On this tour, I am taking you to a place that has fantastic nature, many wild animals, excellent safari and game drive tours.
Pilanesberg National Park is a place where you feel humble and amazed, a place where humans are not on the top of the chain and the place that brings great excitement!
This is home to Africa's famous Big Five a place where we can see the wildlife in its primordial order and traveling the park in the open-air-safari vehicle is something that you will remember forever.
And after the excitement of nature what can be better than to sit down, to settle your memories with a sip of great South African wines and with tastes and smells of local food.
This is also an incredible opportunity to capture many great photos that will be reminding you of a great experience of nature that you have experienced on this tour through Pilanesberg National Park and with your Local Guide.
And don't be surprised if you discover you want to repeat this experience once again!

This was an excellent tour and was able to be done in 1 day. My transport driver Bobo was phenomenal and super knowledgeable about SA. Our safari driver was also super knowledgeable on African wildlife and had the eyes of an Eagle. He did an excellent job of finding and positioning us to see a host of wildlife. He gave clear expectations before the trip and went out of his way to get us an upclose view of a leopard. We ended up seeing 4 out of the big 5 missing only the Cape Buffalo, which he said upfront was very unlikely. We did manage to see lions though. In addition to the big 5 we saw hippos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, a baboon, too many ungulates to name, cheetahs, a meerkat, wart hogs, a jackle, and a hyena, which is rare given they are nocturnal. One other underrated thing was the amount and diversity of birds, truly spectacular. I would definitely recommend this tour. Pilanesberg is a great park and the animals are free and living their lives. This is a reserve not a zoo, which I appreciated. Again, I would highly recommend and want to give a shout out to our driver nicknamed Pride of Lions. He did a great job.

J'ai adoré :) c'était vraiment magnifique et grandiose :
A very beautiful experience to do once in life,
full of beauty of nature (in savannah ecosystem), and the driver - that i thank him a lot - has a strong knowledge to know where to drive and to find animals ( he already did that more than 1000 times )

In this same experience, i got the chance to see the "big 5" : lions, elephants, rhinoceros, african buffalo, lion and leopard ; and also antilops, hippopotamus, waterbuck cow, birds (ibis, cormorant, drongo, old world sparrow, large grey babbler, crimson-breasted shrike, cape starling, helmeted guineafowl ... ), cricket ; all that around african trees :)

We had a great time. The safari was very informative. Our guide, Peter, explained many things about the animals and food sources. Our driver from Joberg was also great! I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience. Picked up right on time from the hotel with an extremely friendly driver. Once we got to the park we got a different driver who was just as great and very knowledgeable. It was a long day but totally worth it.

CRIMINALS!!!!! I have had so much trouble with this tour operator :-( they are rude, arrogant and unprofessional.

I came to Johannesburg especially for this, and they told me ALL was fine until 9 pm. After normal comms they suddenly said “whoops, sorry bro, no tour tomorow because you are the only one, here is your refund”. I begged and then they put some story around 5000 rand this and that. I accepted even though they were RUDE!!!

Then I asked to confirm the new details via message, to pass it on to my travel agent.

They were not going to do that. At this point I wasn’t sure anymore whether they are actually a legit company or not? What a NIGHTMARE!!

I was always honest and respectful in my dealings with him as I do with everyone in the world. Please, don’t choose this guy, he is the borderline of a scam. Please please please don’t book with this company.

I have warned you…. He is a criminal without respect

A wonderful experience. Driver to the park was an excellent driver in very challenging driving conditions. Very friendly. Of course the Park guide was superb and full of very detailed knowledge. Everything was perfect. The only recommendation is to confirm BEFORE the day of the tour the actual pickup time as it is dependent on location and may differ plus/minus 45 minutes from the published time (0600). You want to be ready so as not to delay the group.

A great adventure with fun and the true appreciation of nature and its inhabitants. Seeing the animals in their environment is exciting and this tour is very well organized and for me, worth every penny. I highly recommend it.
