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. We shared 10 exciting days experiencing the best of the Kruger National Park. In addition the accommodation and personal service was exceptional, second to none. I would say CicadaCo is by far the best tour guide for Kruger National Park.

CicadaCo is a fantastic boutique tour operator for anyone looking to experience the authentic side of South Africa. Their small-group, personalized approach makes every trip feel curated and intentional—far from the typical cookie-cutter tours.
From wildlife safaris to off-road adventures, the entire experience felt immersive and thoughtfully designed. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about showcasing South Africa’s natural beauty and culture.
If you’re looking for a more intimate, tailored travel experience with a company that goes beyond the mainstream, I highly recommend CicadaCo. I’d absolutely travel with them again.

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. We spent 10 days exploring breathtaking parts of the park, with new sightings and great conversations each day. 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.
