About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Africanut4FR0 contributionsHighly recommendThe day was amazing. Wilhelm our driver/guide was wonderful, entertaining us along the way and helping to take great photos. I would recommend him. The elephant interaction was a lifetime memory. I think the elephants enjoyed it as much as we did. Highly recommend.Written October 11, 2024
- hilaryw7990 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experience to see beautiful creatures in their own habitat, simply stunning.We had a wonderful time at the park with our guide Willem, who was so knowledgeable with lots of stories about precious park visits. We were so fortunate to see almost every animal bar the allusive buffalo in their own habitat. My favourite was seeing the leopard up close and hearing her cubs calling. The visit was finished off with a fab lunch at the lodge (portions were huge). I’d definitely recommend this excursion especially with this guide, an absolute pleasure. Don’t hesitate to book. I’d do it all againWritten October 8, 2024
- Rakesh G0 contributionsMeticulously planned tour by MmiloContacted Patrick of Mmilo tours for Kruger safari ; as an add on, we also did Johannesburg 6 hour tour, 2 day panorama route and 3 days Cape Town tour through them. He also booked us an internal flight from Kruger to Cape Town which is very convenient and saves a lot of time . Their planning was meticulous and their guides, Willem at Jo-berg and Brenda, the charming lady at Cale town were great. A very pleasant experience overallWritten August 27, 2024
- ThxDennis0 contributionsTruly the trip of a lifetime!We are just back from an incredible 10 days in Southern Africa arranged by Patrick at Mmilo Tours, and I feel compelled to tell the world: "Go to Africa!" It's amazing! We have traveled quite a lot, but this trip was truly the best of all. We were blown away by our close encounters with an unbelievable array of wildlife (in the safety and comfort of our jeep, of course) and the determination of our guides to give us the best experience possible. We came home with so many great memories, stories and photographs. Suffice it to say, we had high expectations for the trip, and it exceeded them all! Full credit goes to Patrick and his fabulous team at Mmilo Tours. Starting with a warm welcome in the Johannesburg airport, we were met by experienced drivers and guides at every stop, our air travel in Africa was smooth as silk, and our accommodations were fantastic. The team at Mmilo Tours are pros. They will customize an unforgettable tour for you. (Just FYI, ours included three days at Kruger, three days at Victoria Falls, and three days at Chobe game lodge in Botswana.)Written August 15, 2024
- JoburgJim0 contributionsGreat Trip to PilanesbergWe had such a great experience on our trip to Pilanesberg organized by Mmilo Tours. We saw all the Big Five including two great encounters with Leopards. Every aspect was perfectly planned and carried out by Mmilo. Francois Rix ensured everything was well-taken care of.Written August 4, 2024
- toritoad40 contributionsSafe, friendly and knowledgeable guide- excellent safari for those tight on time!Amazing experience for those on a tight schedule. Sibu, my guide, was amazing. Safe transport and he was very knowledgeable and trained about the park and the animals. We saw many on the two game drives (split by a stop for a coffee) and ended with a nice lunch at one of the lodges. Excellent option if you are trying to sneak in a safari on a business (or personal) trip!Written May 3, 2024
- lirodriguez010 contributionsWonderful and unforgettable experience in Pretoria and Kruger National ParkI had one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Patrick from Mmilo Tours arranged an wonderful and unforgettable trip for me and my family to Pretoria and Kruger National Park. Patrick’s is a great professional and person, he arranged every detail of my trip (picking us at the airport, transportation to the hotel, tours to the best sanctuaries in Pretoria, he assigned us a very experienced and respectful guide for the 2 days in Pretoria, transportation back to the airport to go to Kruger) We had another transportation waiting for us at the Nelspruit Airport to go to the park. The Shishangeni Lodge was beautiful, we even enjoyed the pool in our free time. The safaris were great, we saw all the animals even lots of lions! Patrick is a great person and very professional. He offered me lots of options. He was also very patience with all my questions. The whole experience was better than I expected.Written April 16, 2024
- J9882XZjeffk0 contributionsGreat quick trip - easy pick up / private guideA great day trip for those on a tight schedule. We had one day to to see some of the exciting outdoors that South Africa has to offer and this trip did not disappoint. Our guide Willem was fantastic, even sharing some of his own photos with us after the trip. In 6 hours we saw 4 of the big 5 including dozens of elephants and over 20 white rhinos across the reserve. Fantastic trip! Highly recommend.Written February 24, 2024
- Daydream475655458670 contributionsExcellent tour & safarisThe wiews are amazing, we take a lot of photos, the gide EXCELENT and we see the Big Five the first day... Visit Johannesburg, the Panorama route and the Kruger National Park by the hand off Willem HeckroodtWritten February 20, 2024
- 140nidhis0 contributionsFantastic experience with AntonWe did the 3 day Kruger safari organized by Mmilo and it was an unbelievable experience. Our guide Anton had great communication from the start. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and made the drive to our lodge very enjoyable. Wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else. 10/10.Written January 30, 2024
- worldtravelheavy0 contributionsBest safari experienceAnton was a perfect guide and knew about culture, history, geography, flora, and fauna. Went out of his way to make our safari special. Look no further for your safari booking.Written January 28, 2024
- P9128EEjonathanr0 contributionsHighly Recommend! Ask for Anton.We had a wonderful trip and Anton, our guide, was excellent and welcoming. I recommend Mmilo Tours for its personal touch and flexibility. Anton went out of his way to ensure we had everything needed. He knew the park quite well and offered a personal touch to everything we did. Bakubung Lodge was also *wonderful.* Our biggest regret is not staying there longer! The food was really nice and the "proper braai" after our evening safari was a wonderful, authentic experience. We had a basic room, and it was roomy, spacious, and offered plenty of natural light. There was a full tub and shower, with plenty of hot water after a nice day in the park.Written July 9, 2023
- robbinsuggsw0 contributionsUNFORGETTABLE!A fantastic tour! We were searching for something special to do to celebrate my wife's birthday, so we booked the Elephant/Monkey Sanctuary Tour. And folks, we found it here! The experience was UNFORGETTABLE!! We not only got to view the elephants and monkeys. We got to interact with them by feeding them and walking with them. We were even allowed to touch the elephants. Priceless! Anton was our guide, and he was phenomenal! His knowledge and passion for Johannesburg and the surrounding areas heightened our experience beyond our expectations. He enlightened us with historical and cultural information and was happy to answer all of our questions. He even assisted us in finding great lunch venues and African markets. He also recommended other things to do/ see during the tour. Because Anton was such an excellent guide, we ended up booking the Johannesburg/Soweto tour to complete our stay: definitely, a must before you leave SA!Written June 13, 2023
- ashhev0 contributionsGreat way to catch a safari in a time crunch!Anton was great! He picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 AM and gave us some background about South Africa on the two hour drive to the park. He also planned a coffee stop which was needed!! He helped us spot animals and drove to locations after hearing the types of animals we really wanted to see. The three of us asked many questions but he was always happy to answer all questions! Definitely recommend this tour and using a private tour for an adventure like this!Written May 30, 2023
- andreabartoccini0 contributionsAmazing Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge and Panorama TourWe organized a 3 night Safari at the Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge and the Pamaroma route from Joburg to the Sabie with Mmilo, and it was such a fantastic tour! Anton was our guide during the Panorama Route, and he was great! He is very knowledgable, friendly, fun and informative, and we really spent a great day with him! The stop in Hazyview at the Elephant Whisper Sanctary was also amazing. In the Sabie Reserve, the bush lodge is just fantastic- great guides, amazing food, but most of all the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful wildlife with the right pace and tranquillity (we spent a full hour with a leopard chasing an impala, just an example). Highly recommended!Written May 2, 2023

Mmilo tours organized 2 wonderful tours for us (a 90-people tourist group) from the US. The tours were Cradle of Humankind and safari. Everything was well planned and I highly recommend this organization.
