The best and most professional tour operator in the world
This was our second time in less than 2 years working with Patrick and Mmlo Tours. They've spoiled us for any other operators! We live in the USA, and all it takes is an email to Patrick outlining interests, budget, timing, etc. and he returns a proposal with options and fantastic descriptions about everything he's recommending. Mmlo seems to have an uncanny ability to answer questions before you ask. Really thorough and clear. This most recent trip, we took Patrick up on his offer of a private guide for a safari. My friend and I enjoyed the company and expertise of Mmlo guide Norman Lok. We had the pleasure of being in Norman's care at the start of our safari trip - he took us from the airport to our safari lodge near Pilanesberg National Park, and then again on our 3rd day when he gave us a private, guided safari ride in the park, and got us to our next destination, Hartbeesport for the night. On our final day, Norman picked us up and took us to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre, and shared some lesser known attractions with us where we saw meerkats and shopped at a fantastic craft market. When you book with Mmlo, you must request time with Norman. He is a country-wide certified guide. We learned more about the animals and the South African culture from Norman than from any of the other guides. By far. He's a gentleman, he thinks ahead to what you might need - water, a seat, Internet, etc. We will be going back to South Africa and will only use Mmlo Tours for your adventures. Oh, and I should mention, we got the time wrong for one of our evening safari drives (completely our fault) and I emailed Patrick to see if he could help us figure it out. He called me immediately and was very helpful. And it was a Saturday late in the day. The customer service is impeccable.

great customized experience - reliable operator, kind staff and great value!
We had a wonderful time in Kruger National Park, thanks to Mmilo Tours, who helped to pick us up from another safari location and bring us to the Park - they have great accommodations, almost within walking distance to the Park, and great price. We really enjoyed their package and our compliments to Patrick Hanratty, the Managing Director, as well as our guide/driver - Willem Heckroodt. We travel quite a lot around the world, are pretty discerning about the quality and price of our travel experiences, and happily recommend this company to other travelers.

Great One-Day-Safari experience
We had Day-Safari as three of us. The safari car was ideal for 3 people. Unlike the group safari tour vehicles, SUV car was very comfortable and protective against cold while twilight. Sun-roof of the car was very useful. Our excellent guide Mr. Norman was informative all the time.
The restaurant we stopped by for lunch was great. I would highly recommend Mmilo Tours.

Incredible adventure by Mmilo Tours to Kruger National Park!!!
Myself and friends did the 2 day (1 Night) trip from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park and it was truly incredible! Our guide, Norman, was fantastic...not only was his knowledge and experience in Kruger great, his personality and easy going attitude made the trip awesome! Norman made our trip better than i could have expected. Jamie, who communicates with the customers to set up the trip, was incredible to deal with! Her communication is great and extremely timely, she made it so easy to set up the tour.
Mmilo tours does a wonderful job accommodating your desire for trips in what you want to do and see and our trip was a perfect example of that. Next trip to South Africa, I will absolutely be contacting Mmilo Tours again for another adventure! Thank you Mmilo

Superb experience every step of the way
Everything was spot on from adapting my original booking at the last minute to ensure my trip could go ahead to the wealth of information provided on the trip. The car was so comfortable, every little thing considered and provided such as chilled water throughout the day and regular comfort stops offered as needed. My guide was Norman, how lucky I was to meet him and learn so much about the wildlife, environment and rich history of S Africa.
I can’t recommend these guys enough, nothing was too much trouble and travelling solo I felt safe in the hands of these professionals all the way.

A first class experience in every way
Patrick, the owner and operator, was simply amazing. Excellent communication while trying to decide exactly what to do. He made great suggestions and answered all questions. He then picked us up from our hotel and took us up to our safari lodge. I can't think of a more well-rounded and knowledgeable person to guide us and drive us. Just a delightful person to be around and spend time with.
We will use Mmilo Tours again for any and all of our travel needs and are telling all of our friends to do the same.

Henri was the perfect guide and his knowledge of the park and the habits of the animals is of great value... would definitely do it over again with him and with Mmilo..

Very good organization and support on 4 Day Kruger Safari & Panorama Route
I was very happy with the program and support by Norman from Mmilo Tours. I got a lot of very detailed information and instructions upfront and everything was confirmed shortly before my trip. All mails got instant feedback and booking and payment process was easy and secure. All transfers, tours (Blyde Canyon) and safaris (Kruger sunrise and sunset game drive) were on time and an enjoyable experience. I liked it very much and was very happy with the service. I would always consult Mmilo Tours if I was taking another trip.
Just Pestana Lodge wasn't in the best shape. It seemed to me that the lodge has gotten old and renovations and maintenance are very necessary. They had a massive flood before I got there but stained furniture and service which did not pay attention has nothing to do with a flood. But that is not on Mmilo Tours.

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.
