Traveler reviews
Absolutely fantastic...
Absolutely fantastic private tour at Pilanesberg National Park with Petrus & driven to and from Sandton area with Thombu. We very much enjoyed the tour - we booked the private tour and it was well worth it. We were picked up in a nice SUV and then transferred to the open-air jeep for the safari. We saw a lot of animals and has a wonderful time, even with the rain in the afternoon. The picnic lunch was also very delicious- especially, the marinaded beef. Thank you!!
Great last day in South Africa
We had a wonderful full day tour with MoAfrika. The planning was easy, everything was on time and we got back to Johannesburg in plenty of time for our night flight. Simon was a very good, careful driver- he handled the traffic beautifully. Vincent was a great safari guide, we saw so many different animals and he always got us in a good position for photographs. Not only does he know the animals but all the birds, beetles, moths, etc. This was a wonderful day to complete our South Africa trip
Awesome experience!
From booking to the tour - fuss free and awesome Our guide Petrus was awesome! Very informative and knowledgeable too! He is friendly, humourous and observant, always observant and taking care of our needs too! Will book him again if I’m back!
Private Tour to Pilansberg
We went on the private Pilansberg tour with our Tour guide Thomas. The tour was very personalised and we even had the chance to eat at a local restaurant - Carnivore. It was worth every penny!
Superb animal encounters
Absolutely amazing day! From the excellent driver who collected from our hotel in Johannesburg to the superb ranger guide we couldn’t have asked for a better animal encounter experience. The national park is well set out, the inhabitants are clearly well cared for and the facilities excellent. If you want to do a simple 1 day safari experience this is certainly worth your time and money.
