We did the 2 Day Bakubung Lodge Safari and it was one of the best experiences I’ve encountered so far. Our guide, Alex drove us, educated us and entertained us from Johannasberg to Pilanesberg. Every aspect of this tour was seamless, the drivers were safe and enhanced our trip with their knowledge of the area and park. We went on several safari drives and on each one we encountered different experiences/animals and knowledge which all were above our expectations. The accommodations at the 4 star Bakubung Bush Lodge were beautiful in the middle of the safari. The food was excellent quality and service was outstanding. This was a bucket list item checked off, thanks to MoAfrika and Pilanesberg Safari. Highly recommend using guides on safaris as you gain so much more information and respect for the wildlife and their behaviours. For example, I learned why it is imperative that giraffes bend their legs when lowering their head and the list goes on and on. Thanks for a memorable life experience !

Maybe my idea of luxury is different from that of MoAfrica but sitting in a completely full mini bus with luggage on the floor for 3 hours was not what I expected. A "game drive" in another closed and full mini bus through the park was also not what I expected. My expectations where met as soon as I arrived in Shepard's Tree. Fantastic lunch, beautiful game drive with a knowledgeable guide, an outdoor barbecue dinner, a gorgeous room, another great game drive in the morning and a great breakfast. Around that time a got a message if I wanted another "game drive" in a closed vehicle at 11:30 or a pick up at 14:00. I opted for the game drive and was lucky as there were only 4 of us in the mini bus so at least everyone had a window seat. If the animals were on the wrong side of the bus, you could only catch a glimpse of them. From the lodge to the airport I had to change bus twice. Arriving at the airport one hour late was no issue for me, but not sticking to the schedule may be a issue if you have a plane to catch. MoAfrica provides low quality transport and no luxury at all. For that they depend on the hotel. I don't recommend you use them as an intermediary, hire a rental car or let the hotel arrange a pickup.

Everything was perfectly settled. Nice place and very friendly staff. Also, we had the chance to see Rhynos very close to us (during the night). It was amazing!

We saw all the Big 5 animals. Bonus was actually being present for a lion hunt trying to get impalas. Absolutely amazing!!! Plus, the next morning we saw a leopard and got some close up pictures. Would highly recommend this park!
