The day trip was great - saw elephants, zebras, lions, hippos, giraffes, baboons, impalas and more. Jason was an excellent guide who provided lots of interesting conversation and information about South Africa during the drives to the park and back. He was also an excellent/cautious driver during some tough weather conditions with the storm that day. Would definitely recommend!

Great day at Pilanesberg...

Great day at Pilanesberg National Park! Jason picked us up on time and provided a lot of interesting information on the way. The drive to and from the park passed by quickly and we were so happy that we got to see ALL of the animals we wanted to see at the park, plus a few more!

A perfect and all inclusive day trip Safari

Published on Dec, 2024

I decided to book Pilanesberg only one day before the scheduled tour, and my family and I had an incredible experience. Pilanesberg had it all, and more importantly, the experience was all inclusive, including direct pickup from our vacation home. Communication was stellar at all times.our friendly driver, Jason, made us feel right at home with excellent driving, hosting, and interesting information along the 3 hour drive to the reserve. The actual reserve was vast and incredible, I highly recommend doing the full day, our second half of the trip we saw 4 out of the big 5!! I did not expect that at all. Even when not seeing animals, the drive is gorgeous. Jason was right on time to meet us when the safari was over and indulged us taking a few more photos at base camp with no pressure. The drive home was seamless and relaxed. 11/10 experience. Embrace everything!
