Perfect service…. Always felt safe!!!! - We have used Africa Moja Tours many times already. We have done several tours with them already and were always very satisfied. Their cars are clean, the drivers friendly and even when traveling alone I have always felt save! I have recommended them to many of my friends and will certainly use them again during my next trip to South Afruca.

Such an amazing experience!! - What a great experience! We were picked up from our hotel on time and the driver was very personable and gave us info along the drive. Our tour guide Benny was the best!! I have no idea how he spotted some of the animals but we all were so thankful for the experience he gave us. I would absolutely recommend this to people to do. I wish we had more time to do a multi day tour.

Best guide and best safari ever. - Julanda And bakgatla tours you rocked it and gave us an unrealistic expectation for future safaris. Of all the safaris I have done - this one was by far the best and had amazing action from lions elephants and leopards through to black and white rhino. I must find out when J is in again when I return.

A must visit tourist attraction. - Nature and animal lovers, this is a must visit tourist attraction. It might even unveil that adventurous attitude you did not think you have. This area adds to the beautiful landscape of South Africa. I will go again and again especial when I want to get away from City buzz.

Please pay attention to the tour time - The explanation said it was 9 hours, but it was actually scheduled for 12 hours (6 hours in the safari). It may be a good idea to check the time in advance. I told them that I had a flight and asked them to limit my stay in the safari to 3 hours. Both the agent and the tour guide responded quickly. There was a time change, but the driver came to pick me up at the specified time. The pick-up and drop-off locations were also flexible. We only stayed in the safari for 3 hours, but we were able to see animals such as elephants, giraffes, and zebras, so it was a satisfying tour.

Not as expected - From reading the description of this tour we expected a private tour. After we were picked up 30 minutes late we went to pick up another passenger. Upon arrival at Pilanesburg NP we were asked to get into a large approx 30 passenger safari truck, which was already almost full...only seats on the inside aisle. We told our driver "no way" so he called the office, & eventually put me on the phone with someone, who informed me it was only private from Johannesburg to the park, & then a shared game drive. In any event, we did not have a private transfer to the park. With the delay, the safari vehicle had already departed so we had to go in the next one and did get better seats. The drive itself was ok, the guide was good and knowledgeable. The park scenery itself was very nice. We did not see a great many animals, mostly zebras, giraffes, impalas, warthogs and a few elephants. The lunch that was included was sick and we mostly just ate the vegetables and rice. Overall, the content of the tour was "just ok", food terrible and the description of the tour mis-leading.

Horrible. Stay away - The tour wasn’t good. Wasn’t impressed at all the driver was very strange. First thing he says to me when I get in after he was late is do you live in China, I said no. Kept asking abit more about the topic. Not sure why it mattered. Made me feel abit uncomfortable. Going to pick up the next people he must’ve missed at least 7 turns turning a 15 minute drive into a 30 minute drive. After we picked them up on our way to the park. He drove like it was a mad dash to get to the park. Almost crashing in oncoming while trying to pass. We arrive and the other people I hear say, that was the worst drive ever. We go into the park for our safari drive which was really underwhelming. They race thru the park not allowing anyone to just look for animals that could be hidden. I didn’t know that this park they cut the horns off the rhinos. Had I known that I wouldn’t have gone. Our tour included lunch so it said but after we came back the driver said we’re going back to the city. We were all confused cause we thought the tour was supposed to be longer. We all said no were supposed to get lunch the tour isn’t supposed to end now. He has to call his boss or someone. They bring us to the restaurant which clearly they just added cause there was no other tour groups there despite seeing so many groups in the park. Didn’t enjoy this tour at all.
