Love MoAfrika - I contacted MoAfrika last minute for a next day game drive and they were responsive, as well as extremely nice. After having had a bad experience with CTK Tours, it was refreshing to be in the hands f such an honest and professional company. Our driver Sunny was on time, friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. I absolutely enjoyed my time on my tour with them, and will exclusively use them while I am in the area.

First experience with safari - Overall trip is welled manage. Driver arrive on time for pick up . Have few hrs exploring inside the safari park. We able to view Zebra, giraffes, hippo, rhinoceros and elephants. Too bad we din meet lion and leopard, will suggest to have trip overnight so have bigger chances to meet Lion and leopard.

Amazing Time - Great adventure! Visited with a couple of friends. Our driver arrived on time and drove us to the park. We had a great time seeing elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and other wildlife. Well worth it.

Awesome experience. Totally worth it. - This safari was fabulous from the moment we were picked up to the end. We saw many, many animals close up. Everyone was ultra friendly. Vehicles and facilities were in good order and clean. Lunch was good. Views were beautiful. Highly recommend. Note that the drive from Joburg to the park took a few hours, but very interesting drive too.

Good tour but poor foode included - Even on a raining day we coupd see most of the animals. Food included was not good I was expecting some local dishes not just sandwiches. They should offer better experience like a closed car for raining days. I got all wet.

Good Tour - The tour was fun and we enjoyed it. We were able to take lots of pictures and enjoy the tour. Unfortunately we didn't see the leopards and lions because it was very warm that day and the animals were hiding. The previous traveler, I think his name was Letope, told us a lot about the animals and so I was able to acquire more knowledge. Sunny, also our tour guide, who took us there and back home again, he was fantastic! He created a good atmosphere and told and showed us a lot along the way. I learned a lot of it. Sunny is a very funny, joyful and loving man who really enjoys his job and likes to make people laugh! He made a really good job! So Thank you to sunny and Letope!
