A great way to spend an extra day in joburg

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an excellent day with our driver, the game drive was amazing, the stairs in the maropeng wonder cave nearly took me out!! Holy hell!! Then the museum was our last stop and it was wonderful, so glad we did this trip… highly recommend

Unforgettable

Published on Jul, 2024

Ok, so the Cradle of Human Kind was SO much more than I expected. What an amazing experience and a must do for anyone/everyone. Phillip was my guide/driver at the park and he knew everywhere to find the animals. The jaguar escaped us, but it was such an awesome day! Lions walked around the car and so did the rhinos. Definitely an amazing day with this crew.

Perfect day

Published on Oct, 2023

MK was our guide and he was great. We started with the Lions and Rhino and what a surprise with all the different animals including the very rare White Lions Then the Crafle of Human Kind Perfect!!

Fun and informative day with family

Published on Feb, 2023

Great day, unfortunately we were unable to view the caves as they were flooded due to heavy rain. But MK our tour guide was great and was very informative at the rhino/ lion park.

Great tours and the perfect guide

Published on Mar, 2022

What are great experience! Our guide MK was professional and fun from pick up at our apartment until drop off. He carefully selected the time for each location so that it wasn’t crowded. My advice would be to select Saturday (less traffic). He was attentive and gave really good information. He really went above and beyond when we left an item in the car and he drove out of his way to bring it to the airport. He even texted us to make sure we made it back to the US safely. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for MK and tell him that Billy, Val and Rhys sent you.
