Our overnight camping safari was fantastic! We spent so much time in the park and saw amazing animals and sites. Shade catered the trip to exactly what we wanted to do and was a pleasure to spend the trip with. Our camp tine was great too with delicious homemade food and comfortable sleeping. We would highly recommend this experience to everyone!

Darren's input made the difference for a group of 4 enthustiastic hikers that took on Mafadi, Drakensberg during December 2020. Even although the group didn't go with Darren, he made sure our team was well equipped with route plans, conditioning and training plans, etc. Darren's love for the mountains is contagious and he was really a great sport sharing from his experiences and in entertaining all our questions and sharing his expert advise. The input Darren gave us on meal plans, gear plans, travel plans was highly appreciated. The trip would not have been a success without Darren. Unfortunately, I had to pull out of the trip on the morning we were set to head to the berg, but hearing first hand from the experience of my friends, if you are going to the berg , tackling any sizeable peak or range you don't want to tackle it without Darren, or at least first calling him!

Part fun. Part culture. Part great food. Part outstanding service. Really enjoyed this tour of the lesedi cultural village followed by the lion park. Lions where so cute. Never knew how big they got. My highlight besides the traditional lunch was the drumming and dancing with the warriors. I made a fool of myself but so worth it. The guides and service from the team was just fantastic. Will book again next year with them for our cape town conference

Every country in the world displays some diversity, but South Africa, stretching from the lions in the Kruger National Park to the iconic Table Mountain in the Cape, takes some beating. Enjoy the Country’s sweeping valleys of the Winelands, Cape Town’s jumping nightlife, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers or KwaZulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park which alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins - there is something here for any person with any interest of any age. Although the country has its fair share of problems, South Africans are some of the most upbeat, welcoming and humorous folk you’ll encounter anywhere, from farmers in the rural north who tell you to drive safely on those dirt roads, to Khayelitsha kids who wish you molo (‘good morning’ in Xhosa).

I have to first admit my ignorance to the majesty of South Africa and all it has to offer. The Real South Africa....made sure I left educated, from everything from the countries history to their modern day marvels. Spending the day on safari seeing animals large and small, shopping at Sandton Mall, eating Dinner in the Sky to just relaxing poolside after a massage! Something as simple as the sunrise will take your breath away! Kudos to SA and all it’s people for for uniting as one and turning their country around after the apartheid. Not only did the Real South Africa make my trip spectacular beyond what I could have imagined they made it so carefree and easy for me, literally taking care of all the details, coordination....all I had to do was be ready! I look forward to my next visit! Until then....

Dear Chris, What an amazing experience! I could not have asked for a better guide/companion for my visit to Pilanesberg. I am so grateful to have had 3 relaxing days to enjoy everything that the Park has to offer. Some might consider you saved "the best" for last (the roaring lioness and the elusive leopard) but I loved every moment on days one and two that led up to those exciting sightings on our final day. You showed me that there is so much more to a safari than "The Big Five." I made a tally as best I could of all that you shared with me: at least 24 different birds (probably many more!!) 20+ animal species; vegetation that feeds the animals, grooms the animals, protects and cures ills. What I didn't expect was the peacefulness of this experience. You shared a very special place with me that felt all the more meaningful knowing how much it means to you and how connected you are to the place. Thank you for being so generous, taking on a solo traveler and sharing your excitement, expertise, amazing knowledge and all your wonderful stories of Pilanesberg. I hope I will be back again soon! Thanks again! Beth C from Maine, USA

Join our passionate field guide rangers on this authentic South African Style Safari to the Pilanesberg National Park. Situated only 2 hours from Johannesburg, this 12 hour tour is the perfect option for nature lovers. The Pilanesberg is teeming with wildlife including elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, zebra, giraffe and antelope. The tour includes the hotel pick up by our safari clad guide who will accompany you for the duration of the tour. We spend nearly 5 hours in the reserve observing and learning about the wildlife we encounter. The tour is fully inclusive. So no hidden costs and basically everything is included. (except the bribe to feed your spouse to the lions). We also like to keep our safaris pretty chilled out and would rather give the more personal experience instead of piling you kicking and screaming into a 30 seater bus with smelly, ill-mannered tourists.

Inclusions: National Park fees, Bottled water, Lunch, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, 5 hours wildlife viewing experience

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Drinks, Gratuities
