A day of fun - I had an amazing time on the safari. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable, he tried everything to find the animals. Although it was a hot day, and we couldn't spot any lions or leopards, I still think that it was well worth it. We saw a lot of elephants and giraffes and it was a really exciting day. The lunch was also delicious with a view of the park. I definitely recommend this trip if you don't have time for a longer safari.

Pilanesburg with MoAfrika - The safari was a really nice experience! Total 5 hours safari plus 1 hour lunch. We could spot many animals. The Giraffes and the Elephants were particularly amazing. We even watched a standoff between the giraffes and a lion couple - from quite a distance. It was a cross-national group and we all enjoyed thoroughly.

Lethabo - thank you, you truly provided us an amazing experience! - Incredible 1-day safari trip to Pilaneberg from J'burg. Our bus has a slight issue on the way out but our driver was quick to act and call another bus that driving that morning as well so we jumped in to that bus and we were on our way again. We arrived at the NP gate entrance and started the safari tour at 0900. We were kindly given a poncho/blanket for the jeep that was handy. Our safari guide was called Lethabo - he was truly exceptional! Passionate, friendly, fun, provided lots of information about the park and the animals. He went out of his way to find many animals, birds and vegetation to see. We were fortunate to see loads of Elephants (including many baby elephants), Giraffes, a lion w 2 lionesses and 3 cubs eating their morning kill, 3 cheetah’s, kudo, impala, and a white rhino. So beautiful. Felt incredibly lucky and would highly recommend! Thank you. Lunch was good too - we were hungry after a busy morning game drive. I'd recommend taking your own water/snacks with you as you.

Very nice one-day safari - Very nice one-day safari nearby Pretoria. It really is worth it if you don’t have many days to stay in the region. We were lucky to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions, rhino, guinus, and many other animals. The lunch was good too and the shuttle door-to-door worked perfectly.
