5.00Nice game drive courtesy of guide John on our last day. Fine gentleman, quiet and experienced, knows a lot about all animals and birds. Seen some really cool stuff because John followed the trail of buffalo. We ended up in a herd of buffalo and elephants. Impressive!

5.00We recently had a couple of Safari’s with MY AFRICA while staying in Hoedspruit and we were blown away by the level of customer service, even at 5am in the morning. We had amazing sightings of wildlife, saw 4 of the big 5 in a space of an hour as we did Pridelands as well as Blue Canyon wich are both big five properties but obviously this can vary. The guides are very knowledgeable, incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met! EXCELLENT !!! The safari exceeded my expectations in terms of experience. You will never go wrong booking a safari with MY AFRICA❤️🐾🐆🌿

5.00Great experience to do the game drive with the guide. Our favorite: Olifants River Game Reserve: Beautiful and in addition we had a top guide: Werner. He told us a lot, showed us many animals and even spotted the rare Pels Fishing Owl. It was also very well organized. Quick response, clear and a deal is a deal. That is top! We also rented a villa from Homes of Africa and rented the car from My Africa and also same experience: Villa and car both top level, good quality, well received, well arranged, good communication, no surprises. We wanted the car a day earlier, also no problem, within 5 minutes answer and arranged. The animals around the villa are also very nice, villa is beautiful. We will definitely come back and will definitely book with you! Ard & Yvonne
An unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!

5.00Cannot recommend this highly enough!!! Steve and Shane were the best guides that we had throughout our trip. They took exceptional care of our family which included our 2 kids aged 12 and 14 and my mother. Not only were they exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife, but they also were extremely entertaining. Absolute highlight was spotting a cheetah who had just taken down an Impala, but we also saw loads of other wildlife.
Special!
