We had a fabulous time on our 3 day Pilanesberg trip. Andrew is a great driver/guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and safe driver with clean car. The accommodation was excellent- great room, fantastic food, helpful staff. The game drives are well organised and informative. We saw giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos lions. And lots of others. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and I highly recommend.

We were disappointed to be mostly driving on paved roads looking for wild animals. In all fairness we had just finished a fabulous Serengeti Safari. Our Kruger driver drove very quickly making it difficult to spot animals. At times he did not listen to the requests of other travellers ie to stop, back up, or go forward. He was not all bad.....so it was still good...just not as good as the Serengeti experience

We had a great tour, loved the itinerary. So many great experiences including so many animals in the wild. Very unique experience from the lodges to Capetown with most everything being arranged for us. Highly recommend this tour with Timeline travel! We think it was a great value.
