Caring and enthusiastic
Lamby was our guide. One day for Kruger safari and one day for paranoma view. He is a very excited guide to bring us to see the animals in the safari. He made sure we got a good view and different angles. He has also a very cheerful attitude !

Memorable Kruger Safari
We booked a 5-day Kruger safari and stayed at the Radisson Safari Hotel. Ruben our MoAfrika contact was very helpful with our booking and ensuring a smooth reservation process. However we did have to follow him up to let us know when our balance payment was due. The hotel was luxurious, had a comfortable superior room, served good food at the Mirage restaurant and had friendly and helpful staff. Special mention here for Portia, our server at Mirage. Her cheerfulness and pleasant demeanor made us want to always sit in the area she was assigned to. The only downside to this hotel: slippers and bathrobes were not complimentary in the superior rooms. Front desk told us these were available only in the premium rooms.
Day 1 had us on a Sunset Drive in a private game reserve. Our tracker Gift and guide Terrence pulled all the stops in getting us to spot a lot of wildlife like impala, zebra, giraffe and 2 of the Big 5: elephant and lion which was just a few meters away from our vehicle! Terrence would run over dead trees and bushes to make our own road as Gift pointed out the way where certain animals were spotted.
On Day 2 we did our Kruger Game Drive. Note that Radisson is about an hour away from the Kruger gate that we used. So leaving the hotel at 5:30 am in 11°C weather, speeding down the highway at 80 kph in an open top vehicle was freezing cold! The ponchos provided by our guide Lambs did little to keep us warm. But shortly after the sun rose as we entered the national park, we spotted a group of cheetahs - a few adults and some cubs. It was an exhilarating start to the safari. Lambs was as informative as he was funny in describing the wildlife and explaining their behavior patterns. He was so determined to find us the elusive leopard and rhino but it wasnt meant to be. Instead we got to see the Cape Buffalo, the 3rd of the Big 5. Aside from this animal, we saw hippos, gnu, zebra, ostrich, wildebeest, and many more wild animals roaming free all around us, some like the giraffes and elephants were just on the side of the road. We even saw a herd of elephants cross the road just as we were passing through. Seeing 3 out of the Big 5 and all the other magnificent creatures made this Game Drive a superb experience. Also worth noting: unlike the Sunset Drive on D1 where the guide and tracker would drive the jeep into dense bushes and undergrowth, the guide in Kruger was allowed to use only the paved and gravel roads. He isn't allowed to drive into the brush if looking for wildlife to spot. Also, Kruger is a very safe place. We could leave our bags and jackets in the jeep while having lunch, and when we came back, everything was where we left them.
The Panorama Route on D3 took us to some very breathtaking sights. The Blydes Canyon, God's Window, Potholes, etc were all awesome places to see. It was so hard to capture the natural beauty of the landscape in photographs. Our guide was Gustaf, a very competent and safe driver. We just wish he could provide more information about the places we were seeing such as origins of the names and other significant info about the places. But in fairness to him, he would provide as much info as he could when we had questions.
Day 4 and 5 were spent at the hotel, going for an energizing workout session at the well-appointed gym, and taking a relaxing treatment at the spa.
All in all, this was an unforgettable trip, with a few areas for improvement, but the good things far outweighed the bad. Shout out to Life, our van driver who picked us up and brought us back to the airport. Starting and ending with him gave us a nice overview of Kruger and an apt way to fill in the blanks for more info that we may had missed during our stay.

Mo Africa , the Safari king
Mo Africa’s tour guides are their ace in the hole. One stood out among the good guys. Lambs, a fun and funny guide entertained as he informed. His quips and unique descriptions made both the Kruger Park game drive and the wildlife really memorable.
Very good, informative tour.
Our your guide, Thomas, was knowledgeable and professional. We learned a lot about the history of Soweto. Highly recommend.

A bit of delay in responding after payment but Soweto tour itself was educational
If you are ever in Jonnesburg, a tour to Soweto learning about apartheid is a must, in my personal opinion. Our guide, Tinyiko, is passionate and so very well versed in the history of apartheid, its fall as well as the development of the township. Which is a huge plus, along with opportunities to interact with local residents. The reason why I am giving 4 stars is that there was some delay in responding to my questions from the office after I had made payment. Nonetheless I'd still recommend MoAfrika for the Soweto Tour
Great safari in Kruger with Eddie :) he knows so much about animal behaviour, made the safari so fun
Great safari in Kruger with Eddie :) he knows so much about animal behaviour especially lions, made the safari so fun. This time couldn’t catch couple of if 5 but fortunate enough to see others.
