Great trip
Everything was great. I had challenges paying with my US credit card (because of my bank, not their system) and BST's office manager was incredibly helpful and supportive through the process. Everything else went quite smoothly - I was picked up on time at both ends of the journey and felt comfortable along the way, the lodge itself was gorgeous with friendly and attentive staff and good food, the game preserve was beautiful and not crowded with jeeps at each animal sighting. It was a great experience and I never felt at all nervous as a solo traveler.

Responsive, Helpful, Pleasant, THE BEST
Maryke, Gerrit, and Johan made this portion of our honeymoon totally seamless. Maryke responded very quickly to questions and was extremely proactive in sending our itinerary and travel details early. Gerrit and Johan are both extremely pleasant to travel with and knowledgable about Southern Africa and its wildlife. We felt so well looked after and can not recommend BST Tours and Mr. Shuttle more highly.

BST organised our Morokolo Lodge Safari tour
Exceptionally fast, clear and efficient communication. Everything was done via email and then super quick WhatsApp. Couldn’t have been better with our flight time known by BST. Our driver was there to meet us at the airport.
Safari was fantastic (3-days).

Great group to deal with
Although Covid-19 stopped us actually having our dream holiday, BST Tours were fantastic in helping us plan, change and organise our dream trip. Staff were helpful, responded quickly to emails and questions, thought of things we hadn’t and made the planning of our trip super easy. We can’t wait to re-book our trip with NST Tours.

Fantastic - no other words to describe this company!
As a family, we booked our trip 2 years before we travelled. As a result of covid it took us nearly 3 years to get to SA and I think Maryke and team must have booked 3 / 4 dates for us. We finally made it and it was amazing. They were so accommodating and helpful leading up to go and altering bookings. Then on arrival communication was so clear and easy, our driver to the lodge Gerrit was brilliant so friendly. The lodge and safari we did was great the whole experience has been a lifetime one for the family. I could only say if you are thinking of using but unsure do not hesitate they were brilliant.
Awesome
Everything was extremely well organised, from the pick up at OT airport, transfer to Hoyo Hoyo the lodge and game drives , food was amazing.
Johan our driver was brillant !

Excellent!
We were lucky that the lodge that I originally inquired about was fully booked. Tanya at BST suggested Lush Private Reserve as an alternative and we are so glad she did. It was absolutely wonderful; beautiful, comfortable rooms. excellent, friendly service and lovely meals. We were fortunate to see all of the "big five" (even the elusive leopard) during our two day stay and learned a lot from Avi, our personable and very knowledgeable safari guide. One of the reasons we chose Lush is that they have a limit of 6 guests to a safari vehicle. There are no "middle seats" (unlike many other lodges that carry 9 passengers.) We had one game drive with 6 of us aboard. On the other three drives, there was a maximum of 4 guests.
Pilansberg is roughly three hours from Johannesburg but we did not mind the long drive. We spent it chatting with our terrific driver Gerrit, who had great stories to tell and was very accommodating. I would not hesitate to book with BST--they will take good care of you.

Excellent service
Booked a safari/lodge in Pilanesberg through BST tours. Good offer, clear communication, quick follow up and our transport to the lodge and back was done by Gerrit, who's a very friendly and interesting person you can easily talk with for hours. Loved it and would recommend!

Reliable efficient tour organiser
BST Tours booked me into two different game lodges, in Pilansberg and in Madikwe Game Reserves, and arranged pick up in Johannesburg, transfer between the two lodges, and return to Johannesburg. I have mobility restrictions, and they tailored my visit to my requirements. Tanya from BST was very careful to listen to what I needed and find solutions. When the Madikwe lodge later had to cancel my booking because of recent flooding, Tanya booked me into another property. I met several people at Pilansburg who had also had their Madikwe bookings cancelled because of the flooding, and none of them had been able to secure another booking, as I had. BST supplied me with a very comprehensive quote which included a full summary of what was and was not covered. Their quoted prices were very competitive with others I obtained. Payment of deposit and final payment was easy, using Yoco payment system. They answered all questions by email promptly. My driver, Johan, was always on time, and was a careful, skilled driver.
I can highly recommend BST Tours.
