Growing up I always knew I would one day work in the Kruger National Park, after leaving school I joined overland safari companies and traveled East and Southern Africa as an overland guide for 6-7 years. I then settled in Kruger working as a safari guide before starting Kurt Safari Co, the idea then was just to have one maybe two vehicles, but the demand grew and so did the dream of offering clients a quality safari experience, just better and different to anyone else.
Kurt Safari Co has over the last 14 years grown to be a leading safari company in the Kruger National Park. Its easy becoming a large operator but we pride ourselves on being rated on TripAdvisor @1 for safaris. This is due to a great team of safari guides, professional office and back up staff, modern safari vehicles and passion, all this combined offers the clients a quality, safe, affordable professional safaris packages and day safaris to the Kruger National Park.
Kurt Safari Co. employs guides from the Kruger region, our guides have many years of safari experience as safari guides, and many started as trackers in the Private reserves working themselves up to safari guides and today are amongst Kruger’s leading guides.
Over the years we have tried and tested many different itineraries and we have all inclusive, safaris packages that include Sunset safaris, Full day safaris, Panorama tours and Morning safaris, these depart from Johannesburg 3 times a week and overnight at the all new Umbhaba Eco Lodge adjacent to the Kruger National Park.
Kurt Safari Co. has a team of professional and highly experienced office staff, we have modern booking systems, tracking systems on all vehicles, and 24/7 duty phone, together with great guides and in house maintenance team. We make a strong professional team that ensure the best possible experience to all clients booking a safari and holiday experience with us.
We will move forward ensuring the best safaris in Kruger, but will always keep things as simple and wild as possible. Times might change, but the traditional safari experience should never be changed, or digitalized or modernized, the challenge of finding wildlife in their natural state and enjoying nature at its best will always be the center of Kurt Safari Co.
Looking forward to having you join our safari
Kurt Schultz.
