Great experience

5.00Worth getting up at 4am!! Although communication before the experience was a little choppy - confusion about pickup time and place - the game drive was fantastic. Our ranger was very informative, and the rusks and Amarula for our coffee were a nice touch. Pilanesberg roads offered many challenges - huge potholes, some routes unnavigable, we were still fortunate to see a lioness teaching her cubs to hunt, and an old, shunned male, walking alone on the road. Highly recommend this game drive. I have done many, and it's hard to get it wrong, but our guide/ranger made this one memorable.
Fantastic!!!

5.00Petrus Mosehla is an excellent ranger. He is a good driver has a lot of knowledge and listens to people in the car. He takes time for the people to shoot pictures and films. He makes the drive very joyable with his humor
Perfect half day safari to fit into your stay.

5.00MoAfrika suggested we do this on our last day in Pilanesberg as a way to squeeze a final experience in and I am so happy that we did. This excellent experience offers a friendly guide, Jones, as well as many wild animal sightings like buffalos, gazelles, rhinos, lions and many more. Despite the last minute booking, MoAfrika was able to accommodate to us and handled everything well.
Absolutely Stunning reserve

5.00I used this company to book a transfer to my lodge from JHB. Driver was on time and had a clear sign with him for pickup. The WhatsApp line responds very quickly. Received my invoice via a link with clear step by step communication with times as well as drivers details. Received my pick up details and drives+guides names the day before and on the day which were clearly communicated as asked on sms/WhatsApp and email. The tour was kept on time as scheduled and we were dropped off on time as per promised.
