Would Do It Again!! - Transportation to and from the Tour was professional and safe. Tour guide eased my fear of an open Safari ride and we were able to enjoy airings of most of the Big Five and a host of other animals.

An amazing day! - What an amazing day! Very good organised tour, luxury vans and very friendly staff! We saw a lot of animals, even lions, despite the bad weather! Our drivers gave their best! I suggest to everyone to do the Pilanesberg safari tour, especially with Mo Africa Tours!

A wonderful experience in Pilanesberg National Park - Hi Debbie, nice of you to ask ! It was a wonderful day, perfectly executed by MoAfrika Tours: driver gave adequate information on the pickup time, drove safely and the safari guide was friendly and gave a lot of information on the wildlife. Lunch was good (and in my opinion well more than a “light lunch” ). We’ve spotted plenty of wildlife, maybe had also a bit of luck due to the fact it was not too bright sunlight a lot of animals were “out in the open “ instead of hiding in the shade of the trees.

Must do activity in Johannesburg (solo or in group) - If you are short on time and want to hit up a safari - I highly recommend coming to Pilanesberg Reserve. I travelled solo and was put in a group with super nice people which made the experience even better. I was picked up and dropped off without any inconveniences. At the get go we got so see lions and later in the day got to see elephants, rhinos, a mongoose, impalas, etc. The tour company was professional and quick at communicating. However, I had to call in to confirm my pick up location and time because the ticket had a different location. Was resolved pretty quick.

A brilliant experience - Really good experience for 1st time seeing these animals really up close. The driver knew a lot of information and the animals and any questions asked he always had an answer for. We got pickup and drop off in Randburg that is good to those that don’t have a car or would rather not drive that is good. In all was a good day out.

Great experience - I had an amazing safari experience in Pilanesberg National Park! The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, and we saw many animals. The park’s landscapes were stunning, and the vehicle was comfortable for the small group. It was an unforgettable adventure—highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable wildlife experience!

A safari adventure must do if you are in JoBurg - We had an amazing time. Our Guide Tumi was very knowledgeable about the animals and plants of the safari. We spotted 4 of the big 5. Lions, elephants, rhinos, and a leopard. It was a really great experience. I definitely recommend MoAfrica tours to anyone who visits South Africa. They are professional, the customer service is excellent and the guides are very knowledgeable and helpful.
