Intimate Kruger Safaris. Expertly Guided. Unforgettably Wild.
Explore South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park with a passionate conservationist and birding expert.
Welcome to Mangovo Safaris — a boutique, owner-run safari experience based in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, just minutes from the Phabeni and Numbi Gates of the Kruger National Park.
We offer small-group and private open vehicle safaris led by a passionate guide and nature conservationist, Keegan Steward. With a focus on birding, wildlife education, and personalised service, we create authentic, immersive adventures for travellers who want more than just a game drive — they want a true connection to the bush.
From lions and leopards to elephants and rhinos, our Kruger safaris offer close encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife in their natural habitat. Birders and nature lovers will also delight in spotting hundreds of species unique to the region.
At Mangovo, we believe safaris should be soulful, not rushed. That’s why we cap our vehicles at just 6 guests, ensuring every sighting is intimate and every question gets answered. Whether you’re chasing your next lifer, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving quiet time in nature, we tailor the experience to suit you.
With the recent addition of a second safari vehicle, we can now accommodate larger groups of up to 18 guests across multiple vehicles — perfect for families, special interest groups, or tour operators. This expansion allows us to offer more flexibility while staying true to our small-group ethos and high standard of personal service.

Wir haben eine tolle Tour mit Keegan im Krüger gemacht. Er ist super nett, wir sind in einem nagelneuen Auto gefahren, haben wirklich viele Highlight Tiere gesehen, inklusive Löwe, Wildhunde, Hyäne, Elefanten, Giraffen und von weitem auch einen Leoparden. Ich kann ihn wirklich von Herzen weiter empfehlen!Posted on Kathleen SchulzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful day with Keegan. He picked us up early in the morning with best mood. The tour through Kruger was amazing. He knows the wildlife so well and was as excited as we were when something in the wilderness happened or an Animal showed up. He was respectful with the nature and wildlife. His Knowledge is great. We would recommend him without any doubts. Best Kathleen&StefanPosted on tobi mTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our full-day safari in Kruger National Park was an absolute highlight, and it’s all thanks to our guide, Keegan! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he was also a really cool person to spend the day with. Keegan made sure we saw everything we hoped for, but more importantly, he gave us unforgettable moments - whether it was spotting rare animals like a leopard or sharing personal stories about the park. We never felt rushed and always felt like we were in good hands. He brought the safari to life in a way that made it truly special. It wasn’t just a safari - it was an experience we’ll never forget. We highly recommend Keegan to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure! Crossing our fingers for you to spot a Lichtenstein-Antilope soon! 😉Posted on Julie DippenaarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As other reviews had mentioned, Keegan is an incredible value for a private safari. He did a great job catering his trip to what we wanted to view and our interests. He's not one for crowds, so you'll be in the gates early and spend a good amount of time on gravel roads instead of the busy paved areas. However, he is also well-connected so that if there's any major sightings, he'll know where to go. Knowledgeable, friendly, and funny - I couldn't recommend him more! I'm so glad we were referred to him.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
