Welcome to African Echo Tours, your gateway to exploring the untamed beauty of the Kruger National Park. Operating under the legacy of Echo of African Wild, we specialize in immersive, guided safari experiences that leave a lasting impression and bring the magic of the bushveld to life.

As a small, owner-operated tour company based near Hoedspruit, we devote ourselves to offering personalised and high-quality service. Our guides are FGASA-qualified and passionate about sharing their knowledge of wildlife, ecology, and local heritage. (Echo of African Wild is described as “owner-run” and focused on guest satisfaction and value.)We adhere to strict ethics and eco-tourism standards, ensuring that every tour respects the environment and wildlife.
