Custom tour package - Great job Ben - Ben is an amazing tour guide. We had only two days for Joburh trip. I reached out to Ben around 11 pm the day we arrived. He was very prompt in responding. He created a custom package for us with Pilaensburg, Elephant interactions and Ukutula. In Ukutula, we enjoyed walking with Lion, petting Cheetah and little play time with Lion cubs. This place is just amazing. The elephant experience was no less. Three, the name of the mother elephant, and her two daughters are so beautiful and friendly. Pilanesberg safari is a must see.
Ben, you are the best. Hope to see you in the near future for the Kruger safari

Don't think twice. Just go! - I was very happy with the tour as it allowed me to connect with nature. The fauna and flora were incredible. Spending many hours in silence was a unique experience, something we’ve become unaccustomed to in the information age. It was also a lesson in patience, as we can’t control which animals will appear. I was lucky to spot the buffalo, which is said to be very difficult to see. However, I didn’t get to see the lion or leopard, which are supposedly easier to spot. But that’s life—always full of surprises. The driver, Arnold, ensured a safe journey to reach the park and was very kind. The ranger, Elvis, demonstrated great expertise in his work and had an infectious enthusiasm throughout the exploration in the park. It was worth every penny. Long live South Africa, its beauty, and its people!

Wonderful time - The park was amazing and was lucky enough to spot 3 out of the big 5 and we could see one more but from very far away. Leonard from xplore africa was much helpful and very friendly. We liked dealing with him so much that we booked another safari on the following dat.

Pilanesberg Safari - The Safari was amazing, the guide was very friendly and helpful took care about the group. The driver Leonard was nice, gentle. He picked me up in time and dropped me off in time. Leonard was very cool and good.

Great experience with Xplore Afrika!!! - Explore Afrika was great. Ben was my tour guide and he really knew a lot about South Africa and the best places to visit. I've been to Johannesburg a few times and always use Xplore Afrika as my guides. New adventures and great people. Excited to use them again when I return.

5-star experience - Our driver Ben was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about his line of work. He even added on an additional complimentary stop in Pretoria. The safari was an unforgettable experience-happy to have booked with this company.

A super natural vibe🤙🏾👍🏾 - Ben and I did a convenient last minute tour to Soweto together to learn about the town's profound history, visit Nelson Mandela's home, meet people of the town and patronize them for the valuables they had to offer (in moderation). They have beautiful restaurants right there on Villagaz St. and surrounding the town was more historic landmarks of a unforgettable past.
There were a few more vendors to bargain with and ab evening visit to Winnie Mandela's Housing Development near twin towers was very intriguing to learn from Sylvester who lives there about how they live as a community and the history of that area is remarkable.
Surely you will be educated well and humbled simultaneously. Overall my experience was fulfilled with bliss by the raw and rich beauty of place , people and time that will stay with me forever.
Thanks Ben for your excellent, trusted service. I'll look forward the next tour events to come when I'm back in SA, god willing!
Peace & Blessings Forever More

Very memorable game drive experience closest to Johannesburg - I have explored Kruger a bunch of national parks in Botswana including chobe and this ended up being just an additional day trip Safari from Johannesburg on a friend's suggestion and it was awesome! Ben was very informative, punctual and a great guide. I couldn't recommend this tour more!
