Excellent
5/5

We chose to do the Sunrise Safari at Pilanesberg National Park with Mmilo tours - the organisation was seamless from start to finish. Our guide Willem was excellent - he was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure our day was as special as it should be. The park itself was beautiful. In our six hour safari we saw rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos and elephants - sadly no big cats, but it gives us a reason to go back. We finished up with a lovely long lunch at Bakubung Bush Lodge which is included in the Sunrise Safari package, before heading back to Johannesburg. Would highly recommend Mmilo tours to anyone looking for a great Safari experience.

Amazing experience with Mmilo Tours!
5/5

We are just returning from an excellent customized safari trip with Mmilo Tours and cannot recommend this company enough!

We initially contacted Mmilo during the early stages of our trip planning, thinking that we just wanted an airport transfer to Kruger that would take us along the Panorama Route. Patrick responded right away by phone with great suggestions to help us put a full itinerary together to maximize our time in South Africa. He continued to be very helpful and patient via email as we refined the details and asked many questions about logistics and Covid safety.

Our guide, Willem, was very knowledgeable about all of the areas we were traveling in as well as all of the wildlife we encountered on the journey. He was incredibly organized and punctual, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. He is also a great photographer! The vehicle we traveled in was very comfortable. Willem also planned and transported us to our Covid test at a reliable lab near Kruger so that we would be ready for the flight home.

The itinerary that Patrick put together for us was perfect. We did the company’s Panorama Route and Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center tours, followed by three days at Lukimbi Safari Lodge in Kruger. The sites, activities, and accommodation on the way to Lukimbi were top notch - we would not have changed anything about these first two days! Lukimbi itself was absolutely unreal. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, luxurious lodge with great opportunities for animal sightings. This was such a great suggestion from Patrick for our first trip to Kruger.

Thank you to Mmilo Tours for the perfect trip!

Best African tour experience in Kruger National Park and Panoramic Route!
5/5

Right from the beginning Patrick from Mmilo Tours gave us the best possible service in every aspect of our needs, enquiries and budget options, covering every single detail to make our trip an unforgettable experience. Their Lukumbi Lodge suggestion made our stay and safari experience incredible. Service from everyone involved was outstanding, from our very professional tour guide Norman, to all the staff at Lukumbi Lodge, including Ranger and Tracker in our Games early in the morning and at sunset, we spotted the "Big Five" and many more!. Before or after Kruger Park the Panoramic route tour is a must! Best time to visit South Africa, felt safe at all times, all covid-19 protocols followed. South African hospitality one of the best in the world!

Amazing experience!
5/5

We liked everything in our tour! Very polite, commucative and nice guide Willem who told us lots of interesting stories, information about country and people and showed us very beautiful places in South Africa along the way to our Safari in Kruger Park. All our 4 Safaris were also very good and impressive, we saw everyone from the Big 5 and lots of others animals, it was just amazing! We also liked our lodge - Pestana, the food was very good and the bed and room overall were very comfy. Swimming pool on the territory helped to relax during hot daylight.
Last but not least I want to thank Patrick -our manager from Mmilo Tours who answered all my qestions (I had lots of them) and helped me with any detail he could, he is very commucative and nice person. Thanks a lot!

Great Safari organisation and beyond
5/5

Patrick form Mimlo Tour was both extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to tailor the Safari to our specific requirements, adding a Blythe Canyon excursion and Garden Route Discovery on our way from Jo Burg to Kruger, as well as arrange our flights out to port Elizabeth when we left to pursue our trip on the Coast.
The teams he works with are professional , super pleasant and were absolutely tip top !
The Lodge itself ( Lukimbi ) was the perfect mix of luxury and adventure. Lovely hosts, Fabulous guide and tracker, great food and lovely wine cellar ( we were there before prohibition

A first class experience in every way
5/5

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.

My husband and I did the 1day Pilanesberg game reserve 6 hour sunrise tour....
OMG -amazing, definitely the highlight of our time in Johannesburg. Our tour guide Willem was superb, punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable.
We had our own private tour in a 4 wheel drive vehicle and a fantastic Lunch included.
Totally lived up to expectations and more!

Pilanesberg with Willem
5/5

Willem picked me up at my hotel in Johannesburg at 3am (yes, that was really early) to be first at the park entrance. Even though it was raining that morning we still saw a lot of animals. Willem was very knowledgable about them, including all of the smaller ones. His vehicle was great, and considering it is a 2.5h ride from Joburg to the park, comfort does make a difference.

I would highly recommend Willem as a tour guide to any of my friends. You will have a great experience.
