He was a great and knowledgeable
The booking and the whole process was seemless. The whole experience was great and I would surely patronise again.

Excellent wildlife viewing - hotel facilities average.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Kruger game drives as well as the scenic tour of NE South Africa. Guides were knowledgeable and engaging. I do wish there was a little more time spent observing the myriad of birds in the park - I do understand that most visitors are on the tour to see the Big 5 as well as the numerous other wildlife in the park.
The hotel facilities were acceptable. My room was nice; however, nothing really was working, including lights, television, etc. I had to go to the main reception area to read. The staff was pleasant but did not follow through when I asked if the lamps or television could be fixed. The restaurant was okay but selection was limited and the hotel was not particularly close to any other options for meals.
The trip was easy to book and MoAfrica was very responsive to my questions.

Good safari experience but accommodation can be improved.
I took the 6 day 5 nights safari tour with MoAfrika tours.
The accommodation at the Tremisina lodge was decent. But the accommodation at Marc Treehouse lodge was found wanting. First, the walk to the treehouse was quite far. And it required us to drag our luggage a long distance through the stone/rock pavement. There were many ants on the pathway which inevitably crawled on your luggage. The accommodation itself was dimly lit and had many insects such as ants. I had to flick away many ants and other insects that were crawling on my bed, mattresses, pillows, blankets etc. Food served at Marc Treehouse was also of poorer quality compared to Tremisana lodge. The beef was not tender and hard to swallow. Finally, I was hoping to see more animals around the treehouse, like some monkey swinging outside my door, but alas there was none. Only some impalas...
As for the safari experience, it was exciting to see so many animals roaming freely around in the wild. Animals spotted include lions, elephants, giraffe, hippo, rhinos, leopard, buffalo, jackal, wild dogs, baboons, hyena and others. Given the fact that I stayed longer, I guess it is only natural that the number of animals sighted would correspondingly increase.
Guides were alright – neither remarkable nor unremarkable. I guess they were focused on driving and spotting animals so didn’t have much interaction with them. Couldn’t remember their names or anything interesting about them too. Some guides were more time-conscious and clock-watching whilst others were more liberal with the timings.
Also did the Moholoholo tour, learnt about animal poaching and conservation efforts. Saw some eagles and my favourite (white lions), and some other animals such as hyena, jaguar, cheetah etc. It felt like I was visiting the local zoo and less interesting compared to the safari drives.

Very committed and always available if there are any problems. Motivated team of tour guides!
We were a group of three and booked an overnight safari at short notice. MoAfrica was recommended to us by airline crews. Booking, transport and lodge were very well organized. Only the payment was a bit complicated and only possible via payfast. This payment method was new to me! Already upon arrival in Pilanesberg we could see many elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras and even cheetahs. The Ivory Tree Lodge is very luxurious and we were well looked after. On the second day, the program had to be shortened due to strikes by the park employees. We all agreed - next time we'll stay a little longer! Thank you MoAfrica for the beautiful safari!
Very sociable and talkative.
A good tour experience for someone goi g on a tour for the first time. I would recommend it.

Very good service for the safari organisation
The communication with the agent was very good and very useful. After I expressed my main interest for ensuite facilities he suggested DUMELA camp site. After this suggestion I didn't have to look further. Dumela is a camping option with ensuite facilities. In the tent there are two single beds and A/C. It is not really glamping but close to it. The beds were made after our first night, something that I wasn't expecting at all.
The evening safari at the Blue Canyon Reserve with Goodmen and Peace was great. We had the opportunity to see rhinos, lions, giraffes... The drive at Kruger National Park with Evance was fantastic. Evance told us some details about the animals but also about the flora.
At Dumela camp we had a problem with the cold water in the shower but it got fixed after we reported it. We didn't use the swimming pool. Both dinners around the fire place were nice and fantastic to have one complimentary glass of wine (the next ones are charge 20R each).
My partner and I did the panoramic route tje last day. It was nice but it felt a bit rushed. Getting down of the vehicle, walk, take few pictures and return to the van. Despite this I will suggest doing it the final day of the stay.
A point for improvement is the communication among all the employees. It happened that we were told a different time for being picked up and the driver was hurrying us up 30 minutes earlier. And a fellow Safari companion was forgotten in her accommodation and almost misses the evening safari. On the last day breakfast was served late so we needed to rush and we weren't provided with cutlery and as there was nobody around we didn't want to invest extra time in walking to the kitchen to request them.
But in general picture , my partner and I had a great time at Dumela camping and with the safaris and the panoramic route organised by MoAfrika.

The people!
Although they definitely need to improve organization and communication skills, I got everything I booked for and more!
I booked a 4 days/3 nights in a tented camp at the Sekekama lodge, which is really new (only 4 months). The camp is basic, but the tents are kept really clean, no mosquitoes inside, bed is comfy, sheets are immaculate, the food was hearty and abundant and a bonfire was done in the evening. All the staff was helpful and extremely kind.
I did a sunset drive on the first day (which was mind blowing) with fearless Peace and Mr Goodman, (Peace even ventured into the bushes to help us spot some white rhinos 😍), and two full days of safari, starting at 5.30am getting back around 6pm, one with Evance and one with Eddy, both very knowledgeable, they answered all our questions and tried hard to let us see all the big 5! In my humble opinion, having seen loads of waterfalls and other deeper canyons, I chose an extra day of safari instead of the Panorama day, as you basically spend most of the day in the van, getting out 5’ for a picture. I preferred an extra chance at spotting the big 5, it was incredible how close and how many there are!
Wifi wasn’t working and signal is pretty weak in that area!
In my pack there was adverted a swimming pool, which is actually in the adjacent camp, but you cannot reach it by yourself as it’s not safe to walk.

Very good experience with Lambs
We made a full day Kruger with Lambs this Monday. It was a really pleasant experience. We loved the sightings, with especially 7 lions and 2 cubs among them. We saw many animals: Lambs was a perfect guide.
However, I need to highlight some things that need improvement. I made some others full days in the Kruger Park and I prefered some parts of those. With MoAfrika, no blankets are provided if it is cold when you are on the highway.
No coffee is provided either, you need to buy it by yourself.
There are some sharp visible screws on the door next to the passengers. It is a little dangerous with the dips and bumps on the road.
So, I really love the guide and his skills but Mo Afrika has some work to do to offer a total comfy and safe game drive.
