Great experience. We used Beacon Safari tour operator. Excellent arrangement.
Tour operator did the arrangements well. The guide was superb. We were to spot Big 9s. Leopard with a kill on tree top. The hotels were classic.

Indescribably beautiful
The country is beautiful, the people are friendly, approachable, open, funny and always in a good mood.
The safari with NganiSafari was an unforgettable experience for me. I hit the jackpot with my driver, David. He always knows where and how best to master what. He knows the places where the BIG 5 hang out and knows great corners.

Easy Way To Get Out Of The City And See The Big 5
I live in Johannesburg and was hosting family members from the United States. After several days taking in the sites in and around the city, we wanted to get out of town to see some wildlife. We booked an all-day game drive in Pilanesberg with transportation to and from our residence. This was my first time visiting Pilanesberg, and I was not sure what to expect. We saw almost all of the Big 5 -- lion, rhinoceros, elephant, and even a leopard! However, we did not see a Cape buffalo. Impressively, we did get to see some interaction between elephants and lions when the elephants chased the lions away from a shady area.
The game drive vehicle was one of the largest I've seen, sitting at least 20. That wasn't ideal, but we sat in the front so we could hear the very-knowledgeable driver and it didn't feel like we were crammed onto an amusement park safari ride. During the lunch break, giraffes and other wildlife (mostly birds) visited the restaurant located inside the reserve. The restaurant itself had a nice selection of food -- even given the fact we had the limited menu created specifically for the game drive guests. The establishment was totally full, so the service was a bit slow.
Norman Muchacheni with Nhlalala Travel Agency provided transportation to and from the reserve. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and sites we passed. He arrived promptly for pick up and provided refreshments for the ride. Plus, the van was very clean. It was overall a great day and game drive experience.

Magnificent!
Only until I set foot on this place I understand why people say you will be obsessed with it. It was truly an experience that you’ll remember for the lifetime. I really enjoyed seeing the lions and cheetahs as they are such beautiful creatures and of course as well as the others. The scenery is so so different from other places in the world as here you feel that what the planet should be. Hope all these beautiful animals can live forever without their territories being invaded and destroyed. Thank you Marurumi Safaris and our guide peter brought us this magnificent trip!!

Tour operator was first class
We had a wonderful experience with Primate Safaris. Our original itinerary did not really suit us when we got there so Andrew and Michael reworked the whole plan until we came up with a compromise that suited all of us. Both guys were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, cheerful and extremely accommodating to all our whims every single day of the tour. In fact, all four of us in our party agreed that they really made the tour for us. Primate Safaris admin too, was really on the ball when it came to communication. Regan never delayed with his responses to our inquiries in the initial stages of setting everything up. I would highly recommend Primate Safaris to anyone considering the Gorilla Trek in Uganda. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time of our eleven day tour.

Fantastic, knowledgeable. Curteous, helpful,charming and a complete gentleman.
Definitely the trip of a lifetime! I was fortunate enough to find George Killas, owner of Terrain Tanzania Safaris and after many discussions on WhatsApp i booked an 18 day semi private all inclusive trip to Kenya and Tanzania. It was considered a luxury tour and it definitely was. The hotels were modern and lovely 4 star as well as the lodges and amazing Tent cabins in the bush. In fact, i was able to get one of the best 1 hour massages ever in my tent. Food was included, 3 meals a day and was always good. George took care of all arrangements and then some. He was always available and helpful day and night. Our safari vehicles were very comfortable and one even had a refrigerator for cold drinks..a major plus in the bush.
Not only did we see the big 5 a number of times but lion families, baboon families, elephant families, cheetah brothers, and due to our eagle eyed driver, Juma, we found a leopard sleeping on a branch in a tree!!! Amazing how close we got to her. I could count the whiskers on her face! All of our drivers were amazing. Ours was a very long and expensive trip but worth every penny. Truly was able to enjoy every moment and experience. I highly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safari company and George Killas who can customize a fantastic safari experience to fit your schedule and budget. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. You can also experience a trip of a lifetime.

Communication and trust were above and beyond for Apodiformes Adventures.
Would highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures for your adventures. We booked a combo safari/beach trip with them for our first ever visit to Africa and Kenya. The value was very good, but more than anything communication and trust throughout the entire process was top notch. After every check in, flight, transfer etc they were quick to reach out via text or a phone call to make sure we were safe and happy! ,John, our guide/driver for the safari quickly became a trusted friend!
