Highly recommended

Our guide Petrus was excellent, he was very friendly and experienced, and he was very good with our 2 year old daughter.

Excellent but cold

The guide Petros was very engaging and answered all of our questions along with providing interesting information on all the animals we saw. We didn’t realise how cold the weather would be so we really appreciated that the tour provided warm ponchos.

Amazing Game Drive and Reserve

Amazing game drive and definitely worth the trip! Even in just 3h we saw lots of animals and got lucky to see 3 of the big 5 and also a lioness with 4 of her cubs.

Best experience ever

Perfect and incredible game drive. We saw a lot of animals ! Rare as well ! We were a very small group, we learn a lot about animals life. Peter, Megane and Tshiamo were so kind with us and help us to catch our best videos and pictures ! I made with them almost 6 games rides during my journey of 3 days ! The chef Asaai cocked a delicious braii!

Pilansberg Night Game Drive

Moloko was so fun and the sweetest guide. Kind, and always willing to answer questions, shared fun facts, and stoped as many times as we asked. We saw tons of beautiful animals and the views of this park were stunning!
