A beautifully planned and coordinated itinerary for South Africa, Victoria Falls and Botswana
From start to finish the tour package put together by Patrick was great. We tried to see and experience as many different sites as possible in a short amount of time but Patrick coordinated it all into a pleasurable experience and a fun time for all. We had to go through Johannesburg during our travels and on each occasion and Patrick met us at the airport to assist and check in on us. Charles, the guide in Cape Town and Patrick, in Johannesburg and Pretoria made the trip a memorable vacation, where we all enjoyed ourselves. Their friendly and informative way of showing us the city sights and being accommodating to our needs is definitely worth mentioning. The hotel accommodations were good except for the hotel in Kruger Park, which exceeded expectations and definitely added to the overall satisfaction of our trip. The safari in Kruger with the local guides were helpful and informative. Due to the time of year we were there, we were able to see the natural wildlife but not in the quantities one might expect. But in any case we saw a leopard, lion, white and black rhinos, and the rest of the big five. We also visited Victoria Falls and Chobe Park in Botswana, both places were pleasant and again accommodating to our special needs. We were traveling with two eighty-year young people who required a bit of help. Overall I would highly recommend Mimlo Tours for your travel requirements in southern Africa, for there friendly service and coordinating a wonderful trip.

Outstanding!
This was the first safari for me and my friends and Mmilo and our guide, Willem, did not disappoint. Service was for our sunrise safari was professional-- it was seamless and prompt. As for the safari experience itself, Willem was extremely knowledgeable about the park, its animals and the vegetation. We are a curious group, and he was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly. Willem is patient; he would slow down or back up to ensure that we got a chance to thoroughly observe the animals, and was very respectful of the animals. On the other hand,we witnessed guides from other companies speeding through the experience in an effort to catch the next animal. We were able to see three of the Big 5 during our one-day experience. And lunch at Bakubung Lodge was wonderful. Willem also took pictures throughout our day, which he shared with us. The lodge is beautiful, and modern yet cozy. The scenery, service, food and drinks were great. My only regret is that we didn't have time for a multi-day safari. I'll definitely be backand will plan accordingly!

Great Pilanesberg experience
We decided at very short notice to spend the day before our flight out at Pilanesberg reserve. It turned out to be a great decision - made possible by a great tour operator, Mmilo! Willem was a great and very knowledgable guide and we had a great time with him. Everything went smoothly from pickup at the hotel to drop-off at the airport, a great experience in the reserve seeing and being pointed out lots of different animals, a yummie lunch at a lodge - and a nice goodie on top: being sent a link to view the pictures Willem took on that day with his professional equipment.
Definitely recommended!

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!

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.

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!

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 .
