Excellent holidays, despite of a few timings issues
4/5

We had an amazing holiday. The hotel, the tour, the views all were incredible.
We had a few stressful moments where the timings were incorrect and the hotel tried to double charge us at the end of our stay, but luckily they got resolved quickly. We don't know of the issue was with the suppliers or the agent. Luckily we did not miss the flight or any of the rides. We had an excellent guide for safaris - Oupa, who made sure we were not waiting unnecessarily for an hour for the sunrise drives. (As per original bookings - we would have had to wake up unnecessarily and then wait for ages)
Overall, we had amazing holidays, and the issues got resolved very quickly.

Thank you Kat! Apologies for the timing issues. Just before your tour we do issue vouchers with the latest updated times and the online quotation is always updated with these too and visible on your mobile/pc. Confusion can arise when referring to older emails and not to the vouchers/online quotation where updates will have been affected. But maybe we should emphasize this point more to clients. At the end of the day we are available by email, text message,whats app, and phone 24/7 to query or reschedule anything and this is why we were able to quickly correct. We have investigated the payment issue and it was to do with the lodges booking system. We paid Pestana Lodge well before your arrival. We have discussed it with them and they have assured us it will not reoccur to our future clients.
Glad you enjoyed Pestana Lodge it is perfectly situated next to the Crocodile River with great views and yes Oupa is very reliable and knowledgeable safari driver!

Fantastic experience
5/5

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
5/5

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 !
5/5

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 .

Kruger in 5 days
5/5

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!

The trip of a lifetime!
5/5

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.)

Perfect 3-day trip to Pilanesberg
5/5

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.
