Amazing encounter with Africa
Thanks to Andrew, we have had an amazing encounter with Africa in its full glory. Fantastic beasts, enormous surroundings, great skies and fantastic stories by Andrew. Together with my wife and daughter, we were personally guided around the vast Pilanesberg reserve. We have learnt so much about the amazing animals, watched lions preparing their stalking of zebras and wildebeests. So much to talk about. We are grateful for the braais that Andrew cooked for us, such a privilege. Of course the great temperature during this period of the year makes everything double so enjoyable, knowing that in Europe rains and snow are pestering our friends and colleagues. But most of all, we were so pleasantly surprised by so much South African hospitality. We have learnt so much about to address everyone with questions about the day, about feelings etc. Africa is such a great continent, we want to learn much more. Now we only have to catalogue our 2000+ photos. Andrew, thanks for the lesson how to make the best photos. Your photos are by far the best on our computer!

Perfect Safari
I had the moste amazing safari with Ryan from Pilanesberg Safaris & Tours. From the 24th of september I did a three day camping safari with Ryan at Pilanesberg. As there where no other guests he offered me a private safari for the same price. This was a very good offer, as he took care of everything and was the perfect guide!
The three days where just amazing. Ryan picked me up at my previous stay. He brought all the equipment for camping (two tents, matrasses, sleeping bags, table, chairs etc.) and he brought all the food. The camping at Manyane was nice. At night we made a braai and Ryan cooked eveything. Besides the really good steak and on the other day lamb chops he made potates, butternut pumpkin and spinach. The dinner was always delicious and I felt very at home!
The safaris have been really interesting and successful. Ryan is the perfect guide: he does not only know eveything about the mammals and knows where to find them, he also told me a lot about the geographics, the plants and the birds in Pilanesberg. He has a long experience at Pilanesberg. We were very successful finding the big five. Exept the leopard, which is always the hardest to spot, we saw everything: a lot of elefants, black and white rhinos, buffalos, lions (right next to the street), hippos, giraffs, zebras and I think all kind of antilops, springbocks and wildebeests that you can find in Pilanesberg. My expectations were more than fulfilled and I am really thankful for this amazing exerience! When I come back to South Africa the next time I will come back to Pilanesberg and book another safari with Ryan!
Great experience
The safari tour was amazing, lunch was very good and the guide was great!
