We are a stable and longstanding transfer company, operating since 1997. Our main office is based in Hoedspruit, on the border of the Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger Nature Reserves, and our satellite office is stationed in Hazyview.
We are part of the bigger Cullinan Transport Division, which includes well-known, national brands, such as Springbok Atlas Charter, Hylton Ross Touring, On Safari Africa, and Ikapa Couches. The close proximity of our sister companies in Hazyview and Malalane is very beneficial when large groups must be transferred.
We are members of SATSA and we work hand in hand with TTC (The Travel Corporation) with brands like Thompsons, African Travel, and TSC (Travel Smart Crew) with brands like Tour D’Afrique, Giltedge, and many more.
Our small hands-on, dedicated, professional, and well-trained consultants provide personal service, sharing their extensive knowledge and expertise, and advice on all transfers and routes we provide, or information and assistance on all our day tours and game drives that we offer.
We constantly ask ourselves:
Did I do everything I was meant to do?
Did I treat this person/s as I would want to be treated?
How can I improve my workplace and work with greater efficiency?
What can I pre-empt? Looking to the bigger picture and looking beyond the obvious and am I proactive in my approach?
How can I improve the quality of my work and are my work of superior quality?
Do I have the nerve to overcome challenges and love what I do?
