Effortless, experienced, efficient and organized
Patrick (Mmilo tours) and Willem (our personal tour guide, driver, pilot, spotter and game ranger) were excellent.
Patrick made the trip such a memorable experience.
Effortless booking process.
Efficiently Organised tours and accommodation across the Panoramic route through Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
Willem never left our side, entertained and educated us all. Took care of my family and we always felt safe and well taken care of.
Worth the extra cost to let them plan and guide your trip. I normally plan and drive all our road trips, having them do it for me, allowed me time to spend with my family, stress free and hassle free.
Doing these trips are so much easier when you have an experienced guide and tour operator planning the trip and routes for you.

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.)

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!

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 .

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

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!

Beyond All Expectations
We had a somewhat customized tour, and it was absolutely fabulous. Because our time was limited with departing flights, Mmilo arranged a customized tour in a minibus where we joined an open top safari vehicle for three hours in the middle. It was phenomenal. We left our hotel at 3:30am and arrived at Pilanesberg by sunrise. In the minibus, our guide Sibusiso gave us a very personalized tour. He was highly educated and taught us about the animals patterns and behavior. By 9:30am we felt like we had seen almost everything (elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, lions, and many varieties of antelope). We switched to the open top vehicle at 9:30am and spent another three hours touring the reserve. These vehicle network over radios, so the drivers know where the activity and rare sightings are in the park. They got us VERY close to the wildlife. The open top tour was less educational but the photo opps from it were worth the trip. At the end of the open top trip we had a lunch and were driven comfortably back to the JNB airport by 3:30pm for our evening flights. This was a 5 Star experience!

Flash vacation in South Africa
We only had five full days to explore South Africa, and so we booked a tour with Williem for two of those days. I am so glad that we did, we were able to see so much, and the tour really made the country come alive for us. A lot of little things, like Williem bringing binocilars for us to use, and sending his proffesional-grade photos after the tour etc, totaled up to make the trip extra special. I would recomend this tour to anyone that can spend any amount of time in South Africa.

Great day tour with Willem
We spent a great day with Willem. He picked us up early morning at our hotel and took us to the Lion's park. Don't expect raging lions in the wilderness over there as they are looked after (so they spend most of their time sleeping) but playing with lion cubs and cheetahs de-fi-ni-te-ly make it worth it. We then went to visit a cave nearby, which has nothing more nothing less than other big caves you may have visited before. We also had lunch there. Perhaps taking a tour of Soweto would make the day more special. But anyhow Willem was very friendly, took good care of us and was talkative about SA in general, which is another great way to learn about the country. He was flexible and patient, thank you! Definitely recommend him and Mmilo tours!
