We are proud to announce that Kurt Safari has once again been recognised for its dedication to giving travellers the best Kruger safaris by being awarded the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2025 Award, making this the sixth consecutive year we’ve received this tremendous honour.
This prestigious award places us among the top 1% of safari operators worldwide and reaffirms our position as the #1 Rated Kruger National Park Safari Company on TripAdvisor!
What the Travellers’ Choice Award Means
The TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards celebrate the world’s favourite destinations, hotels, restaurants, and experiences based on authentic reviews and ratings from real travellers, which have been collected over the past year.
Unlike other awards, there are no panels or paid entries, the winners are decided entirely by the travellers themselves.
For us at Kurt Safari, this recognition is especially meaningful.
It reflects the trust, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences our guests share, after exploring the Kruger National Park with us.
An Unyielding Passion for the Kruger National Park
Our founder, Kurt Schultz, always knew his future lay in the wilderness of the Kruger.
After seven years spent travelling across East and Southern Africa as an overland guide, he returned home to South Africa, with the drive to create something unique: a safari company that provided not just tours, but truly authentic encounters with Africa’s precious wildlife.
That vision became Kurt Safari Pty Ltd, which has now been shaping safari experiences for over 17 years.
Today, we are one of the largest and most established safari operators in the region and we remain deeply rooted in the passion and simplicity that inspired our beginning.
Why More Guests Travel with Kurt Safari
Our consistent recognition is not by chance or good luck, it’s the result of our unwavering commitment to giving travellers the very best experience possible.
More travellers continue to choose us as their preferred Kruger Park safari company because:
We have World-Class Safari Guides
All of our guides are local to the Greater Kruger region. Many began as trackers in nearby reserves and worked their way up to become some of the most skilled and knowledgeable guides in the park today.

Keeping Safaris Authentic, just as They Should Be
At Kurt Safari, we believe that while times change, the rustic nature of a safari should not.
Safaris should never be over-digitalised or over-modernised, as the quintessential safari is characterised by the challenge of tracking wildlife in its natural habitat and fully experiencing the raw beauty of the Kruger.
That’s why we stay true to our motto: keep it simple, keep it wild.
Winning TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2025 award for the sixth year is a milestone we’re deeply proud of, but it’s also a motivation to keep raising the bar.
Every safari, every guest, and every review shapes who we are.
To all our past guests, we would like to thank you for trusting us with your adventures. To those still dreaming of the Kruger, we look forward to welcoming you on safari soon.
