- 350amnat0 contributionsGreat professional company- service, communication and punctuality spot onI used this company to book my return transfer from Johannesburg airport to my lodge 2.5hours away for myself, mum and son. I also used this company to book our Quadbiking experience. I cannot fault this company at all. They had the best prices available and did a discount as we booked the quad biking too. The communication via whatsapp was spot on, i received the invoice link, up to date communication regarding drivers and confirmation on pick up times the day before and on the day. All drivers were on time and extremely friendly. Darkie was waiting for us at the airport with a sign, Colbert from Sundown city Quad biking picked us up from the hotel, did our one hour quad experience and dropped us back off. Our return tranfer was smooth too, everything was well organised and on time. Will definitely use again. thank you.Written 11 June 2024

- kieranlai0 contributionsBest way to spend our 2 year AnniversaryIt was mine and my partners special 2 year anniversary gift to each other and we had an amazing time at the Pilanesberg Safari! We had clear communication with the driver on the day via WhatsApp and was picked up on time. As soon as we got there it was raining but it didn’t dampen the day at all and our guide was very funny, throwing joke after joke! (They even gave out blankets for us to stay warm). We got to see Lions, Rhinos, Elephants, Giraffes and many more…the guide had so many interesting facts about the animals. From morning till 6pm we were well looked after and safe! The bonus was how tasty the food was during our lunch break. Would highly recommend this trip to others! 😊Written 3 January 2023

- Michael T0 contributionsExcellent experience and will do it again!Great experience that you'll never forget. Picked up at hotel, and traveled to site. Took a couple of hours to get there, but driver stopped along the way for snacks and a break. Arrived at safari and met guide. Went over rules and safety expectations before venturing into the park. Spent several hours in the park before stopping in the park for lunch. After, continued though the park before existing the safari and heading back to the hotel. This was a great experience seeing animals we don't have in North America. Will definitely be back for a longer safari as this was a day long.Written 27 December 2022

Although we missed seeing the cats, Tiaan's expertise and enthusiasm greatly enriched our experience. His knowledge and passion for wildlife made our adventure unforgettable. We highly recommend Tiaan for anyone looking for an extraordinary safari experience.

We did the ultimate tour that included lunch and pickup from Joburg, and absolutely everything about this trip exceeded our expectations! The weather cooperated to make our first safari the best one ever. All the staff and drivers were kind. The lunch was great with options for all our dietary needs. We got to see 3 of the Big 5 animals, including the elusive leopard! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny, making the educational parts of the tour engaging and memorable. It also set the stage for connecting with the other people in our vehicle. I can’t wait to go again sometime to try to catch the last 2 animals we didn’t see this time. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience, and honestly, for the price, couldn’t ask for more. The guide was also amazing and the hotel pick up was also on point. It was too bad we couldn’t see any of the big cats since it’s was a very very hot day, which means they were all resting under the shade far from where we could see them with the naked eye. The guide did see them and tried to show them to us. All I could see was the ears in the distance. I will be going back this probably during the winter time, since it will be cooler and probably more chance to see them. Don’t sleep on this, and honestly do it.
