Safari bound - The park is amazing. George our guide was great. We weren't able to see all of the big 5 but we saw most of them. George went out of his way to find every one that he could. And when they were spotted he gave us plenty of time for photos. You can't control nature so some days will always be better than others. George really made the experience worthwhile. I'll definitely come back. Brian our driver was wonderful. We really enjoyed our ride there and back with him

Awesome Safari Tour At The Pilanesberg. - My partner and I came from Sydney Australia for a short break and did the Pilanesberg and Sun City tour it was an amazing experience from pick up at the hotel to drop off back at the hotel. We used Phillipianes 4 tours there service was amazing. Our driver was very professional and very polite and kind. He showed us everything that we needed to know assisted us at the game park and at Sun City we had no problems from start to finish. We will definitely do it again. Thank you everyone.

Crazy fun day! - Such an amazing day being out of the city and with such a wide variety of animals! The driver (Tshepo) from the hotel to the park was so friendly and helpful in learning about South Africa. The guide (Ambos) was very fun and incredible in his knowledge of all the animals. Highly recommend this excursion!

Animals galore! - A fabulous day! A pleasant drive out of Johannesburg with a driver, Bobo, who could tell me lots about the villages and mines we passed. At Pilanesberg, it was into an open truck, with 2 others and the animal sightings began almost immediately. A male and female lion beside the road were a thrill as were elephants crossing the road only 2 or 3 meters away and a rhino pooping right beside out truck were amazing. The lunch stop was great, right beside a waterhole with lots of 4 legged visitors and the food was delicious. A wonderful day!

A “must do” excursion! - An absolutely wonderful experience!! From the driver to and from our hotel, to our safari guide, everything was perfect. We actually saw a herd of about 15 elephants (including babies) that came almost up to the jeep. Lions, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, hippos, rhinos, antelope, and even crocodiles. A “must do” excursion!!

Incredible Game Drive Experience! - Amazing park! Stunningly beautiful and we saw so many animals up close and personal! Very knowledgeable and friendly guide with great instincts as to where to find the animals within the park. Transport to and from the park timely with a nice guy as well. Solly was very responsive leading up to the excursion. Nice lunch between game drives. Awesome small group/open jeep experience! Glad we did it!

Great tour, tons of animals, would recommend - This was an excellent tour and was able to be done in 1 day. My transport driver Bobo was phenomenal and super knowledgeable about SA. Our safari driver was also super knowledgeable on African wildlife and had the eyes of an Eagle. He did an excellent job of finding and positioning us to see a host of wildlife. He gave clear expectations before the trip and went out of his way to get us an upclose view of a leopard. We ended up seeing 4 out of the big 5 missing only the Cape Buffalo, which he said upfront was very unlikely. We did manage to see lions though. In addition to the big 5 we saw hippos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, a baboon, too many ungulates to name, cheetahs, a meerkat, wart hogs, a jackle, and a hyena, which is rare given they are nocturnal. One other underrated thing was the amount and diversity of birds, truly spectacular. I would definitely recommend this tour. Pilanesberg is a great park and the animals are free and living their lives. This is a reserve not a zoo, which I appreciated. Again, I would highly recommend and want to give a shout out to our driver nicknamed Pride of Lions. He did a great job.

Check the timing on your commute to the park! - Check the distance from your hotel, then add 45-60 minutes. After we were picked up, we had to drive across town to pick up the rest of the group. We drove a total of 3.5 hours each way. Had I known, I might have picked another tour. Otherwise, it was fabulous! Great guide, awesome park!
