Very nice 3 day trip
End of January I did a 3 day trip from Johannesburg to Pilanesberg. The staff was very nice especially T-Man as a Ranger, Alex as a Driver, Noxi as Host in the Camp and the food from the chef was very delicious. I would for sure do it again! Especially the morning and evening drives are a special experience!
There were several mix-ups regarding tent and iternary. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. That‘s why it was just 4 out of 5 stars.
Regarding animals I saw a broad variety. Unfortunately I did not spot big cats (no Lion, Leopard, Cheetah). But others spotted them during my stay in different game drives so it always comes down to luck :D

Loved the gorillas and the chimps!
We had a great time! The communication prior to the trip was good. It was a bucket list opportunity to do the gorilla trekking and chimp trekking. We also got to walk with giraffes and zebras in Uganda which was magical. Some things to be improved on- after the first day, we had such busy itineraries with a ton of driving, we got to the hotel at dark almost every night with little time to relax. So the itinerary could be reworked in that regard. And the food at the hotels in Rwanda were ok (they were better in Uganda) but the quality was much different than the previous safari we took in Kenya/Tanzania. However, for a short 6 day trip in Rwanda/uganda we got to see the animals we came to see which was amazing. Kelly was a good guide. We felt for the price it was a good value.
