The Original and Best Day Tours, Overnight Safaris and Private Transfers to the Pilanesberg National Park and Madikwe.
Experience the day tour of a lifetime with one of our expert guides. We offer privately guided safaris and day tours from Johannesburg and Pretoria to the Pilanesberg National Park. Transfers included we make the most of the day and have lunch inside the park.
Having been in operation running open safaris and day tours from Johannesburg since 2007, we know the park inside out.
Join one of our day trips now, its your chance to see the Big 5 and the small 5 all in one day!
We are a small, family run company, that specialises in all tours and safaris of Pilanesberg National Park. The proximity of this park to the hub of the Gauteng metropolis is rivalled in Africa only by the Nairobi Game Reserve in Kenya. The chance of seeing a truly wild habitat where animals such as elephants or even a shrew could be at every corner is one not to be missed!!
Our safari and tour guides are FGASA (Field Guide Association of South Africa) qualified and have a lifelong passion and experience in nature and conservation. They are very well versed in the needs and expectations of clients from any walk of life and they will strive to ensure your utmost enjoyment of your Pilanesberg tour. Any problems or queries that you have while on the tour; your guide should be your first point of reference. The aim is to enable you to relax as much as possible while on the tour and feel like one is on a stress free safari into the African Bush. Your guide will handle everything from dangerous elephants to boiling potatoes with professionalism and skill. However, it is expected that you will become part of the team while on tour and if necessary to help with washing, pitching of tents etc.
Our vehicles are all licensed to carry passengers and are strong and reliable and are serviced regularly. Our guides do have plenty of experience dealing with vehicle emergencies and should be able to handle any emergency. We try to keep groups small to create a memorable experience “far from the madding crowd”. Although for larger groups we can organise larger vehicles to suit.
