Karina B2023-11-19bucketlist: safari in south africa ✔️ Everything was perfect! I was able to pet the elephants and feed them. Even though I was a little scared, Tim and his team were very patient and kind with me. I also saw very cute giraffes and their babies such as other pretty animals. Tim is such a funny and lovely guy! His love and passion for the animals (and his wife) is endless! He made sure that I felt safe and enjoyed every moment. Furthermore, he took a lot of beautiful pictures, which I am very grateful for! Thank you for this day, thank you for this unforgettable day, thank you for making one of my dreams come true and thank you for the rock.🥺 Also many thanks to the young blonde guide (I forgot her name) for this amazing day and for teaching me a lot about the animals! I am looking forward to another tour with you on my next layover.Kashif19692023-11-17Pilanesberg Safari Me and my work colleague were in Johannesburg on business trip and had weekend free so decided to book Pilanesberg safari with Tim as he was highly recommended, he was highly recommended not just this time but also 5 years ago when I came here for the first time but never got a chance to go for safari. Tim came sharp on time to pick us up from hotel in the morning. The plan was to get to Pilanesberg national park before the sun rise. After few hours journey on the road we arrived well on time, greeted by his polite team member. Tim offered home baked biscuits cooked by his lovely wife and hot tea which definitely helped us refreshing ourselves after hours of road trip. While booking Tim asked us to bring warm clothes with us as it was late August. We came prepared as best we could with the right outfit but it wasn't enough. We were so glad when Tim provided us with warm jackets and wool blankets to wrap us otherwise we would have frozen to death, we simply couldn't realise how cold it could be in the wild especially when you are travelling in open vehicle. We first went to the location where we could see the sun rising, it was absolutely stunning. After that we started looking for wild animals. Luck was on our side as we almost saw big fives in their natural habitat along with other animals. Had a frighting experience though with elephants but we knew we were in safe hands with the right team of professionals, Tim did brief us before safari not to do something stupid and stay calm all the time. It was simply an amazing experience. One thing which we really liked and appreciated was Tim took all the burden from us taking photos during safari, instead he took all the photos using his professional SLR camera while we simply enjoyed the experience, at the end he uploaded all the photos to our phones. The other thing which is worth mentioning is we really enjoyed Tim's company, he's such a nice down to earth person, even took us to the right place where we could buy local honey. If I ever visit South Africa again either on business or with family I will definitely arrange Kruger safari with Tim. Highly recommended.Richard C2023-11-13Great personal tour, excellent tour guide From pick up in the morning to drop off in the late afternoon, we were very well looked after by our guide. He was personable, funny and a wealth of information. We asked on the day to add on an elephant tour which he happily organised.Trek256395662002023-11-13Great experience Great tour experience with Tim , acceptional knowledge on animals and safari tours , great hospitality shown by Tim from hotel pick up to safari location and back to hotel , amazing experience with his walk with lion tour, one of the best safari and tour of my life , a great great adventure Cheers !!Matthew E2023-11-12Helpful and kind tour company Glen Afric is a lovely reserve and our tour guides were really knoweldgeable and friendly.

We only had a day in Johannesburg so Tim kindly created a tour for us so that we could enjoy another part of South Africa. It was great! I would really recommend using Tim and Mikes tours if you are in South Africa.mark_g4ndy2023-11-09Unforgettable experience We had an unforgettable experience with Tim as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We had a great Safari tour and also experience the local neighborhood / Townships and the Apartheid museum. You can talk openly about everything. Highly recommended!!Damir R2023-11-08Great Safari with Tim The tour was booked quickly, just one or two days before the trip. But Tim went above and beyond for us and set everything up the way we wanted it. Additionally, the prices are fair. We plan to book a tour at Wildside Tours & Safaris again shortly because we are sure that Tim will do his best to make this experience great again. So, book your trip here if you want it to be how you want it. You won't be sorry you did it. Thank you very much, Tim!Janelle K2023-10-26Thank you Mike for a great birthday! I had the pleasure of having Mike as my tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and a great guide all together. His personality and humor really made a difference during the tour and the early morning coffee and tea was a great touch to our early pick up. The pictures and videos taken during the tour were also a great addition! I will definitely use Wildside when I come back to Jo-burg. Thank you for making my birthday a great one Mike !!!!!
