Excellent experience with Willy, we discovered the real story of Johannesburg and South Africa. We understand the reality of the South African society and the story before and after Mandela era. Also Willy has show us the true of Johannesburg, is a safe city, with some different neighborhood but safe and amazing place to discover.

I loved the experience. My nephew got engaged there. We arrived early and bought our tickets online. I would suggest that you do that. The pensioners aged 65 up need to buy their tickets at the booth and also show their ID. We enjoyed a cup of cappuccino at the restaurant while we waited for them to open the cable car. The staff were friendly and had a positive outlook. We kill time taking photos on the cable cars at the restaurant. Weather wise, we could not ask for a better day. At the top, we ordered pizzas and cold drinks. It is a bit pricy bit the experience was nice. They are also busy building an activity. Thinks it would be fun to try it out when it is done.

I thought all of the animals could roam freely, but basically they're all trained to do something, or behind fences. Tanzania's motto is "there are no fences" so the animals can go anywhere. Not so at this "sanctuary".

What a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the elephants. Beautiful, amazingly clean facility. The staff was wonderful and great picture takers!! A true highlight and memories for a lifetime. Our driver, Willie, was also a delight to talk to.

We saw water buffalo, hippos, zebras, impalas, giraffes, and got SO close to elephants, and more……..

The best part of my trip was the information and education about So. Africa we learned from our Mt. Zion Tours escorts... Willy Kalala and David Kalala. They were both very knowledgeable and made our visits to the various sights seamless. I would never consider recommending any other tour guides for the areas they serve. Our primary cities were Joburg, Pretoria and Capetown but we also hit so many other places...Soweto, Lesedi Cultural Village, Cape of Good Hope, Robbins Island, a safari park. Restaurants selected were ALL excellent...food and service. Incredible experience.

Mount Zion Tours, I can highly recommend them for any bucket list tour or safari that your heart desires. Mount Zion Tours assisted us recently with a large group from France and they exceeded all expectations. The guides provided were knowledgeable and well spoken. We will most definitely make use of their services in future. Mauritz and Brendon - BEAL Corporate Travel

This was such an awesome experience! From start to finish, we were totally enthralled and mentally wiped out by the end of the day. Our driver (Neo) showed up early and took us for about an hour’s drive. Neo filled us up with interesting information and great conversation. Upon our arrival we were handed over to our tour guide who continued to fill our heads with fascinating information and then we were off to the races. Watching a cheetah do their thing up close and personal was amazing, but watching two of them was twice as good! The animals are well cared for and appeared to be stress free. Pinnacle experiences were seeing the painted dogs and King Cheetah’s! After the tour Neo took us back to the hotel and our day ended. Cannot recommend this tour enough; all things you wanted to know about Cheetahs in South Africa will be acquired here!

Willy has been the most amazing guide for our group. Although we spent a week with Willy, it wasn't enough! The raw experiences are absolutely eye-opening and I couldn't thank him enough for that. I now have a high-bar of expectations for future endeavors and guides, but I truly want to thank Willy for his hard work, dedication, and knowledge he showed us on our one in a lifetime trip.

Sun City was beautiful and I am so glad I did the tour. However, the company I used was awful. 1. The departure time was said to be 30-60 minutes before 6:30 am. I never got a confirmation of the time. I left 4 voice mails and three emails on the Sunday I got into Johannesburg. Even if they don’t work on Sunday’s, they had weeks before to let me know a time. I got up at 4:30 to be ready for a 5:30 departure. At 6;19 am I got a message that they would pick me up at 6:30. They arrived at 7:00. 2. I had been waiting an hour and a half, I was thirsty. Bottled water was to be furnished in an air conditioned vehicle. There was no water, I asked if I could stop and get some. I paid for a bottle and thought I would be nice and got the driver one too. 3. We head out and I find out there is no air conditioning! 4. On the way back I am dying in the back seat and I have about a half bottle of water that is hot. The driver asked if he could stop and I said sure as I needed to stretch my legs. He goes in and buys water for himself, not even asking me if I wanted any. 5. He got lost on the way to my hotel and we drove for 30 minutes. I told him that was my hill behind us. He finally turned around and we started towards it. 6. He said he didn’t want to take his car up the steep hill, so I had to get out and WALK up the hill to my hotel. I was baked and thirsty, and I literally drug myself to my hotel. Mount Zion tours is terrible. They advertise one thing and did not deliver!

Get to learn about the origin of our planet earth. Need to first organize a tour guide since they make the tour to be informative and entertaining. The setting is fit for the purpose of hosting the origins of our ancestors dating back to about two million years ago. While at it don’t forget to take the underground boat ride , which depicts the origin of earth.

I booked through Mount Zion Tours and didn't realize until our professional guide showed up at the house were staying in that it was a personal tour, just me and my wife! Fortunately our guide was very informative and helpful and after getting us there and getting the tickets he said we could do the visit on our own and at our own pace and he'd just wait for us! So we met up with him again in the cafe after a few hours of self-guiding around the exhibits, which suited us just fine. So although it was rather expensive it worked out well for us. But if you want to save some money, just get there by Uber, buy your own admission tickets, and take yourself around--it is all well labelled and explained. It is defintiely a valuable thing to fo when visiting Johannesburg.

My sister and I did the Pretoria City Day Tour with Mount Zion Tours and Travel. We booked this tour via email. Pretty was very prompt in replying to our questions and Mount Zion Tours were very accommodating, picking us up from our hotel in Pretoria and dropping us at our next hotel in Johannesburg after the tour. We were so glad to have Gabriel as our guide. He was very friendly, organised, and knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about the history of South Africa. Particularly, we enjoyed the Voortrekker Monument and learning about the Voortrekkers, the Kruger House, and the Union Buildings where Gabriel helped us take some great photos. We felt very safe with Gabriel. We would recommend using Mount Zion Tours! Thank you Gabriel for an awesome day! Jess and Jacqui (Australia).

Gabriel our tour guide was very knowlagible, friendly and accommodating. The tour is extreamly interesting and highly recommended.

The Pilanesburg offers everything you will see in the more 'well known' national parks and is only two hours from Johies and Pretoria. Wonderful game, including the big five, and great amenities within the park.
