    Very nice arrangement and excellent experience, we saw lots of wild animals. We have been taught a lot of knowledge about wild animals.

    We had an amazing experience with MoAfrica Tours. Our guide was genuinely passionate about showing us as many animals as possible. Thanks to his dedication, we were lucky enough to spot a leopard and rhinos. Special thanks to our transfer driver, who consistently checked in about stops and shared information about the locations along the way to the park.

    Very good trip - two elements which were both great, fast paced and effective and all key things seen. Great customer service and luxury vehicle.

    The tour really has chosen key historical elements of the South African history and transformational journey from apartheid to freedom that can be explored in the Johannesburg area and provided insights, context and greater understanding.

    The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and above all aware of the need to allow the stories, exhibits and experiences tell the stories alongside his input and perspectives.

    I would highly recommend this tour. Bring snacks and drinks as it is a long but worthwhile day.

    It was truly an incredible experience.

    The driver picked me up from the hotel and took me to the location where I boarded a “cage car.” The tour itself lasted about two hours, during which I had the opportunity to observe the animals in their natural habitat. Once the tour concluded, the driver was waiting for me at the designated drop-off point and took me back to the hotel.

    It was a fantastic experience, and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to see the animals in such an authentic setting.

    What a wonderful experience! I can’t say enough about the kind, helpful and fun staff, the comfortable lodging, the great food and most of all the great guides who showed us all the animals! I highly recommend! Lots of riding in bumpy jeeps- but worth every minute!

    We had a great time with Africa Moja Tours! The accommodation was impeccable. The guides were funny and very professional. Our safari guide helped us spot animals from far away. The experience wouldn't have been the same without him. Even on the drive back, Isaac the driver generously shared many stories of his life that helped me get a deeper insight into his country and culture. We had to get up very early for three days in a roll but in the end it was worth it. Thank you very much!

    Highly recommend! You will feel the true pulse of Johannesburg and Soweto (a city within the city). My tour was led by Pastor. He was very knowledgeable, personable, transparent and open to questions. Johannesburg has a very high unemployment rate due to economic inequalities. Bring some cash (Rand) with you as there will be multiple opportunities to support entrepreneurial locals who will add value to your experience.

    Enjoyed the tour with RedBus - included the Soweto tour which was informative. There were also opportunities to hop off in Soweto for photographs. My only bummer - was that I did a tour on a Tuesday and the Apartheid Museum was closed. So if you're keen to visit the museum - ensure you do this on any day except Monday/Tuesday.

    I took a 40 minute Uber ride to get over to Soweto to meet my One Day Africa guide and our awesome bike ride turned out to be a "private" tour--just the two of us. Looking back to my time in Johannesburg the bike ride and my visit to the Vilakazi Espresso shop nearby stand out as the most fun I had in Johannesburg. I recommend both!

    My wife and I arrived at Tremisana Lodge in latter October, 2024 for a 7 day safari experience. We were not disappointed! I cannot emphasize how outstanding the staff were! Tucked into the bush of Balule Game Reserve, visits from various large to small animals were quite common to the lodge and a thrill for the visiting guests. It amazed my wife and I at how everything was so well choreographed, from meals, arrivals and departures, bush drives, who's going where and when, etc. like a finely tuned watch. Momma "D" and her staff always served up outstanding food and the drivers, guides, and spotters were second to none. I won't mention any one particular individual other than my mention of Momma "D" because everybody was outstanding and I don't want to leave anybody out. However, we did have a favorite one or two. The guides went above and beyond to find animals during the bush drives and walks and their enthusiasm was very obvious. The facilities were a bit rustic, but quite comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. Viva Safaris has done a wonderful job overall with their lodges, scheduling, and communication from start to finish and I HIGHLY recommend them to anybody planning a safari getaway to the Kruger National Park, Balule Game Reserve area!
    Well done, Piero!
