Best tour guide! - Solomon was a fun and very knowledgeable guide - he was actually working at the park in 1979 when the animals were first populated. He did a great job of coordinating with other guides to help us see the most animals as close up as possible. His stories added a lot to the experience. Very comfortable and well-run tour!

We had an amazing day! - Thabo gave us the best day ever! He was so friendly and explained everything to us. He was looking around for the animals but also stopped the car when we thought we saw something! We have seen so many animals, it felt like a dream! The lunch was delicious. Thank you for this amazing experience!

A memorable day out in Pilanesberg - Super day out, exactly what you'd expect from a safari. The guides were very attentive and knew the bush and the animals like the back of their hand! The pick-up services were very well organised. All in all, a fantastic experience!

Fantastic trip to the Pilanesberg - We had a day spare on a recently holiday to SA so decided to do a day safari to the Pilanesberg with MoAfrika. The safari was great. Loads of fun. Saw Loads of animals on the safari drive. Both Drivers, for the transport and the safari drive were great fun and really engaging. Full of interesting facts and laughs. The half time lunch ( bunny chow ) and a cold beer also hit the spot. It was a lovely day out. 👍 definitely recommend it.

Highly recommended! - I and my husband booked a safari with MoAfrika tours. Everything was perfect- from our pick up from our airbnb to the transfer. We were kept informed of pickup schedule and the agenda for the day in advance through whatsapp and messages. Our pick up driver was ShibuSoso. He was really friendly and professional, took great care of us, even small details like water, taking lunch orders in advance, stops, etc. the safari itself was amazing, not only we saw beautiful views and loads of animals, solo and in big groups but also our ranger Desmond went the extra effort to maximise our chances. and he was humorous, polite and knowledgeable and shared great facts about the reserve and game. He kept us entertained throughout. Great experience overall and we will gladly go with them again.
