Great option for people who have limited time - We had a flight in the afternoon and only so much time to safari, so we went on the 3 hour tour. We were back with plenty of time, the driver was fantastic, and we got to see many animals

Witness collected us from Sandton and took us to Pilanesburg safari - Witness was an amazing guide and a lovely, lovely person. He looked after us and fascinated us with his stories, history and local knowledge. Definitely recommend!

Lucky and SA safari. - Lucky was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about his country and this tour. He was able to set up the tour with just a few texts and picked us up right about our hotel in Johannesburg. The tour in Pilanesberg was amazing. An incredible amount of animals and very safe and professional guide at the park. It was a long day. Bring water and some snacks. The pictures at the end of the day were great and really made you appreciate the tour Lucky set up.
