Traveler reviews
A geat experience!!
Wonderful experience! Petrus was a very skilled guide: he is professional, scharp, nice and well-prepared. We had a fantastic safari, spotting also a leopard! We reccommend it!
Excellent Guide Petros Made the Safari — Solid All Around
Safari guide Petros was excellent. We really appreciated his knowledge and driving skills — he explained everything related to the game (wildlife) clearly and well. The transfer driver was also great, with good, safe driving. The lodge was fine — not top-end, but satisfactory.
Safari
We saw with the driver Petros the leopard, rhinos, elephants, 🦛 , giraffe 🦒, etc excellent experience !!!
Disappointing
I normally don’t write reviews, but I felt that in this case it was important to share our experience because we were very disappointed with the organisation of our safari with MO Africa Tours. We booked a 3-hour safari starting at 9:00 am. First, we were not informed that there was a shared transfer available to the safari departure point, so we had to make our own way there. Before the safari started, three people who were already there wanted to sit together. Everyone else was already seated, but they refused to get into the vehicle and tried to make everyone change seats. This was not the company’s fault, but it caused another 15–20 minute delay before we could actually start. Once the safari began, we spent most of the time stopped and moved very little around the park. However, the biggest issue happened towards the end. After stopping for a break inside the park, we got back into the vehicle, only to be told shortly afterwards to get out again because someone had come to pick us up and take us back to our car. We then discovered that we had apparently been sharing the vehicle with a group that had booked a 6-hour safari, and our guide was not aware that we were supposed to leave after 3 hours. This meant that we lost even more time from an experience that was already shorter than expected. In the end, we feel that we lost both time and money and did not receive the 3-hour safari experience we had paid for. The main problem was the lack of communication and organisation between the company and the guide. Unfortunately, we left very disappointed. We expected much better organisation from a professional safari company and, based on our experience, we would not recommend this tour.
