Our tour guide today was TSHEPO. We are happy and satisfied with his service and attention to us and our needs and expectations... he made sure everyone is comfortable and safe and all our luggage taken cared of. his knowledge not only of their history but also of current events is impeccable! Highly recommended

Great tour with our guide Léon
5/5

Here is the English translation:

A safari with our guide Léon, who was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. We saw many animals, and he did his best to find them. We got to see elephants and rhinoceroses up close. We could only see the lions from a distance, but as our guide told us, it's Mother Nature who decides which animals we get to see each day. The park is also very beautiful.

Worthy experience
4/5

My best friend and I booked a Pilensberg day-trip via GetYourGuide 3 days before going, for 128€ per person.

Our pick up spot and time was at the @SandtonHotel at 6:00 AM. We didn’t stay at the hotel, so we had to choose it as a common pick up spot. We arrived at 5:56 and were told by the reception that the driver came at 5:45 and left a couple of minutes later. The reception had to contact the driver’s boss on our behalf so he could return to pick us up… We then enjoyed an eventless ride to a gas station after 1h for a break and finally to the reserve.

The morning “game” was good, it lasted close to 3 hours. We saw hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras but no cats.

Lunch was good, and part of the package. Beef burger + a soda, it was good and served in a nice spot on the reserve.

The afternoon “game” was more disappointing, as it only lasted 1h25min, and for a long while, animals were hidden. We ended up seeing the same animals as in the morning + a giraffe up close. Still no cats.

Although nobody can control animals’ behaviors, the afternoon game felt rushed. I wish it lasted longer to increase chances to see rarer animals and enjoy the nature.

Desmond was a great guide, really funny and knowledgeable, with whom we felt in good hands.

Dear Jean,

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your Pilanesberg day-trip experience with us on Safaribookings.com.
We’re sorry for the confusion at pickup. While we collect from all hotels in Gauteng, GetYourGuide lists only select pickup points. Our driver arrived at @SandtonHotel at 5:45 AM and, not seeing you, proceeded with other Sandton pickups to stay on schedule. We regret any inconvenience this caused and appreciate the hotel’s help in ensuring you were picked up.

Regarding the game drives, our full-day Pilanesberg safari includes approximately 6 hours inside the park, with 4.5 to 5 hours of game viewing and a 1 to 1.5-hour lunch break. The morning drive typically lasts around 3.5 hours, while the afternoon drive is shorter, about 1.5 hours. This structure maximizes animal sightings, as mornings are cooler and animals are more active, whereas afternoons can be hotter, with animals often seeking shade. We’re sorry the afternoon felt rushed—we’ll ensure our guides clarify this difference upfront to set clear expectations.


We’re thrilled you enjoyed the morning drive, spotting hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras, and a giraffe up close, as well as the lunch at the reserve. While we can’t control animal behavior, we understand the hope to see rarer animals like cats.


It was wonderful to hear your kind words about Desmond’s humor and knowledge—thank you for highlighting his great work!

Thank you again for choosing us and for your support. We wish you the best on the rest of your travels and hope to welcome you and your friend back for another adventure.
Warm regards

Anthony
