Good trip for those short of time - This half day safari was really good. Ben picked us from the hotel and brought to Dinokeng. James was our excellent guide at the game reserve. We saw giraffes, zebras, different antelopes (and a glimpse of buffalo). We started from the hotel at 7am and were back at 1:45pm. Highly recommended for those who need to be at the airport in the late afternoon on the same day.

Excellent Excursion! - Overall, it was a fantastic experience! We were able to view various types of animals. Definitely would recommend this excursion! (P.S. If the driver that takes you to the safari goes along with you on the safari, just make sure you tell the driver to turn off his cell phone. Our driver's phone kept going off and the safari operator as well as all of us on the tour got really annoyed by that.)

Awesome Afternoon Tour at Dinokeng Reserve - I had an amazing half-day tour yesterday with Ben and Stefan. Ben picked me up at my hotel and drove me to Dinokeng Reserve. On the way I said I liked Jacaranda trees and he went out of the way to drive through Pretoria to look for the last blooms. Then I said I wanted to eat Papp (which I love) and we stopped at the "Pink House" and shared a great meal of Papp, chicken and veg. At Dinokeng, I checked in and got in a ranger vehicle with Stefan with Europeans and South Africans. Stefan was a fantastic driver and guide. The animals, birds, and even insects were out in full because it had just rained. We ended the day watching the sunset over water, with a Goliath heron, lap wings swallows. It was such a fantastic day, which I am going to remember for a long time. I love South Africa and the many good people caring for its nature and culture. Thank you Ben and Stefan from a grateful American!

Amazing half day safari - We had an amazing experience on this safari where we saw all the beautiful animals in their natural environment. The ranger Declan from Mongena Lodge was really pleasant and was able to tell a lot of details about the area and the animals.

Great experience - The lodge is beautiful and allows zebras and impalas to walk around freely on the grounds. I was able to see them up close during check in before the safari even started. Once it started it was great to see so many animals. My only advice is to be patient and understand that you may not see all the animals listed because of the time of day or the animals are just shy.

Safari before night flight out - Halu day safari was excellent. I was picked up from hotel lobby 7 a.m. by Ben and his little guide. Trip went smoothly and safari there was excellent guide who had lot of knowledge of animals and nature. Safari lasted about 3 hours and we saw 3/5 and 5/7 of Bing five and seven. I was pleased for arrangements.

Wonderful Safari experience - We had a lovely half day just out of Johannesburg. Leonard our kind and punctual driver picked us up from the hotel and took us to the game reserve. There we had an amazing 3 hours safari: saw elephants, cheetahs, hippos, rhinos, impalas, and lots of other animals. The most amazing afternoon!

Great to see the animals so close - Ben was a great driver. (However the car didn’t have airconditioning. ) The pick up and drop back went well. The game drive I had Johandri he was great and really put in the extra effort to find the rhinos. I saw lots of animals up close. I was a solo female traveller and felt safe at all times.
