Wonderful full day Kruger tour and big 5 - Amazing all day trip into Kruger with Gustaf! We were in the park for about 8 hours including a 90 min lunch stop at the lovely restaurant inside the park. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, elephants, hippos, impala and a whole other array of native animals and birds. Gustaf knew exactly where to go and when and we often beat the rush and were the first car there so it wasn’t crowded and we had a great view of the animals with time to take some quick snaps and then also enjoy viewing the animals themselves. The park is very well kept and clearly valued by all who work there. All the staff we met were so friendly and my family and I truly had the best day. Couldn’t have asked for more! Would recommend MoAfrika tours and Gustaf highly.

Lion park experience - Visiting the Lion Park was truly a fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and welcoming. Our guides, Cipo and Zuni, made the visit even more special. They were not only knowledgeable about the animals but also very friendly, ensuring that we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour.

Amazing experience - Carson was an amazing companion and I must say a valuable employee cos he nudged me to getting another ticket to Soweto tomorrow which I initially didn’t have plans on doing. The lion park experience was amazing with a super guide. A fantastic experience in summary.

Wonderful experience all around - Our driver was super knowledgeable of the area, providing all of the history and facts. He was so friendly and amazing driver too. The safari was incredible and will never forget it. We got up close and personal with a giraffe and saw a lot of animals. Our safari tour guide was awesome too. Highly recommend this tour!!! My family, including my 18 year old daughter had a wonderful time.

Great morning experience - Prior to arrival the company provided good communications with updates . Carson our driver arrived on time and was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. He took care of everything at the venue, guided us around and collected our tickets. The safari itself was with a few other people and consisted of a 2 hour drive through different enclosures. We saw multiple types of animals, the giraffe and lions were amazing. Plenty of ostriches , wilderbeast and pumba. I would highly recommend.

Great day. Highly recommended. - Dusty was our guide, she is knowledgeable and funny, She introduced us to the animals as if they are her friends but continually reminded us that they are wild animals and should be respected as such. It was wonderful to see the animals up close from a secure vehicle.

Perfect start of the vacation - We booked the 13.00 tour on line the same day and got a quick confirmation from MoAfrica Tours. Our excellent driver Itu arrived perfect in time and drove us to the Lion Park. There he got us on a tour vehicle without any crowding on board and with professional guide and driver. In 2 hours we saw lions, cheetah, leopard, hyena, giraffe and much more very close.
