Unforgettable Safari Experience
I recently joined a safari tour and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! Our tour guide, Yves Albert, was fantastic. His knowledge and passion for wildlife made the experience even more enjoyable.
We had the incredible opportunity to see all of the Big Five during this trip, which was a dream come true for any wildlife enthusiast. Yves was attentive to our needs and ensured we had the best views and experiences at each stop.
The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore various habitats and witness the animals in their natural environment. The landscapes were breathtaking, adding to the overall adventure.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in the wild. Thank you, Yves

A historically & environmentally conscious professional who provides authentic cultural experiences
We rented an apartment in a suburb of Pretoria, Lynnwood, not realizing how far away from the central city we were until we arrived. When we booked our trip, we thought we would have figure out how to get into the central part of Pretoria. To our surprise, our tour guide, Yves Albert Bompongo, arrived at our TotalStay apartment promptly at the time promised, and we did not have to venture into the city center. Before we started our tour, he gave us a thorough overview of what how our itinerary will be for the day. He was kind and considerate of my 75 year old traveling partner's limitations, and made adjustments to satisfy her needs, while allowing me to experience the tour to the fullest. As we drove from Lynnwood through Gauteng region, Albert described the history, current political realities, culture, and traditions, and we drove by different landscapes observing people, flora and fauna. I ventured into the Bothongo Wondercave in Kromdraai, which had stalactites and stalagmites. The preserve has chalets, logs cabins, 2 restaurants, 2 cafes, a shebeen, and a game viewing deck. We observed springbok, ostrich and wildebeest. At the Lesedi Cultural Village, we saw a movie about how African people migrated from Ethiopia to South Africa over time. We learned about the history, cultural and traditions of the Zulu, Pedi, Based, Xhosa and Ndebele as we wandered through the Cultural Village. The ultimate experience was the entertainment by the different ethnic groups, and the wonderful lunch that we had where we could sample different traditional foods. After the visiting the Village, we toured the Cradle of Humankind in Maropeng. We had such an incredible day with Albert, that we booked his for a tour the next day. The following day, he took us into Pretoria to see the Union Building, the official headquarters of the government of South Africa before we headed to the Lion & Safari Park. We saw lions, impalas, blue cranes, hyenas, cheetahs, African wild dogs, giraffe, etc. Since we did not have time to venture to Kruger National Park, this was an awesome way to see some of the wild life. This was an incredible value for the money we paid. Albert was attentive, professional, flexible, historically and politically astute, humorous, and well-known and respected every where we went. It was a pleasure to be traveling with him. We felt safe and well taken care of. Thank you!

Just perfect!
Booking and coordination with Diamant Tours was without any problems. I was picked up on time on the day of the excursion itself. The tour was great! The guide gave a lot of information about the individual stops. I felt very comfortable and came back with a lot of knowledge. I will definitely book more tours with Diamond Tours!
Very well organized! Very friendly and competent guide!

I highly recommend

Albert, the owner of Pure Diamond Tours, provided a professional, punctual, and enriching experience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Pure Diamond Tours, guided by Albert himself. From start to finish, Albert exemplified professionalism and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. He was incredibly responsive to my inquiries prior to the tour, promptly addressing all my questions and concerns.
On the day of the tour to Kruger National Park, Albert was punctual and arrived exactly on time for pick-up. Throughout the drive, he not only navigated skillfully but also enriched the journey with his extensive knowledge of South African culture and broader African heritage. His insights were both enlightening and engaging, providing a deeper understanding of the wildlife and natural beauty of Kruger.
Albert was instrumental to the overall experience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip while prioritizing our safety and comfort. I highly recommend Pure Diamond Tours, especially with Albert at the helm, for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching travel experience in South Africa, particularly to Kruger National Park. His dedication to his craft, genuine passion for sharing knowledge, and professionalism make him an exceptional guide.
