Pilanesberg National Park Full Day Safari From Johannesburg

Rudzani picked us up at our hotel promptly. The communication with MoAfrica Tours was excellent! We stopped for a break part way through our 2 1/2 hour ride to Pilanesburg National Park for our 3 hour safari drive. Thabo Mathi was our guide for our safari drive. He was able to find elephants almost immediately! They walked right past us! We then found 2 hippo moms with their babies in the water. Then, on to see giraffes right in front of us. We saw rhinos, wildebeest, tons of impalalas and there were 2 lions with their cubs in the distance. Thabo was very knowledgeable and gave us many details about the animals that made the experience more meaningful . He went out of his way to ensure that we had the best experience possible! We enjoyed the 5 hours that we spent talking to Rudzani! He also ensured that we were well taken care of. Don't hesitate to go on this adventure! You will return with a lifetime memories!

The driver, the lodge staff and the game drive guide were all perfectly responsive. On the safari I could see all the animals I wanted to see.

Very good! It was an amazing experience despite the relatively long journey our driver made the distance a good experience.

It was a great experience that we got to see wild animals in the national park. Marvin our tour guide drove us safely and also gave us enough information about Johannesburg on the way to the safari. I recommend this tour for those who are first timers in JNB.

The Pilanesberg National Park tour was truly a one-of-a-kind experience! 🌟 Our awesome team of drivers whisked us away in a comfy van at 6am, so we could start our Safari adventure by 9am. Right on time at 9am, our incredible guide T—affectionately known as "the one and only"—welcomed us with open arms. T’s expert knowledge of every animal, reptile, and plant we encountered was absolutely unmatched. This trip made me feel like a kid again, exploring my backyard—just with the added bonus of having beautiful game all around! For lunch around 12pm, we had a front-row seat to a group of Zebras—talk about a lunch with a view! 🦓 Afterwards, we headed out to see more of the Big 5 Game. Just a heads up—the weather was quite hot after 12pm, so make sure to wear sleeves and sunscreen if you're traveling during this time, and drink plenty of water. No worries though, as water is provided on the tour! Africa Moja even provided our group with binoculars, which I noticed other tours didn’t have. Trust me, those binoculars made a big difference in seeing even more of the wildlife up close. If you’re looking for a stress-free and fun Safari Day Trip, book with Africa Moja. They are definitely top-notch! 👍

It was family and friends for our safari. Our guide and assistant staff ere great. Snacks and drinks on the ride were great. We had the best time. Highly recommend them.

I loved everything involving the tour! The driver who picked me up at the hotel was very friendly, the car was clean and comfortable, the safari itself was wonderful and I was able to see several animals. I took the ride alone, but at no time feared for my safety. It made absolutely everything right. I recommend with eyes closed!

The tour wasn’t good. Wasn’t impressed at all the driver was very strange. First thing he says to me when I get in after he was late is do you live in China, I said no. Kept asking abit more about the topic. Not sure why it mattered. Made me feel abit uncomfortable. Going to pick up the next people he must’ve missed at least 7 turns turning a 15 minute drive into a 30 minute drive. After we picked them up on our way to the park. He drove like it was a mad dash to get to the park. Almost crashing in oncoming while trying to pass. We arrive and the other people I hear say, that was the worst drive ever. We go into the park for our safari drive which was really underwhelming. They race thru the park not allowing anyone to just look for animals that could be hidden. I didn’t know that this park they cut the horns off the rhinos. Had I known that I wouldn’t have gone. Our tour included lunch so it said but after we came back the driver said we’re going back to the city. We were all confused cause we thought the tour was supposed to be longer. We all said no were supposed to get lunch the tour isn’t supposed to end now. He has to call his boss or someone. They bring us to the restaurant which clearly they just added cause there was no other tour groups there despite seeing so many groups in the park. Didn’t enjoy this tour at all.

We have used Africa Moja Tours many times already. We have done several tours with them already and were always very satisfied. Their cars are clean, the drivers friendly and even when traveling alone I have always felt save! I have recommended them to many of my friends and will certainly use them again during my next trip to South Afruca.

The explanation said it was 9 hours, but it was actually scheduled for 12 hours (6 hours in the safari). It may be a good idea to check the time in advance. I told them that I had a flight and asked them to limit my stay in the safari to 3 hours. Both the agent and the tour guide responded quickly. There was a time change, but the driver came to pick me up at the specified time. The pick-up and drop-off locations were also flexible. We only stayed in the safari for 3 hours, but we were able to see animals such as elephants, giraffes, and zebras, so it was a satisfying tour.
