Great day with elephants and monkeys - The whole day was fantastic. Walking with the elephants and getting kiss was the highlight. The monkeys were so much fun and loved every minute of it. Daniel went out of his way to make it a great day.

Up close and personal with Monkeys and Elephants - This was such a cool tour. Very interactive. The monkey sanctuary was alot of fun. Those monkeys are hilarious. They jump on you, you can feed them and they're very playful. The Walk with the Elephants was incredible. Loved loved loved everything about. The guide was great and the trainers were so good and patient. Everyone really got to enjoy their own personal experience. Our driver MK was very nice pointing out interesting spots along the way and giving us the history We really enjoyed him

Thrilling to be up close to elephants and monkeys - My guide Bobo was magnificent, he could tell me lots of information about Johannesburg and he was lovely company. The tour with the elephants was thrilling and awe inspiring. And the monkeys were such fun, silly and playful like children. The tour guides were brilliant and so pleasant to everyone. Their English was impecable, even their wonderful humor was in perfect words. The knowledge and politeness was very impressive. I loved it! Ten stars

Fantastic Tour - My driver was excellent. He was engaging and made the one hour ride from the airport a lot of fun. I did the Monkey side first and the Guide was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. The monkeys were fun to watch them grab their favorite snacks. The Elephant walk was next. Once again this guide was very engaging and fun.. he took his time to explain exactly how to do everything and all 15 people in this group were having a blast. Highly recommend.

Original experience allowing to approach monkeys well. - We only visited the monkeys. Excellent feeding experience that allows them to approach us very closely. Pleasant visit on a wooden walkway with interesting explanations by a guide who knows how to answer our questions well. Nice frame.

After we went to Bush Babies & Monkey Sanctuary. We feed the monkeys, they were super duper cute. There were babies as well. Was in love with the Elephants and Monkeys.

Elephant walk very informative, not too many bush babies!!!!!! - It was great but we did expect more interaction with baby animals, as the name suggests. Walking with the elphants was great and very informative but there really wasnt many "Bush Babies""

Mpnkeys and elephants - Monkeys and elephants were very interesting. Learned a lot about both. Disappointed in that Bush Babies heads the name of this tour and the few bush babies are nocturnal so nothing to see. A little false advertising.
