5.00Words wouldn’t describe the beauty of the scenery nor the depth of knowledge of our guide. She was extremely patient when it came to not only seeing the animals but often positioning for an upcoming better view.
Best day ever.

5.00This was our 5th visit to Sun City and we were not left disappointed, we did 5 game drives during our stay all with Mankwe Gametrackers and as always they were fantastic. A big shout out to MK, Promise, Ernest and Mary they all made sure we had the best time and did their best to ensure they found as many animals as they could, we did see all of the big 5 which is a first as Buffalo always seemed to be hiding during our previous visits. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone we dealt with everything was easy to arrange, if your in the area and want a great trip into Pilanesberg then get in touch with Mankwe you won’t be disappointed 👍👍
Amazing safari

5.00OMG what a day we had! Our Game Tracker was B.Y. and he was superb, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and more! Lions, elephants, hippos, zebra, giraffe and loads more, it was a truly magical experience and he ripped around in the truck after radio connect with his other trackers so we could get to see all of these wonderful animals. We had so much fun and we were very grateful to be with such a superb game tracker! We were supplied with a bottle of water, chocolate bar, crisps and a carton of pineapple juice for the ride. We also had a W/C stop half way. We honestly couldn't have asked for any more!
Carry your own snacks. They really need to improve on snacks
