Ekala Eco Tours

Ekala Eco Tours is a Johannesburg-based private safari operator that runs customised birding and wildlife itineraries throughout South Africa, with a particular focus on the classic Gauteng-to-Kruger and Gauteng-to-KZN circuits. Trips use small-group 4x4 vehicles, local guides, and access to bird hides inside national parks like Kruger (over 500 recorded species) and Pilanesberg (over 300 species). The company markets itself on conservation-aware, low-impact tourism, offering both single-day birding excursions out of Johannesburg and Pretoria and multi-day custom safaris that string together Pilanesberg, the Drakensberg, the Kruger Lowveld, and the KwaZulu-Natal coast.
