Pilanesberg Shared Transfer and 3 Hour Safari

Petrus was our tour guide. He was so informative. He kept the safari very interesting. He took lots of pictures for our family and very knowledgeable

Today we went for a drive with Petrus, the ranger who has accompanied us for the last few tours and who has been absolutely delightful!! The pickup was comfortable and fast and Petrus brought us safely to the Park since he is a very good driver ;) Thanks to him we were able to enjoy a very private, incredible sunrise, only the two of us and our guide while enjoying sightings of multiple animals! A sleeping rhino as well as giraffes, zebras with babies, elephants and even a male lion were spotted due to Petrus quick responses as well as incredible vision (20/20!!) We were additionally able to see the hot airballoons going up!! He also told us many many facts about the animals and just overall made us feel very comfortable and welcomed! We can recommend this experience and him as a guide specifically for everyone, families, solo travellers or friends, just like we are! We are so glad to have had him as our guide since he is overall just a lovely person and we can only recommend him with the highest compliments! If we could give more than five stars, believe us, we would!

We had an absolutely amazing sunrise safari today! Our guide Petrus was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. We were lucky enough to be just the two of us, which made the experience feel very personal. Petrus put so much effort into making the morning Game Drive special and shared lots of interesting information with us. He also knows all the good spots and when he tells you he’s got a plan - trust him, it’s gonna be a good plan! We saw so many rhinos, also with a baby, elephants, giraffes and a male lion. The pick-up was also smooth and perfectly organised. Overall, an unforgettable experience and we would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Petrus as your guide!

Wonderful experience! Petrus was a very skilled guide: he is professional, scharp, nice and well-prepared. We had a fantastic safari, spotting also a leopard! We reccommend it!

Safari guide Petros was excellent. We really appreciated his knowledge and driving skills — he explained everything related to the game (wildlife) clearly and well. The transfer driver was also great, with good, safe driving. The lodge was fine — not top-end, but satisfactory.

We saw with the driver Petros the leopard, rhinos, elephants, 🦛 , giraffe 🦒, etc excellent experience !!!

I normally don’t write reviews, but I felt that in this case it was important to share our experience because we were very disappointed with the organisation of our safari with MO Africa Tours. We booked a 3-hour safari starting at 9:00 am. First, we were not informed that there was a shared transfer available to the safari departure point, so we had to make our own way there. Before the safari started, three people who were already there wanted to sit together. Everyone else was already seated, but they refused to get into the vehicle and tried to make everyone change seats. This was not the company’s fault, but it caused another 15–20 minute delay before we could actually start. Once the safari began, we spent most of the time stopped and moved very little around the park. However, the biggest issue happened towards the end. After stopping for a break inside the park, we got back into the vehicle, only to be told shortly afterwards to get out again because someone had come to pick us up and take us back to our car. We then discovered that we had apparently been sharing the vehicle with a group that had booked a 6-hour safari, and our guide was not aware that we were supposed to leave after 3 hours. This meant that we lost even more time from an experience that was already shorter than expected. In the end, we feel that we lost both time and money and did not receive the 3-hour safari experience we had paid for. The main problem was the lack of communication and organisation between the company and the guide. Unfortunately, we left very disappointed. We expected much better organisation from a professional safari company and, based on our experience, we would not recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time with a amazing guide Petroz who was very informative & jolly 😊

I hired the transfer to a logde and everything went perfectly, they left me 30 minutes before the start of check-in. I took advantage and hired Safari, since the transfer leaves 5h45 from JOA and my check-in would be 14h. The ranger was amazing, she turned the car from both sides so everyone in the group could see the animals, without obstacles. He also gave a lot of information. The park is great to see various animals with ease. The transfer driver drove carefully and was very friendly. It was an excellent experience.

Great safari with a great guide in Megan👍👍
