Good safari experience but accommodation can be improved.
I took the 6 day 5 nights safari tour with MoAfrika tours.
The accommodation at the Tremisina lodge was decent. But the accommodation at Marc Treehouse lodge was found wanting. First, the walk to the treehouse was quite far. And it required us to drag our luggage a long distance through the stone/rock pavement. There were many ants on the pathway which inevitably crawled on your luggage. The accommodation itself was dimly lit and had many insects such as ants. I had to flick away many ants and other insects that were crawling on my bed, mattresses, pillows, blankets etc. Food served at Marc Treehouse was also of poorer quality compared to Tremisana lodge. The beef was not tender and hard to swallow. Finally, I was hoping to see more animals around the treehouse, like some monkey swinging outside my door, but alas there was none. Only some impalas...
As for the safari experience, it was exciting to see so many animals roaming freely around in the wild. Animals spotted include lions, elephants, giraffe, hippo, rhinos, leopard, buffalo, jackal, wild dogs, baboons, hyena and others. Given the fact that I stayed longer, I guess it is only natural that the number of animals sighted would correspondingly increase.
Guides were alright – neither remarkable nor unremarkable. I guess they were focused on driving and spotting animals so didn’t have much interaction with them. Couldn’t remember their names or anything interesting about them too. Some guides were more time-conscious and clock-watching whilst others were more liberal with the timings.
Also did the Moholoholo tour, learnt about animal poaching and conservation efforts. Saw some eagles and my favourite (white lions), and some other animals such as hyena, jaguar, cheetah etc. It felt like I was visiting the local zoo and less interesting compared to the safari drives.

Excellent wildlife viewing - hotel facilities average.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Kruger game drives as well as the scenic tour of NE South Africa. Guides were knowledgeable and engaging. I do wish there was a little more time spent observing the myriad of birds in the park - I do understand that most visitors are on the tour to see the Big 5 as well as the numerous other wildlife in the park.
The hotel facilities were acceptable. My room was nice; however, nothing really was working, including lights, television, etc. I had to go to the main reception area to read. The staff was pleasant but did not follow through when I asked if the lamps or television could be fixed. The restaurant was okay but selection was limited and the hotel was not particularly close to any other options for meals.
The trip was easy to book and MoAfrica was very responsive to my questions.

Great Safari experience
I strongly recommend MoAfrika Tours as I had a great experience for My Safari at Pilanesberg.
From the communication to the service, everything was clear.
The guide on the tour was one of a kind and gave us a lot of information.
We saw many animals very closely which was an amazing experience.

Tour operator is efficient to handle problems fast, Howe transport needs further improvement.
Our recent Tours to Johannesburg, land tours & Kruger Park Safari we have experienced the excitement of up & down moments. The schedule of pickup guests for tours was confusing however with fast communication with our tour operator that they’re efficient to update us & fast to handle the problem. Hopefully, MoAfrika can make further improvements on this operation of transport or pickup schedule. Otherwises, the guests will be caught in a frightful situation or missed their flights to the next destinations. Keep up to your good Work.
It was okay but could be a ton better.
I do recommend this tour of Soweto but be careful, they will try to pull at your heart strings and bring you to the slum area at the beginning to meet pre school kids in their “kindergarten “ building so that you will donate to the facility. Be prepared to have to give tips to different people too on this trip. The Nelson Mandela and Hector Pieterson memorial were the ones I wanted to see but the latter was rushed.
A bit over-promised
All in all it was ok. The bus from Joburg to Hoedspruit was small, packed and warm. It had a flat tire when we left.
The 3 hour sunset tour felt a bit stingy as we were the only vehicle that looked worn out and we didn’t have any wine or beer during the snack moment. Only soft drinks and water. The other cars were very well taken care of with nice glasses etc.
The tour guides were amazing though.

Everything except the food and the service in the hotel restaurant was gigantic
Everything except the food and the service in the hotel restaurant was gigantic. The guides from the safari tours and the panorama route were super nice and we saw 4 of the big five. Also the hotel was very comfortable and the staff at the reception very accommodating. Unfortunately, however, the dinner was not completely included as stated in the description, but only up to a certain amount. The food was not very tasty and often not warm. In addition, the buffet was not replenished both in the evening and in the morning, even if the buffet was still open for more than 2 hours (an example was the fruit plate, which was already empty at 8 o'clock and was not replenished, although there is breakfast until 10 o'clock in the morning.) In addition, the staff in the hotel restaurant was very rude and did not give good service.

Super knowledgeable!
We were able to see a lot of the city, and had a great time doing it. Our guide Thespo was very educated about the history, and geography!
