Transfer from lodge to airport was smooth
Thomas picked us up on time and brought us on time to the airport. The transfer from the lodge to the airport was smooth thanks to Thomas.

Tiyane was personable and knowledgeable.
Our driver earlier in the week, Percy, was off, but we were sent Tiyane to drive us from our hotel in Hazyview to our Johannesburg hotel. My husband is talkative and Tiyane answered questions about his experiences, his knowledge, his interests, while asking David his opinions about things. We discussed books and movies. He was patient when we spent more time than expected at the stop...there were animals for one last glimpse.
He shared our munchies with us (we offered and it is rude to say, "no").
While we've had a few hair-raising experiences with drivers (not from SarfariLink), we felt safe with Tiyane. He even checked on us when the road got rocky or there were lots of turns. He's kind and we were glad to meet him.

Percy was very personable. He dealt with an unplanned detour with grace.
We hired SafariLink for transportation from our hotel in Johannesburg to Kruger National Park. It cost more than meeting our driver at the airport, but we felt it was worth it. Our driver, Percy was helpful and informative. He handled our multitude of bags without batting an eye! He didn't mind my talkative husband and answered his questions completely and honestly. He was also interested in where we live, why we were visiting, and how we had found South Africa so far (We had spent a week in Cape Town and a few days in Johannesburg). He really followed our lead...if David was talkative, so was Percy; if David took a break from talking to take pictures of scenery, Percy was quiet.
We loved explanations about what was happening along the route, even on the detour (there was an accident with the road not opening any time soon). As we made the U-turn to get to the detour, Percy notified other drivers along the long line of vehicles that were behind us. We thought it was great that he considered the other drivers when he was feeling a little stressed about the delay in our arrival.
We liked the stop he made for a break...it was like we were starting our safari early with zebras, wildebeests, ostriches, elands, African buffalo, and more, including the only rhinos we saw on our trip (it turned out).
Some of the roads were rough, but that wasn't Percy's fault. We always felt safe with him. We are glad Percy was our driver.

Timely and explains the stops well, also he's named Thomas
The drive itself is as smooth as the road permits it to be, when and where we stop (and the restroom locations) are communicated well. We arrived on time. Again, the driver is named Thomas

Very good - would recommend
We transferred from Jo’burg to Madikwe for Safari and back again.
Joseph met us at the airport and was waiting for us - he was very polite and professional. The transfer vehicle was very clean and plenty of room for 5 people plus luggage.
We stopped at safe locations for a break.
