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 !

Taking the hassle and stress of vacation travel away with a personalised, efficient service.
From the time we arrived in South Africa the quality of the service was evident. We were equipped with all the relevant information beforehand. Our drivers Jihan and Derek were not only expert drivers but knowledgeable about current and historical events which they shared liberally. They did not rush you so you felt truly relaxed while on vacation even when mother nature didn't cooperate.
The accomodations were spectacular, especially Olivers Lodge and the Ezulwini Game lodges. The game drives lived up to expectations as we saw the Big 5 (even the elusive leopard) and a whole lot more thanks again to our skilled trackers. Even the 'after sales' service was excellent. My wife inadvertently left an electronic item at the River lodge and arrangements were made to have the item shipped to us. Honesty, integrity and efficiency...can't ask for more on a vacation trip.

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.
Really good service, great prices, friendly-ontime-professional drivers. Well planned itineraries.
Our overall experience was just great. From first mail to drop off at airport was just smooth abd relaxing.

An experience we will never forget!
We were picked up at the airport by Neil who was very friendly and answered all our questions! It was a 2 hour drive from OR Tambo to our accommodation at Bakubung Bush Lodge. Our accommodation was lovely! The room was great and the food in the buffet was very good. We specially love the breakfast offerings. Our package included 4 game drives and we signed up for each one, not to miss a single opportunity to see animals in the Pilanesberg National Park! We rode with drivers, Zach and Clarence and had a wonderful time! I hope to be back with more family next time! Thank you to Maryke Gerber of BST Tours who assisted us in booking this trip!
