ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES! We enjoyed the unique Open Jeep experience, which is a premium option as most groups are in enclosed vehicles. The jeep driver was super knowledgeable about the park and in tune with the key locations. We saw giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, a cheetah, and tons of elephants! Thank you for a great experience. See you next time, Sully!

This was the highlight of our trip to Johannesburg. Phillipians4four is a professionally managed tour company with excellent customer service provided by its owner Mr. Solly.
We were very lucky to have Mr. Solly the owner of the company pick us up and drive us to the Pilanesberg National park . He is a very kind and helpful and a friendly person. His Safari Tour Partner Kgabo Safaris conducted the safari in a very informative and professional manner. The Safari Ranger of Kgabo Safaris Mr. Benny was very friendly and full of information and very eager to do full justice to both the safaris, one pre lunch and another post lunch. The restaurant in the park that served lunch (included in the tour) was very clean, hygienic and provided excellent service with very tasty and filling food with both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. The restaurant is at picturesque location by a waterhole and we got to see zebras, kudus, Impalas, giraffe and birds at the waterhole as we enjoyed the lunch.
The safari was very rewarding as we got to see the elusive cheetah and her two cubs from very close proximity and many other animals like the elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, wilderbeest, warthog, kudus, Impalas, spring bok and some rare birds,
The vehicle of the open jeep safari was huge and in the best of condition, with comfortable seating and clear viewing for all and charging point for mobiles.
Excellent and a memorable trip that made us so happy. We recommend Phillipians4four Tour operators strongly. Thank you so much Mr. Solly

On time pick up, and well oiled operation. Saw all but the buffalo. A young leopard walked with us for a 100m down the road. Herd of elephants joined and one gave a false charge to within 3 feet. A cross between exciting and nerve racking. Driver was very good explaining the charge was unusual. Great day out and the sore rear end was worth it.

We didn’t see the Big 5 but they’re animals and they don’t clock in on queue. What I did see was an epic elephant March that even our driver was stunned by. It was something out of the movies. We saw impalas, zebras, rhinos, hippos and wildebeest and giraffes. Lunch was decent enough… had a great time.

Wir hatten einen überaus freundlichen und kompeten Fahrer von Joburg bis nach Pilanesberg. Sein Name ist Nathi. Er fuhr sehr sicher im trubeligen Verkehr und hat uns nett und informativ unterhalten. Perfekt!!! Die Fahrt selbst im Pilanesberg war sehr schön. Der Guide konnte viel berichten. Innerhalb von 90 min sahen wir Löwe, Nashorn, Leopard und Elefant. Das war Wahnsinn! Leider auch die Mitreisenden. Kein Respekt vor der Natur. Sehr laut obwohl sie mehrfach gebeten wurden leise zu sein. Hinter uns wurden gegrölt, gelacht und nicht eine Minute still verhalten. Das hat dieses wunderschöne Erlebnis etwas geschmälert. Wir waren zu zwanzig Leuten in einem offenen Safari Bus.

Superbe journée avec un guide passionné qui connaissait tout des animeaux du parc. La balade en Jeep est un plus qui ajoute à la magie du moment et nous fait sentir plus proche des animaux. Nous avons appercu 3 animaux du “Big Five” mais nous avons été privilégié par la visite du léopard juste en avant de la jeep et du rhino noire en plus des nombreux éléphants sans compter tous les autres.

Nati picked me up right on time. Very smooth drive to the safari park He was very nice and explained things on the way. At the park met Niki our safari guide. Joined another 5 people in safari truck. Niki was great very good english, knowledge, funny stories, saw elephants, rhinos, hippos, antelopes, baboons, zebras and giraffes etc No cats but Niki tried very hard and we saw lots of other animals from very close up. Lunch was fine. Journey home with Nati very good too. Well worth it

Really great experience. My guide, Nathi, was the best. Got to see a leopard kill a impala not long after we first entered the park. Also seen rhinos, hippos, crocodile, boars, impalas, kudus, other various small animals and close encounters of giraffes and elephants walking on the roads. Did not get to see lions. Trip is recommended.

Great one day safari tour which persuaded me to go for longer one in the future. During one day safari we saw 2 out of “Big 5” – we saw elephants, rhinos and leopard (or really gepard – cheetah). We saw also lions in the far and buffalos hided from us. As Pilanesberg is 2.5 hours from Johannesburg we drove by shuttle bus with Lorenz (driver / guide) to the park. Lorenz is good driver and told us some interesting facts about Johannesburg. But the best part was 6 hours safari in Pilanesberg National Park with driver / ranger Tumi. He was very experienced and therefore he was not afraid to go close to animals and we also learned from him about animals e.g. 1) Rhinos are white and black, white rhinos are larger and have different horns. They also differ by fact how they lead babies (white rhinos in front, black rhinos in back) 2) Elephants – female are in larger herd with babies, male are individuals 3) Impalas – there is one dominant male with about 40 females and the rest of the males are in smaller herd hoping to replace dominant male. It was wonderful experience to see especially elephants from about 2 meters distance. Unforgettable!

We were picked up by Nathi from our hotel and straightaway were made to feel comfortable for the long trip ahead. He was so friendly and even gave us lots of information and history about the surrounding areas we were driving through. We were then dropped off and headed into the jeep to meet Shumba. Shumba was very knowledgeable and funny and did his best to try and get us to see the big 5! We were lucky enough to see 3/5. Shumba was able to tell us a lot of information about all the animals and the funny facts too! It really was a great day and I would definitely recommend booking this tour.
