    The trip was amazing! The tour guides Sonny and Mr Maponyane were enthusiastic and lovely.

    We appreciated that MoAfrika picked us up from our Airbnb to the Pilanesberg National Park, and back.

    As mentioned in my title, we were overall very happy with the experience with just one niggle - the booking mentioned we would have a breakfast at a game reserve after the experience. In the end we were provided with a spread of food for breakfast on a table after the experience in the bush. This was nice, but not entirely what I had expected in comparison to a hot and freshly cooked breakfast and, as a woman, I would have appreciated the breakfast in a lodge with the opportunity to use a bathroom! As it was, we were out from 4.30am and back at our own private lodge around 9.30am so I was unable to use a toilet in this time - something to bear in mind. My partner (male) went behind a bush to relieve himself, as did another male on the hot air balloon trip.

    Now, to go backwards...!

    We were booked on a Wed with a back up date of Thurs. Wed was cancelled due to bad weather - we did not receive a call or email to advise of this directly but when I checked with my lodge after our evening game trip they informed us the hot air balloon people had called them to advise it was cancelled. We were then called by the hot air balloon people in our room the next day and told that Thurs was fully booked and can we do Fri (our last day) instead. This was a little inconvenient as we had to check out that day but we didn't want to miss out so we went ahead.

    We then received whatsapp communication directly to confirm timings etc which was good. Our pick up driver actually arrived 15 mins early but was happy to wait. I wonder if this is intentional to give you time to get ready if you have overslept!?!

    Private drive to the take off place and the staff there were all very good and polite and it felt very safe. Lovely experience but the wind was very gentle so we didn't travel as far as we had expected. Cannot be helped. Experience itself was lovely. Not at all scary like I thought and not bumpy for take off or landing.

    The drive back to our lodge was excellent and was indeed like a mini game drive. Our drive (Sami, I believe his name was) was great and very knowledgable. We got lucky and saw lots of things on the drive including a very close encounter with elephants.

    I would recommend but I think the itinerary needs to be updated to advise re breakfast being something in the bush and toilet facilities not available etc.

    We travelled as a family of 8 and stayed in the beautiful Kwa Maritane hotel as part of this special family reunion trip.

    Our two wonderful driver/guides Shumba (day1) and Thomas (day 2 ) were excellent during the two covered drives in the park and spotted lots of animals including impala, zebras, elephants and giraffes and rhinos amongst the trees. They were very knowledgeable, good fun and knew their way around the large Pilanesberg area. The private transfers enabled us to travel in a large mini-bus with a separate luggage trailer so the van was very spacious for us all.

    We had lots of time for photos and a comfort stops both days on all 4 drives. The late afternoon and early morning drives, provided by a different company but included in our package, allowed us to see giraffes and elephants up close as they surrounded our truck and we even saw a leopard basking in the evening sun. The sun-set on day 1 was magnificent.

    We had the pleasure of seeing hippos out of the water on the day 2 drive with Thomas as it was overcast as well as two baby giraffes. The hotel was lovely and the staff were even nicer especially at lunch and dinner. The food at dinner and breakfast was very good and there was a good selection available in the buffet/carvery for both meals. There is a lovely terraced area to dine on and we had both lunch and dinner there. We saw a herd of impala come in to use the watering hole just below the hotel dining room terrace whilst we had dinner. My only tip is that if you have elderly/people with limited mobility people in your party that you request a room close to the dining room/reception area as the complex is quite hilly.
    Overall we enjoyed our hotel and drives in the park and the time as a family to experience the gorgeous Pilanesberg and its beautiful animals with Shumba and Thomas as our guides.

    What a great experience cruising through the nature reserve on the quad. The staff were very friendly at the reception and the guide (who's name iv forgotten) was really professional and fun. Very different experience being on the quad and coming that close to giraffes I can tell you when compared to sitting in a 4x4 truck. Highly recommended experience

    We had a wonderful time at the park with our guide Willem, who was so knowledgeable with lots of stories about precious park visits. We were so fortunate to see almost every animal bar the allusive buffalo in their own habitat. My favourite was seeing the leopard up close and hearing her cubs calling. The visit was finished off with a fab lunch at the lodge (portions were huge). I’d definitely recommend this excursion especially with this guide, an absolute pleasure. Don’t hesitate to book. I’d do it all again

    The Pilanesberg National Park tour was truly a one-of-a-kind experience! 🌟

    Our awesome team of drivers whisked us away in a comfy van at 6am, so we could start our Safari adventure by 9am. Right on time at 9am, our incredible guide T—affectionately known as "the one and only"—welcomed us with open arms. T’s expert knowledge of every animal, reptile, and plant we encountered was absolutely unmatched. This trip made me feel like a kid again, exploring my backyard—just with the added bonus of having beautiful game all around!

    For lunch around 12pm, we had a front-row seat to a group of Zebras—talk about a lunch with a view! 🦓 Afterwards, we headed out to see more of the Big 5 Game.

    Just a heads up—the weather was quite hot after 12pm, so make sure to wear sleeves and sunscreen if you're traveling during this time, and drink plenty of water. No worries though, as water is provided on the tour! Africa Moja even provided our group with binoculars, which I noticed other tours didn’t have. Trust me, those binoculars made a big difference in seeing even more of the wildlife up close.

    If you’re looking for a stress-free and fun Safari Day Trip, book with Africa Moja. They are definitely top-notch! 👍

    What an amazing experience. Our guide, John, was warm and friendly from the time he picked us up. What a wealth of knowledge. The Pilanesberg safari was awesome and we got to see so many animals. Sun City was so much fun. Thank you for an amazing experience.

    This was our 5th visit to Sun City and we were not left disappointed, we did 5 game drives during our stay all with Mankwe Gametrackers and as always they were fantastic. A big shout out to MK, Promise, Ernest and Mary they all made sure we had the best time and did their best to ensure they found as many animals as they could, we did see all of the big 5 which is a first as Buffalo always seemed to be hiding during our previous visits.

    I cannot speak highly enough of everyone we dealt with everything was easy to arrange, if your in the area and want a great trip into Pilanesberg then get in touch with Mankwe you won’t be disappointed 👍👍

    My trip to Pilanesberg National Park was absolutely fantastic! My guide, Cecile, was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. She did an excellent job of providing historical facts about the area as well as interesting facts about the animals we spotted. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and durable enough to navigate the rough terrain of the park. We got really lucky and saw four of the Big Five and also saw copious amounts of other wildlife. I’m so glad I booked this excursion and would absolutely book with Ulysses and Cecile again in the future. Highly recommend!

    I was very happy with the tour as it allowed me to connect with nature. The fauna and flora were incredible. Spending many hours in silence was a unique experience, something we’ve become unaccustomed to in the information age. It was also a lesson in patience, as we can’t control which animals will appear. I was lucky to spot the buffalo, which is said to be very difficult to see. However, I didn’t get to see the lion or leopard, which are supposedly easier to spot. But that’s life—always full of surprises. The driver, Arnold, ensured a safe journey to reach the park and was very kind. The ranger, Elvis, demonstrated great expertise in his work and had an infectious enthusiasm throughout the exploration in the park. It was worth every penny. Long live South Africa, its beauty, and its people!

    Very nice places to be in contact with nature! I saw a lot of rinos, we don't get to to do that on other safaris. On lion park, we interact with lion cubs and giraffes.
