Excellent company, and driver. Great tour - I recently returned on an amazing South Africa trip as a travel agent on a fam trip with Trafalgar, on my end date I had an almost midnight flight and had that whole time to do something and found another safari trip combined called Pilanesberg and Sun City (where the movie Blended was filmed) from Johannesburg it is about 3 hrs but if you have the time, I highly recommend. I found Stephenson tours through Getyourguide, but went direct as 2 ladies from my tour group joined and it was easier for payment wise. Reneleo in admin was excellent at communicatiins, driver was Collins and he just touched my heart and really looked after us, the 2 other ladies hired him private the next day to take them around. Collins picked us up from the Maslow Stanton prompt at 6am, he uses a car provided by Stephenson Adventures. Very clean, good air conditioning and wifi too! What a great touch. Collins is an extremely valuable employee, very well educated with history, passionate, kind. Please make sure he and others on tours are well looked after, they have families. I realize that some from Australia, parts of Europe, East India and so on do not have tipping culture but in SA there are a lot of political issues and high unemployment rate and low wages when you have someone like Collins and then your safari driver exp look after you, even 200 rand to each makes a huge difference to them so please TIP!! We had a guy named Peace and we ended up private, Pilanesburg very special and beautiful landscape, different then Kruger. Finally saw lions and the Rhinos. Sun City is like the Disneyworld in SA, with the tour combo we had just over 2hrs and I found the adult pool and drinks reasonable. For families there was so much to do, you would need a full day or so to do it all at Sun City. I highly recommend Stephenson Adventures, and ask for Collins!! He was the best

Amazing safari - We had a great time with Collins. He picked us promptly making sure we all had water and were comfortable. We enjoyed our ride to the park. He gave us very great information and history about the areas we passed. When we arrived he collected our tickets and provided the information about the tour. The safari tour was amazing! I highly recommend this park - we saw elephants,rhinos,giraffes, zebras, and male/female lions. Our safari guide was named Peace, and he did a great job spotting animals. Sun City was fun and a great resort.

A great great day with our guide Collins! - Collins made it a great day. His outgoing, friendly personality and knowledge made this a long but enjoyable day.The safari was fun but unfortunately we didn't see any lions. Collins guided us through Sun City which is a truly impressive sight. We would strongly recommend this excursion to anyone.

Great experience - We had a lovely time. Picked up in Johannesburg and driven to to pilanesburg. The safari was three hours and we say so many animals! Incredible. John, out your guide, was kind, friendly and fun. We enjoyed our day with him. We went to Sun City afterwards which was fine but we enjoyed the safari so much more. We would use them again!!

Great Day trip - We booked the Tour for Sun City yet it was Pilanesberg National Park that ended up being the WOW factor for us. Absolutely beautiful. We were picked up from the airport by Andrew and he took us to Pilanesberg. There we met Buffallo Soldier who took us on an exceptional tour. He really is the Alpha and the Omega in Pilanesberg. He knows the place and the animals and his passion about the Park and the wildlife is undeniable. The Palace was closed to the public but I booked myself in for a Pedicure at the Beauty Salon and got to get in after all. The valley of Waves and the Palace is a must.

nice experience in Pilanesberg and Sun city, worth to try - I booked a tour from Steve, the driver Mo picked up us on time, and full of patience, i had really good time during the safari ,we saw more 10 animals over there, and went toSun city. Sun city was nice and beautiful. This trip will spent around 12 hours,you have to have a good sleep the previous day. I definitely will choose them again.
