          Up close and personal with Monkeys and Elephants
          This was such a cool tour. Very interactive. The monkey sanctuary was alot of fun. Those monkeys are hilarious. They jump on you, you can feed them and they're very playful. The Walk with the Elephants was incredible. Loved loved loved everything about. The guide was great and the trainers were so good and patient. Everyone really got to enjoy their own personal experience. Our driver MK was very nice pointing out interesting spots along the way and giving us the history We really enjoyed him

          Pilanesberg Private Safari
          The three private Safaris were amazing. We saw four of the big five with lions walking past, a herd of elephants at the water hole and numerous rhino sightings. The tour guides made the experience memorable.

          Great up close views
          Literally couldn't have gotten any closer to the lions (on several occasions) and rhinos (the guide had to move the truck when one got a bit too close. We saw three cheetah, spring box, antelope, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, ostrich , and so much more. Great facility and good food options at the restaurant. Well worth the short drive from Johannesburg, but note, this isn't an actual safari but rather a curated drive through several separate, gated compounds that the predators from each other. The predators are fed so they don't have to hunt for themselves and the other animals get hay supplements that ensure they bunch together for easy viewing.

          Thrilling to be up close to elephants and monkeys
          My guide Bobo was magnificent, he could tell me lots of information about Johannesburg and he was lovely company. The tour with the elephants was thrilling and awe inspiring. And the monkeys were such fun, silly and playful like children. The tour guides were brilliant and so pleasant to everyone. Their English was impecable, even their wonderful humor was in perfect words. The knowledge and politeness was very impressive. I loved it! Ten stars

          Excellent Tour by Virgo
          Virgio Tours made our trip memorable and exciting. Tour guides Colin and Mike were very knowledgeable, friendly and made sure our group of 24 family and friends had a great time. All arrangements were excellent from pick up at airport, hotel, tours and Kruger Park. We saw the big 5. Thank you Mr Clement for making sure we got all that was on the itinerary.

          Great Tour
          Five Star Tour! The tour was very thorough and the tour guide, MK, was fun, high energy, accommodating, patient, and highly informative. We got the "real" tour of Johannesburg and Soweto.

          Please don’t miss this one
          It was a fascinating experience to understand the work of the research centre and that the animals are released into the wild to start their own families. It was amazing to see the cheetahs at so close proximity - their beauty is sublime. The staff are very brave in the way they get so close to wild animals and it was a huge privilege to be in their midst. An amazing experience.
