oh and let’s not forget the snack bags that was packed for us!!
The Guide was very informative and interactive with our group. Evidently her kindness and helpfulness is not only restricted to the time a guest is on her vehicle still busy on the Tour but even helping when one of our group members was staying over at a place in the Kruger Park, she assisted him from booking in at the camp to taking him to where he would be staying, to briefly showing him around on what is where and available to him in the camp. And this all took merely a few minutes.
I would definitely be recommending Lion Roar Safaris.

Best experience ever!

Lizelle was very informative and made sure we had the best views of all the animals!

Johan , Google Review

Lizelle was the most amazing tour guide. She knew everything about the animals and gave us plenty of time to take photos and ask questions while still ensuring that we saw 4 of the big 5. She was just as excited as we were to view the animals. Without using a radio she was knowledgeable enough to know where to look and how to spot the animals even in the summer bush. Liz was there to help point out animals as well. We were pleasantly surprised to have two guides to make this experience incredible. The vehicle was as impeccable as the guides. They even provided snacks that can easily substitute lunch. The cherry on top is the fleece lined ponchos that kept us warm as it was a bit chilly and a little rainy.

Amazing safari and the best guide!

We did a lot of research and chose Lion’s Roar based on it and were spot on with our choice! To my own shame, I cannot remember the name of our guide because it’s been a few months since he experience, but she truly rocked – she was knowledgable, funny and easygoing.

We got very-very lucky on the day we went and saw elephants, rhinos, wild dogs, hippos, numerous birds and other animals. We went again just with friends and saw hardly anything, so do yourself a favor and book with these guys!

We loved it!

Liz was so great! Without a doubt, she made our trip a lot better than it would have been otherwise. She was knowledgeable and really wanted us to have a good time.

Best safari company in the Kruger!

I want to congratulate Lion Roar Safaris once again for taking me on safari to the Kruger.

I had a spur of the moment urge to go on a safari. Even though it was a last minute booking, they were stil happy to accommodate me.

It’s always nice to just sit back and relax while everything is taken care of. For me, it is always a special occasion going to the Park. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge my batteries. Best of all, I learn something new everytime I go with Lion Roar Safaris.

Every safari with this company is unique. Everyone should do a guided safari with them atleast once in their lives otherwise you are missing out!

Keep up the good work Lion Roar and see you again soon for another safari adventure!

Wonderful safari experience in the Kruger National Park!

What an experience. The finer touch and extra service makes it very special. Neat vehicle and well organised logistics. Knowlegable, friendly and professional two ladies. Highly recommended. This safari in the National Kruger Park was definitely a highlight of my year. Well done !

Memorable Father’s Day in the Kruger National Park

Usually I end up in the beautiful Nelspruit to see clients and to deal with work-related responsibilities. This year, my husband and I returned for a well-deserved holiday break. Yes, we came back and it is our second time doing a safari with Lion Roar Safaris, but this time I brought along the kids, my father and mother. One big happy family outing!

We booked the safari on Father’s Day, so my dad can enjoy the Kruger yet again. He hasn’t been to the Kruger for many years, let alone go on safari in an open safari vehicle. Everyone enjoyed it immensely, especially the kids who simply adore all animals.

My dad walks with a walking stick and my mother struggles to see & both of them make use of hearing aids. For this reason, we decided to book the safari vehicle privately so we don’t have to share with other people and if the kids misbehave or granny or grandpa can’t hear, we can talk a bit louder. (Even though we know that their company is child and elderly friendly). I’m glad my husband advised me to book it privately, it made it more special.

I just want to thank the team at Lion Roar Safaris once again. Everything from start to finish was great! I would also like to thank you for the extra touches you provide to make things comfortable, for example, the extra step that helped mom and dad get on the vehicle, the ponchos and most importantly the patience and professionalism of the guide.

We will keep coming back!

Marvellous safari experience in Kruger

I have visited South Africa before and this year I decided to bring a group of friends with me. One of the MUST DO things everyone wanted to do was going on safari to Kruger.

So, I searched the web and visited the website of a guest house we stayed at previously in Nelspruit and they have a safari company listed on their things to do page. Automatically I clicked on it because the guest house was wonderful so I trust their judgement. So it turned out Lion Roar Safaris has the friendliest and most helpful staff working in the office as they answered all our questions we had and arranged everything exactly like we wanted it.

Lion Roar arranged accommodation for the 8 of us (outside of the park). The accommodation was neat, clean and modern with a yummy dinner included. The following morning the friendly Guide came to pick us up with a very neat safari vehicle. (I must admit I was quite impressed)

To keep things short, Lion Roar Safaris exceeded our expectations. Everything was seamless, professional and well planned, from the arrangements with the office, the accommodation, pick-up, transfers, payments, to the pre-arranged catered picnic at one of the picnic spots – which was absolutely fabulous may I add – to all the information we received during the day that included information about animals, conservation, anti-poaching efforts to mention but a few.

I would strongly recommend Lion Roar Safaris to anyone, whether you want to go on a private safari or arrange a special safari like ours with friends, or just because, do it! You won’t regret it and I’m sure you will come back for more. I know I will…

Thank you once again Lion Roar Safaris!

Fantastic Safari Experience

My family and I enjoyed a safari experience with Lion Roar Safaris recently. We had an amazing time! Liz and Lizelle took fantastic care of us and went out of their way to make sure my elderly grandmother was comfortable. Their personal touches like the ponchos and the snack boxes were greatly appreciated. They were very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We all learned so much! I highly recommend them to anybody wanting to enjoy a unique Kruger Park experience.

Great experience

The team went out of their way to ensure we enjoy our game drive and we manages to see 4 of the big 5’s which was impressive

Romantic Private Kruger Safari

Had the most Amazing Private tour of the Kruger National Park.
We had an early morning which was Beautiful from the moment Liezel picked us up from our hotel in Nelspruit until the end when she dropped us off.
Even though we didn’t see any cats of the day, we had to accept that we will only see what The Kruger decides to give on that day.
He knowledge of the animals and the park makes You want to know more and shows how much passion she has for the animals.
We even forgot by the end of the tour that we did not see any cats(LOL).
I will Definitely do more tours with Lion Roar Safaris and will recommend it to anyone I know that wants to do a tour of The Kruger National Park.
A Great big Shout to Liz for the seamless booking a few days before the tour and once again to Liezel for a Great tour of The Kruger National Park…
