Excellency and reliability
For our first trip to South Africa, I looked for an animal sighting tour that would accommodate the needs of our family party, including myself, my 85 y/o mother, and an 18 y/o nephew. Our Choice could not have been better. Mmilo Tours offered us exactly what we were looking for, a private 2-day tour to Pillanersberg in a comfortable SUV just for us and definitely the most knowledgeable guide in the country, Mr. Willem Heckroodt. Apart from knowing the geography of South Africa in detail, which meant a lot to us since I am a professor in physical geography and my mum Emerita in the same field, Willem is a great conversationalist and a professional who anticipates and caters to all your needs. He excels in every aspect you would expect from a tourist Guide and made us feel at ease at all times, turning the trip into a unique learning experience and a relaxing and pleasurable one. I am incredibly grateful for his efforts to make the whole experience easy for my octagenarian mother, such as producing a plastic step stool to help her access the vehicle. Hence, I thoroughly recommend the services of Mmilo Tours without a hint of hesitation; they have always been helpful and proactive since our first contact. Their highly professional attitude has added to our satisfaction with the South African experience and made us wish to come back soon.

Very experienced tour guide who was completely focused on the well-being of the customer
Mmilo Tours was the only organizer who offered a tour to my satisfaction in the way I wanted to do it. Unfortuneatly I was very short on time and wanted to make the best of it. This customer centricity and flexibility by Mmilo Tours is outstanding. The booking and communications were fast and reliable, everything was arranged exactly as discribed before. My tour guide was very experienced and I had a great time.

Outstanding experience organized through Mmilo
Anton Joubert was a knowledgeable and engaging guide in my private one-day tour of Pilanesberg. I learned a great deal about local animal life. Anton took me to see hippos in several locations within the park, meeting my special request. He also provided excellent information on South African culture and history. I recommend him highly.

Fantastic experience
My mom and I just returned from our South African vacation. If there was one word to describe it, it was simply FANTASTIC. I made so many memories with my mom and that will stay forever with me. The way the entire trip was organized was exemplary. All of the tour guides were extremely kind and courteous. It was wonderful meeting Norman at Johannesburg. The Lukimbi safari was an experience we will never forget. Their ranger and tracker were wonderful and made sure we spotted the leopard on the last morning before we left so my mom could check off her "Big 5" list. Capetown simply blew me away. Having traveled a lot all over the world, I will say that it is now one of my most favorite cities. Brenda was a wonderful guide and made sure we saw everything and more even though the marathon on the weekend presented an unforeseen challenge. I will say that we will back with my entire family for sure as this is a trip that cannot be done only once. Kudos to Patrick and the entire team at Mmilo Tours!

Extraordinary, Beautiful, Wonderful Experience
Trustworthy, extraordinary assistance and guidance. The best trip by far of my lifetime and this was made possible by Norman (Organizer, Inbound Consultant) and Anton (our tour guide) from Mmilo Tours. We told Norman what we wanted to do and see and he designed a wonderful itinerary, sightseeing & safari. Truly amazing service. He designed, proposed a Panorama trip that was perfect. Our guide Anton, came and picked us up at the hotel, drove us everywhere, he was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable. We felt secured always and guided to see the best things. We can't wait to go back to South Africa. Highly recommended them. Lorraine

Meticulous planner !
Four of us decided to tour SA for safari as well as to cover other attractions. When I contacted Patrick of Mmilo tours for safari, I enquired about them handling other parts of tour as well.
Patrick arranged a 6 hour tour of Johannesburg, covered panorama route, got us 3 days safari ( including two private safaris and a walking safari), booked us on a internal flight from Kruger Mpumalanga airport to Cape Town and arranged a wonderful 3 day tour of Cape Town. Their meticulous planning ensured that there was absolutely no hitch in our schedule.
Willem Heckroodt, our tour guide for Jo-berg and Panorama route was a polished gentleman with vast knowledge and experience.
Brenda, the untiring, charming lady at Cape Town was so full of energy and enthusiasm. Was so passionate about showing the things around.
All our stays: Maslow hotel, Sandton, Jo-berg, Dar Amane at Graskop, Pestana Kruger lodge at Kruger and Cape Milner at Cape Town were excellent.
Overall a very pleasant and comfortable experience with Mmilo tours . Would love to engage with them again if I were to go to SA again .

Kruger in 5 days
We are very impressed with Mmilo and Norman in particular. He was extremely knowledgeable about the location, found us great lodges to stay at in spite of heavy demand in August. Norman is exceptionally responsive. For example, our flights got delayed and we had to change our plans significantly. I called him in his middle of the night from the Chicago airport. He was extremely understanding and adapted to the situation beautifully. When we landed, our immigration at Johannesburg was long; he waited patiently outside for a couple of hours. When we exited immigration, Norman was extremely friendly with a case of water; it was great to see a friendly person in a foreign land. Of course, his planning of the lodges for what we wanted was exceptional. I would also like to give a great review on Wilhem, our driver and guide from Johannesburg to Kruger. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Africa. And we were impressed that he runs a marathon in 3 hours 15 mins. Overall, I give these guys 10/10. Thanks, Norman!

The trip of a lifetime!
We are just back from an incredible 10 days in Southern Africa arranged by Mmilo Tours, and I feel compelled to tell the world: "Go to Africa!" It's amazing! We have traveled quite a lot, but this trip was truly the best of all. We were blown away by our close encounters with an unbelievable array of wildlife (in the safety and comfort of our jeep, of course) and the determination of our guides to give us the best experience possible. We came home with so many great memories, stories and photographs. Suffice it to say, we had high expectations for the trip, and it exceeded them all!
Credit goes to our fabulous tour company, Mmilo Tours. Starting with a warm welcome in the Johannesburg airport, we were met by experienced drivers and guides at every stop, our air travel in Africa was smooth as silk, and our accommodations were fantastic. The team at Mmilo Tours are pros. They will customize an unforgettable tour for you. (Just FYI, ours included three days at Kruger, three days at Victoria Falls, and three days at Chobe game lodge in Botswana.)

Perfect 3-day trip to Pilanesberg
Mmilo Tours planned and made all the arrangements for a 3-day stay at Pilanesberg for our group of eight. It included transportation from Johannesburg, lodging and 6 safaris. Everything worked perfectly and we had such a wonderful time. Francois Rix was our driver and guide and took care of us during our stay. He was wonderful. Patrick, the owner of Mmilo, was so helpful and knowledgeable as we made the arrangements for the trip. I highly recommend Mmilo Tours.
