A well organised and safe safari experience - The experience was excellent. An early start but worths every minute. We had lovely guides both for going to the location but also within the park. Felt safe all the day and the people are very friendly. The food was tasty and made for us at request. Very well organised trip and recommended to everyone who want to have a one day safari experience in South Africa.

Great tour of amazing wildlife - We were in Johannesburg for a work meeting and decided to take an extra day to do a safari. We all had a great time. We saw 3 of the Big 5 and a lot of other animals. Many of the animals were seen right up close to the jeep. We got tons of great photos and videos. Our tour guide, James, was also great. He was informative, giving us tons of interesting facts on each of the animals we saw, and had a great sense of humor. I would definitely do this again. I think we got to explore roughly half of the huge park. For lunch, they took us to a cafe in the middle of the park. The food is mediocre, but you have a great view of wildlife. There were zebras and wildebeest hanging out a few feet from us while we ate. Pro tip: If you change the pickup location after booking, make sure you overcommunicate that. Don't assume that changing it on Tripadvisor will get that new info to the driver. We were picked up with no issues, but there was a little extra stress and confusion after our hotel was changed.

Unforgettable Day Safari - Highly recommend! One of the highlights of my trip to South Africa. Our driver (Ano) and guide (Zwa) were phenomenal. Our group saw elephants, a lioness and cubs, rhinos, hippos, giraffe, zebras, wildebeests, kubu, antelope, baboons, monkeys, warthogs (Pumbaa from The Lion King), umbrella phone trees, etc. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Tour - Our tour guide Sello was funny, knowledgeable, and had charisma. His knowledge and history of Johannesburg was helpful as it was our first time in Johannesburg. The safari itself was a great experience. We saw most of the big five and the weather was great.

Unique experience! - Great option if you have a few days available but do not want to miss the opportunity to live the Safari experience. We saw 4 of the 5 Big Five and many other animals. The park guide was very knowledgeable. The transfer that picks you up at the hotel and takes you to Pilanesberg is definitely a plus.
