Jason picked us on time and the 3 hr trip to the park was informative with nuggets of info about the scenes that we passed on the way. The safari with the game warden was just as it should be. Lots of viewings and close ups of many different types of animals. Without the keen eye of the game warden, and the extra height afforded by the open air truck, half of those animals would not have been spotted. Great experience.

Had an excellent experience with this tour. Pilanesburg National Park is really beautiful. Tranport from the hotel and back was smooth and Jason was a very safe driver. Lizzie was a great guide and driver during our tour, and she had a really sharp eye spotting and letting us know where the wildlife was at. We were fortunate and got to see four of the big five. Overall exceedingly pleased with the tour.

Our experience was just fantastic with Jason! My husband and I both felt that he had our best interest at heart and went out of his way to make everything run smoothly and be very enjoyable. Jason was very knowledgeable about his country, the safari as well as many other details along the way. Would highly recommend this company !

Just back from a fabulous one day safari. Thanks Jason for being such a gentleman. Your kindness and patience made it so much easier for me doing the trip solo. It was great to see all the beautiful animals in their natural habitat, the baby elephants were definitely my favourite.

This was an amazing day. We were taken from Johannesburg to Pilabesberg park and driven around by a knowledgeable, friendly and good at spotting animal, guide, Jason. It was an unbelievable experience watching the elephant families, the giraffes, zebras, rhinos and numerous other animals Jason pointed out to us. Jason was as excited as we were to glimpse the majestic creatures in their natural habitat. It was a day to be remembered. Fantastic tour!!
