The best tour experience you could ever book!
The most incredible tour guide I've ever had - Chris! Chris picked me up from my residence at 6:00am and we drove 2.5 hours to Pilanesberg from Johannesburg. Along the way, Chris had an endless vault of knowledge about the surrounding areas and its history - making the drive seem a lot quicker!
When we arrived at Pilanesberg, I joined a 9-seater open air 4x4 with 8 other travelers who booked from other tours. The tour group that took us around Pilanesberg was led by Kgabo Safaris. The guide, Dumi, was brilliant. He was very knowledgable, professional, and most of all patient. Dumi taught us all so much with his easy way of communicating and vast knowledge of all things South Africa. Dumi was incredibly friendly with a dry sense of humor that put everyone in a good mood. After 3 hours of touring, we stopped for lunch where I met back up with Chris.
I said farewell to my Kgabo Safari friends and went with Chris to a new lunch spot. On the way to lunch, we stopped by multiple look-out areas which are fenced in and allow you to see over the water and really take in the beauty of the park. Chris provided binoculars which helped a ton! We ate lunch at Legends, which is a resort/restaurant that overlooks the park with fabulous views. After lunch, Chris and I continued in his SUV around areas of the park I hadn't yet seen. After 4 more hours of touring around the park, we called it a day and Chris drove me back to my residence.
I highly recommend Cashan Africa Tours! Chris and Penny plan out everything so you don't have anything to worry about - you can solely enjoy the park and all of the beauty it offers! Chris' knowledge of ecology, geology, geography, history, etc make this trip totally worthwhile as you understand everything you are witnessing throughout the day and learning along the way!
