It was great, i wished i brought binoculars with me to be able to see the animals spotted far far away
One day Pilanesberg Safari
This was the safari we ever took and we couldn’t be more pleased. Alex was our driver to and from the park. He was extra accommodating. He even let us off at the mall on our way back and waited to take us to the hotel. Martin was our safari guide and he was extremely knowledgeable. We saw lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, elephants, a rare cheetah and many more in just one day. He knew where to go to find the animals. I highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
My first time at a safari...
My first time at a safari and it was a thrilling experience spotting all the different animals in their natural habitat. We saw 3 out of the big 5 - elephant, lion and rhino - and a bunch of others. I'm writing this review after also visiting Chobe National Park and I found that the animals in Pilanesburg tended to be further away in the distance and required some sharp eyes to spot. Appreciated my sharp-eyed guides and fellow travellers who made this a fun experience.
Excellent
Very good service, Excellent Paseo, we got almost all Big Five, missed only the Lions, the Lunch was very good.
Amazing Pilanesberg Day Trip
We just came from Chobe NP so we were on the fence about booking this, but we are SO glad we did because our tour guide did the mosttttt to make sure we saw that leopard on our ride!!! We had an amazing time, we saw 4 out of the big 5 (no lion 🥲) on a day trip! Highly recommend to all
