Such an amazing experience!! - What a great experience! We were picked up from our hotel on time and the driver was very personable and gave us info along the drive. Our tour guide Benny was the best!! I have no idea how he spotted some of the animals but we all were so thankful for the experience he gave us. I would absolutely recommend this to people to do. I wish we had more time to do a multi day tour.

Best guide and best safari ever. - Julanda And bakgatla tours you rocked it and gave us an unrealistic expectation for future safaris. Of all the safaris I have done - this one was by far the best and had amazing action from lions elephants and leopards through to black and white rhino. I must find out when J is in again when I return.

A must visit tourist attraction. - Nature and animal lovers, this is a must visit tourist attraction. It might even unveil that adventurous attitude you did not think you have. This area adds to the beautiful landscape of South Africa. I will go again and again especial when I want to get away from City buzz.

Please pay attention to the tour time - The explanation said it was 9 hours, but it was actually scheduled for 12 hours (6 hours in the safari). It may be a good idea to check the time in advance. I told them that I had a flight and asked them to limit my stay in the safari to 3 hours. Both the agent and the tour guide responded quickly. There was a time change, but the driver came to pick me up at the specified time. The pick-up and drop-off locations were also flexible. We only stayed in the safari for 3 hours, but we were able to see animals such as elephants, giraffes, and zebras, so it was a satisfying tour.

Not as expected - From reading the description of this tour we expected a private tour. After we were picked up 30 minutes late we went to pick up another passenger. Upon arrival at Pilanesburg NP we were asked to get into a large approx 30 passenger safari truck, which was already almost full...only seats on the inside aisle. We told our driver "no way" so he called the office, & eventually put me on the phone with someone, who informed me it was only private from Johannesburg to the park, & then a shared game drive. In any event, we did not have a private transfer to the park. With the delay, the safari vehicle had already departed so we had to go in the next one and did get better seats. The drive itself was ok, the guide was good and knowledgeable. The park scenery itself was very nice. We did not see a great many animals, mostly zebras, giraffes, impalas, warthogs and a few elephants. The lunch that was included was sick and we mostly just ate the vegetables and rice. Overall, the content of the tour was "just ok", food terrible and the description of the tour mis-leading.
