He was very considerate always on time knew his directions to all destinations, and was a pleasure to be around. His wife cooked muffins in the morning they were delicious did Safari was fantastic. He took pictures with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. I would recommend him to everyone that comes to South Africa.
Thank you so much, we had a lot of fun with the group and it was an absolute pleasure hosting the group. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Stuart and Heather
Excellent arrangements by Stuart. Went for a 2 day customized safari for me. 1 day drive with him inside the Pilanesburg reserve searching for birds and animals. 2nd day did a 6 hour guided tour. Saw almost all famous animals of Africa. Superb and highly recommended.
Thank you Arvind, it was an absolute pleasure hosting you on this 2-day Safari tour to Pilanesberg Nature reserve. You have brought so much to my attention regarding birds that we simply take for granted as everyone is always looking for the lion, cheetah and leopard. Hope to host you and your wife in the near future.
Amazing day tour to Pilanesburg Park with Stewart who drove us there safely from Johannesburg. After the safari, we had a buffet lunch in a wonderful restaurant booked by Stewart, he advised us on the wine. We were delighted. I recommend it for the profesionnalism and the service. Great experience.
Thank you so much it was an absolute pleasure hosting you on this amazing full day tour to the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve. Looking forward to hosting you again in the near future.
What a great experience on a hot summers day! We weren’t expecting to see much as it hasn’t been raining too much and assumed that the animals would be hiding in the shade where they could find it, but much to our surprise the animals were up and about enjoying the day just like we did! The tour operator, Stuart, was excellent in spotting animals, which added something extra special to the tour. He also took us to a hide where we got out of the vehicle and we saw an entire herd of elephants grazing! Would definitely recommend as a lovely family day out. What an amazing day.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
What a great way to spend the day with the family. We took a leisurely ride out to Pilanesberg National Game Reserve for the day, entered the park around 10am and spent 3 hours driving around looking for ‘how many animals’ we could find. We saw Elephant, hippo, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, impala, klipspringer, warthog and even a tortoise.
Great thanks
