Pilanesberg National Park Tour

me and my friends was contacted with Ben , he is super friendly and nice, we really enjoy the tour and the price compare to others also is really affordable, we take the tour on Walking with Lion. i recommended this Xplore Africq Tour and travels for your best experience in Africa !

The tour was an amazing experience especially the lions walking part! This is an experience you could not get elsewhere. Our guide, Timothy, was very friendly and helpful - making the whole experience even better! Overall, a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend anyone visiting South Africa to join this tour :)

Our driver was Timothy whom I highly recommend! He was punctual, friendly and very helpful which made this trip memorable. His driving is very safe too, made us feel comfortable. The ukutula tour was very worth it, it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

The service was phenomenal- timely, safe, and communicative. The safari itself has great views, an informative guide, and we got lucky- we saw 4/5 of the big 5. Lunch that was included was also very good.

It was the most memorable, beautiful experience ive ever experienced. Going to this trip was amazing and i will remember this forever. And this experience couldn't be possible with the help of Mr Ben.

I made 4 trips with Ben. We had contact through email a month before i came. The suggested trips and dates where perfect for me. The day before i arrived he contacted me. I paid on the first day and he was 10 minutes early. He made smal changes to the itinerary which made it even better. He drives very safe! I had a great time and great experience.

It was sooooooo nice! fantastic Safari trip. We saw lions elephants giraffes and so on(even the black mamba 🤩Such a memorable experience! Thanks again to our great tour guide Ben(and Lizzy Ben2 as well)

My time with Xplore Afrika was beyond amazing This type of your is for all ages and types of people. I was picked up, transported in a very good quality vehicle to Pilanesberg and was assigned a great and friendly driver guide. I was exceptionally lucky that I got a literal private tour with me being the only one in the safari vehicle. I have seen and photographed more than 40 bird species and have seen 3 out of the big 5 (unfortunately the leopard which is in a healthy numbers here wasn't very active during my tour) +any other animals like mongooses, hippos, crocodiles, 6 species of antilope and even a sleeping brown hyena on a mountain slope. Tour was 6 and half hours in total and was well balanced with lunch being covered too. Lunch area was beautiful with couple of amazing shops and also a lot of animals around who naturally congregate to the place as people of the park provide them a much necessary salt blocks/rocks in harsher parts of the year (a practice well known all around the globe in game management and conservation practices). The organizer is also open for good deals beyond what is offered at the start. All in all, I would highly recommend this experience and thank you Mr Ben for organizing this for me

Ben is great ! He managed to organise a safari tour which fits our schedule perfectly last minute! We had a great time there and enjoyed the tour a lot! Highly recommended it !

I recently did a full-day safari trip from Johannesburg to Pilanesberg National Park, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! As someone short on time but desperate to see Africa’s iconic wildlife, this was the perfect solution. Our guide Ben was fantastic. Arranging and driving us to the park. The guide in safari is incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, their behaviors, and the park’s ecosystem. He was patient, enthusiastic, and went out of his way to track down sightings, including multiple elephants, rhinos (even getting fairly close!), giraffes, zebras, hippos lounging in the water, and tons of antelope species. We even spotted a leopard – a real highlight that made the day feel truly special. While we didn’t catch buffalo this time (they can be elusive!), seeing four out of the Big 5 in one day was thrilling. The open jeep experience made everything feel authentic and immersive – wind in your hair, unobstructed views, and that genuine safari vibe. The drive from Johannesburg (about 2.5–3 hours each way) was comfortable, with hotel pickup/drop-off, water, and a delicious lunch overlooking a waterhole where more animals came to drink. Everything was smoothly organized – punctual, safe, and hassle-free. For anyone visiting Johannesburg who wants a genuine taste of the African bush without flying to Kruger or spending nights away, this day trip is a must-do. It’s tiring (long day, early start), but 100% worth it for the memories and photos. We returned to the city exhausted but exhilarated. Highly recommend – 5 stars all the way! Perfect for first-timers or anyone wanting an accessible safari experience. Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes Value for money? Excellent
