Awesome Game Drives

We had 2 amazing game drives in Pilanesburg National Park and TT was an incredible guide. He was so joyful and spent extra time and energy to help us see so many animals. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone! Couldn’t have been better!

TT with MANKWE the BEST!

I have been on a lot of game drives throughout Africa. This game drive with TT as our guide was at the top. He speaks good English and knew the animals and their behaviors. He was amazing! We did a morning and afternoon drive and every minute was exciting!

Great company to work with in Sun City.

A great company to work with, we done a tour every day with then, private and as part of a mixed group. The company made it so easy to book trips on the day, the young lady at the desk was so helpful and never rushed us to book and leave, she made sure all bookings was done, paid for each 1 as we went through the list, sorry can't remember her name, but a very big thank you to here as im sure we didn't make it easy being a party of 9. When we asked for set drivers she tried to accommodate, but we get staff have to have days off so we understand it's never promised. Start of the week we had Mary, she was amazing so helpful and knowledgeable of everything we had around around us from animals to the landscape. She tried everything for us to start the holiday and first Safari on a high to get 1 of the big 5 starting with a leopard and then went on to the others. The rest of the Week we had the amazing MK who is so lovely and willing to have a laugh and joke with us and made sure what ever we asked for he wet above to make it happen. Both drivers went above expectations and no matter what we asked for it was never to much, managed expectations and made the trips wishing we could stay in past the time agreed. These 3 people we dealt with are a credit to the company. Great value for money with the 3 hour and 6 tours we had. 100 ⭐ if I could.

Pilanesberg private game drive is fantastic

Words wouldn’t describe the beauty of the scenery nor the depth of knowledge of our guide. She was extremely patient when it came to not only seeing the animals but often positioning for an upcoming better view.
