Expert Safari Guide
A true expert who lives the wild every day. Jacob leads every game drive with deep knowledge of Kruger National Park, its wildlife, and the Big Five.
My greatest joy is the moment a guest sees a lion for the first time. That look — pure wonder. That is why I do this.

We had a fantastic safari with Jacob and Antje. We saw incredible animals and their passion for the bush and wildlife truly sets them apart.
With the best safari driver we've ever had, we got to see lions in the morning and had fantastic experiences in the wild.
The best choice for the ultimate Kruger safari! Thank you, Jacob and Antje, for sharing your knowledge and passion for wildlife with us.
Absolute legends! We are so glad we chose these guys. I can recommend them without any reservation.
Jacob is by far the best safari guide in Kruger National Park. He is extremely knowledgeable and has an incredible instinct for animals.
We come to South Africa every year and have done countless safaris. I can honestly say that Nyala Kruger Safari was by far the best experience we've ever had. We've booked many times and have never been disappointed. It is the highlight of our South Africa trips.
The safaris were always the absolute highlight of the day — you never knew what to expect. Jacob and Antje were unbeatable with their knowledge and stories about the animals. You could always count on one of them spotting a leopard. If you want the best possible experience in Kruger, go with Jacob and Antje!
Jacob and Antje tailored the safari perfectly to our wishes. Their passion and knowledge of every single animal was incredible. By far our best safari experience — we would only ever book with them again. Highly recommended! Chris & Hannah
I had no great expectations due to the recent rain. But it was extraordinary. I learned so much about the animals, big and small, and had wonderfully stimulating conversations. It was the best safari experience.
A fantastic safari! Our guide was wonderful, even with our 5 and 6 year old boys along. An unforgettable experience for the whole family. Thank you for everything!
