Amazing experience

We had the best time on our safari, mostly thanks to Petros. He’s an incredible driver and went all out to make sure we saw everything. The guy’s knowledge is unreal, he literally knows everything about the animals.The highlight was definitely the lions. Petros kept checking the radio and driving back to where they were reported. Thanks to him, we ended up seeing them just two meters away!Seriously, if you do a safari, ask for Petros. He’s the best

Fabulous experience

Well worth getting up at 4am for this experience. Some confusion in the communication about pick-up, but all resolved in time. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and informative, made the drive that much more interesting. The rusks and Amarula for our coffee were a nice touch. Despite the awful conditions of the roads in Pilanesberg, we were fortunate to see a lioness teaching her cubs to hunt, a shunned old male walking alone, and a surprising number of rhino's. I've been on a number of game drives, and it's hard to mess them up, but this one was more memorable than most. Be aware that conservation fees are not included in the price, and although those fees go to the Park, you will not be able to re-enter in your own vehicle on the same day without paying the fees again. This is a Park issue, not MoAfrika, but annoying nonetheless.
