Best Tour Guides in Johannesburg - We did the Lion and Rhino Park tour, and Daniel Clements was our driver. We had a wonderful time, and Daniel was a great driver! Transportation was clean, safe, and efficient. They had a place where you could charge your phone if you had a usb-c, which was nice. 10/10 experience! We didn't feel rushed when we stopped for lunch. He also gave us fun facts while driving to our destination, and we were able to see Nelson Mandela's home. Highly recommend using them for large groups.

Great up close views - Literally couldn't have gotten any closer to the lions (on several occasions) and rhinos (the guide had to move the truck when one got a bit too close. We saw three cheetah, spring box, antelope, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, ostrich , and so much more. Great facility and good food options at the restaurant. Well worth the short drive from Johannesburg, but note, this isn't an actual safari but rather a curated drive through several separate, gated compounds that the predators from each other. The predators are fed so they don't have to hunt for themselves and the other animals get hay supplements that ensure they bunch together for easy viewing.

Amazing experience beyond my imagination of what it would be like. - Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He knew where to find all the animals we wanted to see. I learned new things from him that I had not known before. It really was an amazing experience and one that I will treasure and recommend to others.

Nice mini-safari experience - Included a pickup from my Sandton hotel. I expected a group, but it turned out that I was the only customer at that starting time, so I was taken there with a private quide in a passenger car. Guide/driver MK was friendly and knowledgeable. During game drive I saw many instances of lions and ostrichs at a very close proximity for long periods of time, at least zebras, springbocks, wildebeests, impalas, wild dogs, and wild pigs at a close proximity, and a buffalo, an eland, and rhinos from longer distance. There was also a small zoo with leopards and the other main big cats, reptiles, and pygmy hippos, and we spent about half an hour there. It was also possible to hold a big snake (not sure if it is always possible there). I recorded about short 50 video clips and took pictures.

Safari experience - We enjoyed seeing all the animals in their natural habitat. But the most memorable experience was seeing the lions and cheetah feeding time .

Great experience - Had a wonderful experience here this past weekend. Our guide, Clement, was great and very friendly, felt like he was having just as much fun as we were. Would definitely recommend him for those going on future tours.

Very nice person at pick... - What a rip-off this was. Very nice person at pick up spot, and on time. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the location of our safari, the reserve was closed for some obscure reason. Our driver called his boss, and we proposed another "safari" 15 minutes away. This place was a total scam. Animals in enclosure sleeping. It was more sad for the animals than anything else. One-hour tour instead of three. No food or drink was proposed, although it was in our reservation. WHAT A RIP OFF

Never book with Virgio Tours!!! - This company Virgio Tours are con artist who tried to switch the tour from guided on a Rhino and Lion Park vehicle to self-guided because their driver did not arrive on time to make it to the guided tour. The company then lied to Viator to prevent us from receiving our full refund. I would never recommend this company for a tour. Spend your money elsewhere these folks are con artists and liars.
