Great tour with our guide Léon
Here is the English translation:
A safari with our guide Léon, who was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. We saw many animals, and he did his best to find them. We got to see elephants and rhinoceroses up close. We could only see the lions from a distance, but as our guide told us, it's Mother Nature who decides which animals we get to see each day. The park is also very beautiful.

Heart of Africa Safari Tours is a fantastic choice for your safari tour!
We had a wonderful safari with Heart of Africa Safari Tours from June 21 through June 27, 2024. We toured Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Everything about this trip was fantastic. Our guide, Ephata, was great at spotting the animals and pointing them out to us. Rarely did we spot an animal or group of animals before him, and we saw tons of animals, including all of the “Big 5”. In the western Serengeti, the wildebeest herds were everywhere, gathering to continue their great migration to the north. All of the lodges that Heart of Africa arranged for us were outstanding as well. Everything about this trip was great. We highly recommend Heart of Africa Safari Tours.

Worthy experience
My best friend and I booked a Pilensberg day-trip via GetYourGuide 3 days before going, for 128€ per person.
Our pick up spot and time was at the @SandtonHotel at 6:00 AM. We didn’t stay at the hotel, so we had to choose it as a common pick up spot. We arrived at 5:56 and were told by the reception that the driver came at 5:45 and left a couple of minutes later. The reception had to contact the driver’s boss on our behalf so he could return to pick us up… We then enjoyed an eventless ride to a gas station after 1h for a break and finally to the reserve.
The morning “game” was good, it lasted close to 3 hours. We saw hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras but no cats.
Lunch was good, and part of the package. Beef burger + a soda, it was good and served in a nice spot on the reserve.
The afternoon “game” was more disappointing, as it only lasted 1h25min, and for a long while, animals were hidden. We ended up seeing the same animals as in the morning + a giraffe up close. Still no cats.
Although nobody can control animals’ behaviors, the afternoon game felt rushed. I wish it lasted longer to increase chances to see rarer animals and enjoy the nature.
Desmond was a great guide, really funny and knowledgeable, with whom we felt in good hands.

Tour operator
We had an incredible experience at Pilanesberg National Park, thanks to our tour operator, Desmond. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire tour fun and memorable. His passion for wildlife really came through, and we learned so much while enjoying every moment. Highly recommend asking for Desmond if you’re planning a visit!

Nick is the best guide ever because he created an amazing safari adapted to my interests & schedule
I first contacted Nick because I wanted to visit the Nairobi National Parc. He picked me up at the hotel at 6:30 in the morning. I had an amazing time. The communication was perfect and he was very reliable. He was very knowledgeable and always made sure that we had the perfect spot to see the animals and take breathtaking pictures. Then, I asked him to bring me to some other places to visit Nairobi and the service was always excellent.
When I told him that I would like to do a longer safari, he quickly told me different options (Amboseli, Masai Mara, etc) based on my needs, schedule and interests. He quickly presented different options for hotels and activities to meet my budget. After I made my choice, he organized everything for me (pick-up, transportation, food, hotel, etc). At the last minute, I asked him to visit a Masai mara village near Amboseli parc and he quickly adapted and brought me there with a smile. This safari was really tailored to me. We saw the most beautiful animals (all the big five!). Best experience of my life. At the end, Nick kindly brought me to the airport and made sure we were on time. He generously gave me a few surprises to bring back as souvenirs. What a nice touch! I strongly encourage you to contact Afrikan Accent Adventures and Nick's team for a personalized experience of a lifetime!

Knowledgeable and Professional service provider, On time all the time :)
We took Zambezi’s services visiting Victoria Falls, a day trip to Hwange National Park and a full day trip to Chobe.
Brighton is simply the best. He is very fluent in English and is knowledgeable about his country and the wildlife. His knowledge of world affairs backed by his finance background meant many an interesting and learning experiences about Zimbabwe. He was on time all the time. He is unfailingly polite and was a joy to travel with.
The cost of the tour was value for money in my opinion.
I’d recommend Brighton and his company for any tour you are considering in and around Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.
