Very focus on the costumers
Very funny and helpfull Lambs guy! The tour was good just missed a little bit more time in Blue canyon river.
Informative and jam packed.
Tshepo gave us a good history lesson while showing us around each site. My wife really enjoyed listening to the history of South Africa and really enjoyed visiting the landmarks on the tour. I would have liked to have spent more time at some places, but I understand that it's a fair bit to fit i to a half day tour.
Tshepo was an excellent guide.

Gustaf was a great guide!
Guataf was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. One of the people in the same car as us was quite demanding but Gustaf was very patient with him.
Was quite bummed that we didn’t get to see any of the big cats though.

Worthy experience
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

Nice and easy, with good planning
Very nice «package» where everything is planned for you. Very nice length, and perfect because you are never bored because the days are full of activities already planned for you.

Happy, good vibes. Gustavo is a great tour operator.
Great value for the money. The park is Beautiful and zinc.
One thing i would liked them to have, is binoculars for loanor rent, that would make the trip a bit better.

Energetic and nice
I felt that at times we spent a bit too long in areas where leopards or cheetahs were expected to be, especially when they were so far away that we couldn’t really see them without binoculars or a zoom lens. In those cases, it might be better to move on and focus on other animals, like giraffes, that are easier to observe and enjoy up close.
