Very friendly and well organized.
The trip was peaceful and enjoyable. The mountain views were beautiful, and it was a nice escape from the busy city.

Considerate and Knowledgeable
An excellent experience out in the bush with Benson. We got very lucky and ended up seeing two leopards in our 7 day safari. Having Naivasha and Nukuru sandwiched between the Mara and Amboseli made the trip pacing diverse enough that each new animal encounter felt exciting and fresh. Our driver Benson was very calm on the roads and did a great job taking our inevitable car breakdowns in stride and did everything he could to make up for any loss of time (these vehicles get absolutely pummeled on these roads).
Would take this tour again without question. Definitely spring for the mid-tier package, the quality of the uograded lodges is spectacular.

Reliable, good organized and very helpful.
We had an amazing experience with Lea and James. The super efficient organization, the knowledge of the animals, the lovely guides who gave us a good time we felt like it couldn‘t have been better. We always felt safe and didn‘t have to think about anything. We were just able to enjoy this wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

The Tour was excellent
Our group of five had an amazing trip to Pilanesberg National Park, which we booked through Nhlalala Travel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences we’ve had together.
The day started early with our pick-up in Pretoria central on time and everything was well organised.
The driver was friendly and made us feel comfortable right away.
We had enough restrooms stops
During the drive and shops ,we were all excited, talking about what animals we hoped to see.
Even the journey there felt enjoyable because the atmosphere in the vehicle was relaxed and fun.
When we arrived at Pilanesberg, the scenery immediately stood out. The park is so beautiful, with mountains, open plains, and lots of greenery. As soon as the game drive started, we were all quiet and focused, looking out for animals. It didn’t take long before we spotted our first animals, and that’s when the excitement really kicked in.
We saw elephants walking slowly across the road, and at one point they came quite close to the vehicle, which was both exciting and a little scary. We also saw zebras, giraffes, and different types of antelope. One of the best moments was watching a group of giraffes standing together in the distance—it felt like something out of a movie.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the animals and their behaviour. He also made sure everyone in our group had a chance to see and take pictures, which made the experience feel personal. Being just five of us made it even better because it wasn’t crowded, and we could enjoy every moment.
It was quite hot during the day, but we stayed hydrated and didn’t let it ruin the experience. In fact, the weather made it feel like a real African safari. We shared laughs, took lots of pictures, and created memories that we will always remember.
Overall, Nhlalala Travel provided excellent service from start to finish. The trip was well planned, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a genuine and exciting safari experience.
