Absolutely Fantastic-
We spent a wonderful day at Kruger Park with Stanley as our fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharing insightful information about all the animals we encountered, from a tortoise (who knew) to the wonderful elephants.
Stanley is professional, funny and friendly. He took time to allow us to take photos and just enjoy the experience, not moving on until we were ready, Stanley really went the extra mile, liaising with others in the park to make sure we were aware of other sitings! This meant we were lucky enough to see elephants, wildebeest, giraffes, lions, both male and female, a hippo, zebras, impalas, monkeys, warthogs, some beautiful birds and of course the hedgehog…
Knowledgeable
Stanley was super enthusiastic and seemed so dedicated to ensuring we saw the animals we wanted to see and have the best experience we could have. He knew so much about every animal and had a real eye for spotting. Overall the perfect safari experience.
Tour operator
We had an incredible experience at Pilanesberg National Park, thanks to our tour operator, Desmond. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire tour fun and memorable. His passion for wildlife really came through, and we learned so much while enjoying every moment. Highly recommend asking for Desmond if you’re planning a visit!

Worthy experience
My best friend and I booked a Pilensberg day-trip via GetYourGuide 3 days before going, for 128€ per person.
Our pick up spot and time was at the @SandtonHotel at 6:00 AM. We didn’t stay at the hotel, so we had to choose it as a common pick up spot. We arrived at 5:56 and were told by the reception that the driver came at 5:45 and left a couple of minutes later. The reception had to contact the driver’s boss on our behalf so he could return to pick us up… We then enjoyed an eventless ride to a gas station after 1h for a break and finally to the reserve.
The morning “game” was good, it lasted close to 3 hours. We saw hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras but no cats.
Lunch was good, and part of the package. Beef burger + a soda, it was good and served in a nice spot on the reserve.
The afternoon “game” was more disappointing, as it only lasted 1h25min, and for a long while, animals were hidden. We ended up seeing the same animals as in the morning + a giraffe up close. Still no cats.
Although nobody can control animals’ behaviors, the afternoon game felt rushed. I wish it lasted longer to increase chances to see rarer animals and enjoy the nature.
Desmond was a great guide, really funny and knowledgeable, with whom we felt in good hands.

Dear Jean,
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your Pilanesberg day-trip experience with us on Safaribookings.com.
We’re sorry for the confusion at pickup. While we collect from all hotels in Gauteng, GetYourGuide lists only select pickup points. Our driver arrived at @SandtonHotel at 5:45 AM and, not seeing you, proceeded with other Sandton pickups to stay on schedule. We regret any inconvenience this caused and appreciate the hotel’s help in ensuring you were picked up.
Regarding the game drives, our full-day Pilanesberg safari includes approximately 6 hours inside the park, with 4.5 to 5 hours of game viewing and a 1 to 1.5-hour lunch break. The morning drive typically lasts around 3.5 hours, while the afternoon drive is shorter, about 1.5 hours. This structure maximizes animal sightings, as mornings are cooler and animals are more active, whereas afternoons can be hotter, with animals often seeking shade. We’re sorry the afternoon felt rushed—we’ll ensure our guides clarify this difference upfront to set clear expectations.
We’re thrilled you enjoyed the morning drive, spotting hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras, and a giraffe up close, as well as the lunch at the reserve. While we can’t control animal behavior, we understand the hope to see rarer animals like cats.
It was wonderful to hear your kind words about Desmond’s humor and knowledge—thank you for highlighting his great work!
Thank you again for choosing us and for your support. We wish you the best on the rest of your travels and hope to welcome you and your friend back for another adventure.
Warm regards
Anthony
