we’ve seen the big five just like that and that’s all thanks to Petros the safari driver. Complete tour with lunch in the open. To be highly recommended.

Amazing experience from start to finish! The trip was really well organised with really good communication regarding pick up times etc. All the staff were super friendly - Sunny was our driver and he was great. We saw lots of animals including 2 leopards! All we missed out of the big 5 was the buffalo. Great value for money and would recommend to anyone!

We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to Pilanesberg, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Petrus. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire tour. Petrus shared a wealth of information about the wildlife, nature, and the park’s ecosystem, and explained everything in a clear and engaging way. He was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience at all times. Thanks to his experience and sharp eye, we managed to see far more wildlife than we ever expected on a day trip. The whole tour felt safe, well organized, and professionally run from start to finish. I would highly recommend this day trip — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Petrus as your guide. Truly an unforgettable experience!

We booked the tour very spontaniously to get out of the city, and get into nature. We are really happy! Good service, the guides were all so friendly and helpful. Especially Doreen (hope i remeber the name correctly) did a really good job guiding us to the animals. We hat perfect weather, we saw many animals.

Fantabulous, saw some animals. I forgot the name of our tour guide but she was also fantabulous so you should just give all of your female tour guides a raise 😿 she wore glasses sometimes idk if that help 💔 i would not recommend touching the wasp in the ladies bathroom, I think I made it mad.

We had a great time on this safari. The driver called us the night before to arrange pickup from our hotel, which made everything very convenient. Once we arrived at the park, the experience was even better than expected. You can see a lot of animals up close and in a relatively short amount of time. Our tour guide at Safari Martin was super friendly, and you can tell he is very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment. I not only had an amazing experience, but I also learned a lot about this beautiful country.
