All Around Amazing - The perfect trip. Got picked up bright and early by Sabelo and he gave us great information about the region and South Africa. He was very kind and a great driver. Also, great taste in music! Fees included a lunch which we chose upon arrival in Pilanesberg. 6 hours with 2 game drives was perfect. We got to see so many animals ! George was a lovely guide with a great sense of humour. We got very lucky and it was just the two of us during the afternoon drive. Best for going with friend or even alone. Everyone was very friendly. Thank you P4F!

Life in the Wild - The driver, Sambelo, (spelling?) was highly professional and courteous. I’m a backseat driver and I am giving him an A+ on his driving skills. The safari tour itself was beyond expectation. My guide, named Peace, did his best to find animals for me. Giraffes, zebras, elephants, and leopards are my favorites. Saw lots of the first three but, alas, the leopards chose to rest in unfound spots. I chose this tour due to an extra day in Johannesburg before flying to Botswana. Observing animals in their natural habitat is such a blessing. If you want a quick peak of what a safari offers, I highly suggest this tour.

My first safari - I was visiting Johannesburg for a few days and thought it would be a great idea to do a day safari. At first, I was worried that one day wouldn’t be enough, but it turned out to be just the right amount of time to enjoy it. I had an early pick-up at 6:10 a.m. by a comfortable car. We had two stops for me to get some snacks and use the restroom, and after about two hours, we arrived at the park where I was seated in a special jeep you’d normally see on a safari. I was lucky to be the only passenger and basically got a private tour by Mister Thabo. We saw most of the big 5 and many other animals on our 6-hour drive through the park. There was a lunch break at the restaurant, and the food was great too. Then, we got back to the hotel safely, I spent the majority of the drive back sleeping. I highly recommend this tour

Amazing Safari from Start to Finish - The entire experience from beginning to end was a lot of fun. Sabelo, the driver from the tour company was very professional and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable right away and shared interesting information throughout the drive to and from Pilanesberg which really enhanced the overall experience. The safari itself exceeded my expectations. There were amazing wildlife sightings and never felt rushed at any point. The tour guide made sure everyone had the opportunity to see and photograph the animals, and he was always happy to answer questions. His passion and experience truly showed. I would definitely recommend booking through Philipians 4 Four.

Hakuna matata! Many animals and a far away lion - A very nice and pleasant trip.we saw a lot of animals, yet we didn’t see Leo and a buffalo since the former were hiding while the latter appears earlier in the year. I like it more rather than sanctuary per quality vs price. we had two drives - before and after lunch. The food was good. During the second drive, we were looking to see a lion. And we saw it, yet from a far distance. Anyway, it’s good to be a thought of the nature. Please do not expect that you will be allowed to touch animals, or get out of the car to come to them closely. Because animals are wild and still dangerous, and nobody wants to hurt neither people nor animals. Those people who say that it’s not worth seeds bad to go to the zoo - the zoo is nice yet this is a natural and transfer and the wild and all the atmosphere, I think it worths it. I strongly advise to wear suncream, to take the sunglasses and a hat which stays constantly on your head and is hard to be blown. Transfer from and to hotel was fantastic, the driver was extremely helpful pleasant. He told me a lot about the culture and history of South Africa, and I liked stories and explanations very much. Special thanks, Greffith ( from Ksenia)
