Rudie and Agnes of Felleng Tours organized a bucket list trip for us. We had no idea where or how to start planning the trip until I emailed Rudie. We travelled from Los Angeles to Victoria Falls to Kruger National Park to a Soweto Tour. Every detail was meticulously planned. From the many airport pick-ups to an escort across the Zimbabwe/Zambia border to an amazing safari at Thornybush Private Reserve. I highly recommend Felleng Tours to plan any trip in Africa! We will use them again for sure!

Agnes is like every mother and Rudie like every father.
Tshukudu lodge by Felleng Tours. They are a family outfit and I would entrust my children to them at any time. This is not your typical tour agency and if you need an adopted family in Johannesburg, look no further. Agnes took great care of everything.

Where to begin! Agnes at Felleng Tours was the most amazing guide and host. From my initial contact to the end of our tour, we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Agnes picked us up at our hotel and took us on our private tour to Soweto, Mandela house and the Apartheid Museum. Agnes' experience and knowledge made our tour so enjoyable. It didn't take long for us to notice how well respected Agnes is in the community. She is wonderfully kind and we felt that we had made a friend. A top-notch experience and one that we will not forget. I highly recommend Agnes and Felleng Tours. You will not be disappointed and the knowledge you take away is immeasurable. Thank you Agnes, you are one of a kind!

We have used Felleng Tours many times, but this was our friends first visit to South Africa. From the minute we met our guide Ben at the airport, it was obvious he was going to make this a very special visit. He enhanced our trip by suggesting other attractions that none of us had visited. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Felleng Tours.

My colleagues and I enjoyed an amazing day at Pilanesberg with Rudie guiding us through an awesome experience. Simply a bucket-list event, so many incredible creatures observed in their own habitats. Rudie’s knowledge and humor were icing on the cake!

Did a day’s tour of Soweto with Agnes. She clearly knows the people at the tourist sites who were very friendly and welcoming. Somewhere with an optimistic buzz about it. The Apartheid Museum is thorough and well presented. A shocking system.

Another great organised visit at Pilanesberg, Tshukudu Lodge. Agnes did a real good job and sent a driver who took us safely to Pilanesberg and back. Our stay at the Tshukudu Lodge was as well great and we are thankful that we had that seamless travel organised by Felleng Tours done by Agnes Prinsloe. We will choose Felleng Tours again!
Thanks Frank & Daniela

Pros: Very responsive to emails.
Cons: We signed up for the "Sterkfontein Cave Tour" (ie. Cradle of Humankind), thinking we'd be part of a private/semi-private tour of the caves given by a Felleng Tours tour guide. Turns out the person who drove us to/from the caves was only there as a driver; once we arrived at the caves, he purchased tickets for us at the box office and the actual tour was given by a staff member of the Sterkfontein Caves!
The driver was very nice and friendly, but I believe the information on the website was misleading; at the same time, there was no attempt to explain what you are paying for. In retrospect, we could have driven our own car to the caves, but I would have no problem paying for a "car service" if I knew that was what I was paying for.
We paid R650 per person. The entrance fee for the Sterkfontein Caves is R150 per person, so that means we were paying R500 PER PERSON just for the drive, even though we are all sitting in the same car (we had 5 people in our group)!!! Needless to say, we all felt ripped off by this experience. It is a shame because we specifically chose this company due to its high ratings on TripAdvisor.

Dear Candy
Thank you for your input on Tripadvisor.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that you have been ripped off by the price you've been charged on the tour, however considering the R500 which each of you had to paid covers a few things which might not have been mentioned, these charges not only covers for the safely of our clients through passenger liability cover and well maintained vehicles; petrol, our time and toll fees.
Our first priority is for the safety of our clients and I trust you felt safe when driving you to Sterkfontein Caves and back.
Happy travelings
Kind regards
Rudie

We booked two days with Felleng, Day 1 Rudie took us to the Cheetah sanctuary in the morning which was amazing really loved it there and enjoyed the African wild dogs as much as the cheetahs and being able to learn more and touch a cheetah was a once in a lifetime experience. In the afternoon we went to the cable car (a bonus on the day that Rudie went out of his way to make possible) which was another great breathtaking experience.
In the afternoon we went to the Elephant sanctuary which was great getting up close to these amazing creatures. Rudie was fantastic and told us lots of information you just can't get doing it alone, or if you are part of a large tour group.
Day 2 Agnes took us to the lion park in the morning which was amazing getting close to the lions. Agnes was also amazing taking our photos driving us through the park and giving us the special treatment. In the afternoon we went to Soweto and many cultural experiences such as Mandela house and even added in the apartheid museum which wasn't planned. Nothing was an issue and again great service. This was a first time trip to Johannesburg and we were a bit nervous about it but Rudie and Agnes took great care of us and gave us plenty of insiders tips. Thank you both for an amazing time if you are coming to South Africa please contact Agnes to arrange your tours!!!!

WOW thank you so much for the great review on Tripadvisor. We really appreciate it. We had a great time taking you around for two days. The interacting with the animals are always so nice and lucky that we did this early in the morning before getting too crowded. Soweto is the best place to learn about the history of South Africa. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your trip in South Africa.

We used Felleng Tours for airport transport 4 times plus a day tour of Soweto and environs. Agnes was a great guide, explaining the complicated history of South Africa in a fair-minded way and showing us some sights that aren't in the guide book eg Credo Mutwa Cultural Village. She is enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable -- a lovely person most of all.
We also recommend Felleng for airport transport. I want to note in particular that they hung around waiting for us after a very long flight delay and change of airline. They did not receive our message about the last minute travel plan changes but they stayed put in the airport waiting for us. This kind of customer service is very appreciated by tired travellers!

Hello. I will be travelling to Johannesburg next month and I will have some days off I would like to visit the country. I will have two full days available on 16-th and 17-th of June and half a day until 4-5pm on 23-rd. I have never been to Africa before, so I would like to see the city and perhaps enjoy the Pilanesberg Safari. What would you recommend to see during that time and what are the prices of the tours? They do not have to be indyvidual tours as I am happy to join any group. I will be staying in hotel very close to the airport. Perhaps you send me information when the email issue is solved as contact information is not permitted here.
