          Upon arrival at the Cullinan Diamond Mine, you will be provided with a hard hat and torches. Thereafter the Cullinan representative will guide you through the mining experience. The diamond was renamed 'Cullinan' as part of its centenary celebrations and to link the mine to the heritage of the Cullinan diamond, which provided the two main polished diamonds within the British Crown. It is reported that the 2 big diamonds on the British crown were extracted from the Cullinan mines.

          Poor Customer Service
          Booked this trip weeks ago. The name of my hotel was indicated on the ticket/booking as the pickup point. The night before (and after the point I could cancel) I received a message from Kasia to say they had “noticed” my hotel was outside their pickup area and requested I go to a different pickup point at a different time to that stated on the ticket. Kasia refused to refund the trip and the person with whom I was communicating refused to give me the email address of the director of the company. Poor service.

          Great Tour!
          I would highly recommend this tour. We were able to work with the tour company to customize some of the locations. Our guide Ben was fantastic! He was on time and was available provide information at every stop. If you are looking to get out of the city this is a great choice.

          Decent day trip from Johannesburg
          The pick up time was way too early, had over an hour at the park to wait for the safari. The actual safari was okay, jam packed vehicle on a Sunday with young children who didn't understand keeping quite while looking at the animals. All in all, Pilanesberg is a good park.

          ''So FAR I '' SO Good .......
          A dream holiday , culminating in a visit to small ,well run safari. For the purist it might seem manufactured as the animals seemed to appear on cue for a photo shoot. The Pilanesberg National Park Safari Experience was a relatively safe way to get up close to the animals in their natural environment . We went out in the early mornings, mid-afternoons and again in the evenings, and on each trip we saw something different. This was an exciting grand finale of our holiday in magnificent South Africa.

        The Cullinan kimberlite pipe near Pretoria was discovered in 1902 and open pit mining commenced at the ‘Premier’ mine (as it was then known) in 1903. Ore extraction has been by underground mining methods since 1946. Ore extraction has varied between 2 and 5 Mt per annum and ore treatment between 2 and 7 Mt per annum.
        The mine was renamed Cullinan as part of its centenary celebrations and to link the mine to the illustrious heritage of the Cullinan diamond, which provided the two main polished diamonds within the British Crown Jewels (the 530 carat Great Star of Africa and the 317 carat Lesser Star of Africa)

        Only gave this 1 star bcoz I couldn't give it a 0, booked the tour in advance and night before informed the underground tour had been canx-which was a flat out lie as when we got there the tour had been suspended for months, also we naturally couldnt get our money back as we were only told less than 8 hours before trip so no refund allowed!-driver forgot to tell us we needed passports which forced us to turn around and come back adding hours, tour was terrible and over in about half an hour, hand out for tip as usual but 1 wasn't given, one of the worst things we have ever done
