Highly recommended!

Victoria_S, Oct 2024
Our driver to Pilanesburg was super friendly, provided lots of information about South Africa, it’s history, and additional areas to see. On the way home he drove us past the Union Buildings (government) which ended up being our walking excursion the next day. The park ranger on the safari knew where the animals would be at based on the time of day and communicated with the other park rangers when an animal was spotted. Pilanesburg itself is an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

Thank you Vic. We are glad you had amazing experience.

Best day of my time in South Africa!

This was an amazing experience! I only wish I could have gone back for more days! The park is absolutely beautiful and our guide on the safari, Bernard, had a wealth of knowledge to share on each animal that we saw. It was incredible to see three of the big five, the elephant, rhino, and lions! As well as so many other animals. My personal favorite was a mother cheetah with two cubs. In addition to the extraordinary day in the park I had the most wonderful driver who picked me up at my hotel and took me to Pilanesberg. Anyone who had the pleasure of having Khongi as their driver is certainly in from a treat. We talked the entire two hour drive in both directions and it was like spending the day with an old friend. Thank you so much, Nhlalala Travel for an incredible day!

We had a really good time at Pilanesberg. Were picked up early in the morning by Martin who gave us a lot of information on the regions we passed an South Africa in geneal on the way to the park. Reaching Pilanesberg, we were introduced to Desmond, our guide for the day who drove us around and gave some explanations on the animals we saw. Were joined by a nice group of people who we also had lunch with. All in all a super nice day trip! Highly recommend when in Pretoria/Joburg area.

The most memorable parts were seeing a herd of elephants feeding on trees & crossing the road. Also saw white rhinos, plenty of impalas, giraffes & a very, very small tortoise. Terrific tour guide ( “ T” ).
