A great way to spend the one day I had in South Africa! Pick up and drop off from my hotel at the airport made it easy. It was a long drive to and from Johannesburg, but worth it! I saw 4 of the big 5 on my first ever game drive, plus many other species. Martin was an excellent guide, he clearly cares and knows a lot about the animals.
Beautiful day

I booked a day trip to Pilanesberg National Park with MoAfrika Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Our driver Nicky was incredibly friendly, punctual and made the ride very enjoyable. Once in the park, we were guided by Kathy, who was absolutely fantastic. Her passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the park were truly impressive. Thanks to her, we got to see so many animals and learn and laughed so much, you could really feel how much she loves what she does! Everything was perfectly organized, and I felt well taken care of throughout the entire day. 100% recommended. I would book with MoAfrika Tours again anytime!
Sensational Safari with spectacular guide and secure Enterprise.

I liked it and was very well served by the guide Solly, who did an amazing safari with me and my husband in Pilanesburg Park. I definitely recommend MoAfrika Tours, it is a secure Enterprise with an amazing guide.

I really enjoyed the Safari tour. I've taken the full day Pilanesberg Safari tour. Everything was fabulous. We have seen many animals. We had a delicious Braai in the bush with the view on the lake. Our tour guide Debbie took a good care of us. She was explaining interesting facts about the animals which we have seen. Debbie also provided blankets and a cold water for us if needed. I would highly recommend the MoAfrika Safari tour. Thank you for the beautiful experience.
Awesome experience

I had a day off and then booked this event. Everything was perfect. The day before, you were informed about the pick-up time via WhatsApp. The driver was on time and the sprinter was new and clean. The safari cars were pleasant, the driver very competent. Das Essen im Restaurant top. Would have liked to book the 2 days tour.
Great as usual!
