The review below is the personal opinion of In Yah's shadow (Bezaleel) and not that of SafariBookings.
The staff was amazing
3/5

Try to support safaris and/or tour companies indigenous to the area.

I learned some of these safari parks removed families from their land, put a fence around the area and then transferred the animals into the "park;" it's like a big zoo on 1,000's of acres.

MOAfrika itself is fine. I would add additional wording to their marketing to clarify terms.

Like open vs closed vehicles.

Closed means a van, open could mean a safari vehicle caged in; cage removed or not.

One marketing material said "open vehicle," but they showed an "a vehicle with a partial cage around it and a vehicle completely caged in.

During my inquiry process, I kept asking for an" open vehicle," thinking uncaged was open but when I arrived for the tour, they had caged vehicles that I refused to enter.

After a 1 star review, Anthony, one of the co-owners, listened to my concern, and explained the difference between open and closed vehicles then helped me get a different tour the following day.

I also learned the term "big 5," has nothing to do with the size of the animals. It refers to groups of people who used to slaughter, kill and profit from these animals saying "these 5 animals are the hardest to kill."

Now, some of them profit from the ways I explained above: removed families front their land, put a fence and brought in animals...

Support tour companies indigenous to the area if who take care of the animals, customers, employees, and communities surrounding the parks.

Kind man
3/5

The advertising showed that during the tour, we should see the big five ( Lion, buffalo, giraffe, Rhino and leopard). Unfortunately, the visited site shows that it not possible to see lion and buffalo, and to some extent leopard.

Thank you for your review and for choosing our safari at Pilanesberg National Park. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience. Pilanesberg is a renowned Big 5 reserve, home to lions, buffalo, rhinos, leopards, and elephants, as advertised. While we regularly encounter all Big 5 species, sightings depend on the unpredictable nature of wildlife, as this is a natural reserve and not a controlled environment like a zoo. We strive to provide an authentic safari experience, and we hope you enjoyed other aspects of your tour, such as the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. We’d love to welcome you back for another chance to witness the full Big 5!
Best regards
Anthony
