  Had a great experience with this tour! Everything went smoothly and according to plan. Jason and the safari guide, Peter, were both super professional and friendly. Timing was perfect and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Definitely recommend it! Had an amazing time on this safari! We saw so much and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Totally recommend it!

  We were super well served by Mr. Jason who picked us up at the hotel on schedule, very friendly and helpful. At the reservation we picked up our transport with the guide Peter, who also answered questions about the animals and explained everything. We were not lucky to see the "big five" but the top of the safari was the fight of giraffes and elephants walking on the street and stopping traffic. Lunch was in a place where giraffes and elephants also pass.

  There really is no better option than open vehicle for experiencing wildlife. This is not a zoo. The more time you spend the higher the chance to see some incredible animals. The open vehicle drivers stay in contact and help eachother out to see as many interesting species. We even got to see a beautiful leopard from very close. The grasses are high - in an open vehicle you will be above them and see more. The trip from and to Joburg with Jason - comfortable and with a great conversation. Learned so much about South Africa. Jason is a very good driver, felt safe at all time. Thank you for the great trip!

  Jason from Deeprift Ventour picked us up on time at 5.30 am from our hotel. He made us feel very comfortable. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to give us a lot of information on site during the drive to and from Pilanesberg National park. A great companion for the day. The excursion was everything we hoped for and a lot more. My wife and I had an amazing time from start to finish. We managed to see 3 of the big five. Our guide Thabo was super experience, funny and friendly, with a lot of knowledge about the animals and the savannah. Would 100% use again and definitely recommend!

  We enjoyed a great day with Jason and were lucky to see all Big 5 during our day trip to Pilanesburg. It was late in the day when we booked for the next day and Jason was quick to confirm our activity for early the next morning. We started on time and on the drive to the reserve Jason shared his knowledge of local communities and their history. He pointed out various landmarks we saw along the way and was eager to answer any questions we had. Jason is a conscientious driver and we felt lucky to have booked with him. A great day trip from Johannesburg with Jason!

  We had an absolutely fantastic day on our one day pilanesburg safari from joburg. We were picked up by Jason from our hotel bang on time. We had to change hotels last minute due to an unforeseen issue, but this was no problem. Jason is friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgable. He discussed points of interest on the 2.5 hour drive to Pilanesburg national park. He chatted as much or as little as we wanted and was interesting and engaging without being ‘in your face’. His knowledge of the areas surrounding joburg is great, and he answered all the questions we had, and made the journey interesting for us. We arrived at the park early, so Jason took us on a short drive into the park, enabling us to see an elephant close up, before our tour had even officially started! He then dropped us at the park reception and introduced us to our park ranger for the day. (See other review for actual safari). Afterwards, Jason met us and took us for our included lunch. Thinking this would be the usual fairly average excursion lunch, we were very pleasantly surprised when Jason took us to one of the nicest lodges in the whole national park, and told us to choose what we wanted from the a la carte menu! We didn’t have the heart to choose fillet steak, but we had a lovely lunch, beer, and soft drinks and left very full - all included in the very reasonable price of around £190 per person for the whole day. He then offered to take us back into the park in his own vehicle, but as we had already had an incredibly good sighting of all the animals wanted to see, we headed for home. On the way back he continued to add interest with a little bit of commentary (Jason uses a microphone even though his vehicle is small, which stops you having to strain forwards to hear him on the noisy roads - a great little touch). We arrived back at our hotel almost exactly 12 hours after we left, having had a brilliant day. Would recommend Jason (who is a one man band, running his own company, and deserves your support) to anyone. Brilliant brilliant brilliant.
