Excellent ranger: Petrus Mosehla

Petrus Mosehla is an excellent ranger. He is a good driver has a lot of knowledge and listens to people in the car. He takes time for the people to shoot pictures and films. He makes the drive very joyable with his humor

An absolutely perfect safari if you are pressed for time.

MoAfrika suggested we do this on our last day in Pilanesberg as a way to squeeze a final experience in and I am so happy that we did. This excellent experience offers a friendly guide, Jones, as well as many wild animal sightings like buffalos, gazelles, rhinos, lions and many more. Despite the last minute booking, MoAfrika was able to accommodate to us and handled everything well.
