Highly recommended! - Our driver to Pilanesburg was super friendly, provided lots of information about South Africa, it’s history, and additional areas to see. On the way home he drove us past the Union Buildings (government) which ended up being our walking excursion the next day. The park ranger on the safari knew where the animals would be at based on the time of day and communicated with the other park rangers when an animal was spotted. Pilanesburg itself is an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

Best day of my time in South Africa! - This was an amazing experience! I only wish I could have gone back for more days! The park is absolutely beautiful and our guide on the safari, Bernard, had a wealth of knowledge to share on each animal that we saw. It was incredible to see three of the big five, the elephant, rhino, and lions! As well as so many other animals. My personal favorite was a mother cheetah with two cubs.
In addition to the extraordinary day in the park I had the most wonderful driver who picked me up at my hotel and took me to Pilanesberg. Anyone who had the pleasure of having Khongi as their driver is certainly in from a treat. We talked the entire two hour drive in both directions and it was like spending the day with an old friend.
Thank you so much, Nhlalala Travel for an incredible day!

Show! - Accompanied by Norman, an excellent driver, we had an impeccable trip and, once in the park, taken in charge by a very well-informed guide, we learned a lot and saw 4 of the "big five": Lions, leopard, rhinos and elephants as well to giraffes, zebras and various types of gazelles 👍
To be done again several days!!!

Book with NHLALALA TRAVELS! - What a great day visiting Pilansburg Safari with Nhalala Travels. Everything was perfect from booking, transfers, and the Safari experience.

We had a really good time... - We had a really good time at Pilanesberg. Were picked up early in the morning by Martin who gave us a lot of information on the regions we passed an South Africa in geneal on the way to the park. Reaching Pilanesberg, we were introduced to Desmond, our guide for the day who drove us around and gave some explanations on the animals we saw. Were joined by a nice group of people who we also had lunch with. All in all a super nice day trip! Highly recommend when in Pretoria/Joburg area.

Excellent last minute safari tour of Pilanesberg Park - Norman, my tour guide, gave me an amazing tour with a last minute request (unexpected day off). The package included pickup/drop-off at the Johannesburg hotel and about 8 hours in the park.
I ended up with a private tour in a passenger car, since I arranged the tour too late to get an open vehicle (really best to get to the park around 8-9am, I think). Norman was clearly passionate about the area and also worked hard to make sure I could see as much as possible (animals, scenery, etc) while I was there. The park was great (wide open spaces, not very busy and felt like a natural environment) and I saw 10-15 animals I had never seen in the wild before, very close to the car (but I felt very safe the entire time).
Even the drive back and forth to the hotel was an interesting part of the tour.
Norman was very knowledgeable and an interesting person to talk to. I have already recommended this tour to my colleagues who will be in the area in the next year or so.
Thank you!

Ticked off my bucket list!! - The most memorable parts were seeing a herd of elephants feeding on trees & crossing the road.
Also saw white rhinos, plenty of impalas, giraffes & a very, very small tortoise.
Terrific tour guide ( “ T” ).
