Real experiences from guests who planned their safari from abroad

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    CicadaCo provided one of the most
    wonderful trips of a lifetime. Adriaan
    and Kaylin were excellent hosts. Both were extremely knowledgeable at locating and identifying wildlife both mammals and birds. I would say CicadaCo is by far the best tour guide for Kruger National Park.

    Thank you so very much for your help and hard work. Your knowledge of Kruger truly made the trip worthwhile.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Our trip with CicadaCo through Kruger was one of the highlights of our travels. From the start, everything felt personal, warm, and full of adventure. Adriaan and Kaylin were phenomenal hosts—welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wildlife. Their ability to spot and identify animals was remarkable. The top-tier accommodations and personal touches made it feel like being with close friends. If you want an authentic, expertly guided safari, CicadaCo is hands down the best.
