    What a restful experience we had. The entire excursion was so lovely. It lasted about three hours. Our guide, Aiden, was so inclusive with everyone when engaging with us. I was also communicating with Chris the entire time in the days leading up to our trip. They are very patient. Definitely planning to go back again because of how friendly everyone was.

    We had a great experience at the Game Drive, Our guide Natie seemed to be very knowledgeable with regards to the Animals and the rest of the Game Reserve, He was engaging with everyone. We saw a Rhino, Cheetah, Serval and other animals as well. I also enjoyed the snack break we had by the river with a beautiful sunset.

    I won’t give them a 5 star because Natie did not arrive on time, and we had to contact them in order to find out how far he is.

  7. Andrea

    We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon game drive. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was special and a privilege to observe the wildlife in their natural surroundings.
    I recommend this group and look forward to booking with them on future visits

  8. Odia (verified owner)

    The game drive was really great. We definitely enjoyed it. Nathi was really welcoming and bubbly to start off with and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and our surroundings. We were truly lucky to see many animals in their habitat.

  9. Karen Ackermann (verified owner)

    We booked a guided game drive as a company year end function, which we enjoyed tremendously. Our guide, Aiden, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which added to the already great atmosphere and experience. I highly recommend this – it was a great success.

  10. Matthew Erasmus (verified owner)

    My wife and I really enjoyed the game drive. Very refreshing and relaxing to sit back and enjoy the bush. We managed to see the very rare black Rhino up close, with lots of other wildlife. Plenty to see. Highly recommended. Thanks Adrian.

    We had a guided afternoon game drive on Christmas Day. It was such an amazing and relaxing way to spend the afternoon, and we loved every minute of it! Chris and Aidan were fantastic. Chris shared his knowledge and facts about the animals at every sighting and I learned so much, which I didn’t expect! Already excited to book another game drive.

  12. Zelmarie Dry (verified owner)

    Absolutely amazing, was a wonderful trip. Guide was very fun and able to keep our attention and very funny so we were kept entertained. Will definitely book with you again in the future

  13. Macaela Becker

    I booked an afternoon game drive for my family, and it was certainly an experience we won’t soon forget! This drive got us closer to Rhino than we could have ever asked for. Our guide, Chris, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I will most certainly book with you again, thank you!

  14. Melanie Vandiar (verified owner)

    Our guide Chris was accommodating and knowledgeable about the animals, birds and plants within the game reserve.

    Chris went the extra mile to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. The game drive was longer than the stipulated time and we appreciate the extra effort put in.

    Chris made the trip interactive and I would highly recommend this game drive to others.

    It was true value for money and will definitely be back.

    This Safari is very close to Pretoria, first good point.
    The communication was excellent from the first day even before booking, just through questions through email. They are quick to answer and once you book you get all the info through WhatsApp which is extremely helpful.
    The 3 hours from the afternoon safari allowed us to see 3 out of the 5 big five and Aiden, our driver, was super friendly and helpful with the explanations all the way.
    I most definitely recommend this drive!

    We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience with DGRTRAILS. After a couple of quiet days with very poor viewings we were presented with visits to the lion, buffalo, jackal and the usual array of buck. Aidan was a responsible driver, was not reckless when trying to get us to the big sightings of the lion, buffalo and a just missed sight of the rhino. We would definitely book a drive through DGRTRAILS again. Chris, Aiden and the team hold their clients best interest at heart. They are there for the guest and don’t take advantage of the drive to satisfy their own interests. Most definitely a 5 star outfit! Thank you for a superb experience.

  17. Duma

    It’s always great doing something with someone who is very knowledgeable about what they do, it makes the experience more enjoyable.
    Considering the fact that Dinokeng is a stone throw away from JHB and PTA, more people deserve to have this quiet & peace of the wild experience.
    I love Dinokeng and for some time I had thought it was a hoax that they have Lions, until Chris spotted one. That was my highlight of the day.
    Doing the guided bush walk next. Whatever happens DON’T RUN!!! Lol

  18. Rafael (verified owner)

    We had a great drive with the whole family. DGR was great in facilitating and accommodating us. Aiden was very friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond.

  19. Jolene (verified owner)

    We absolutely loved going on an afternoon drive with DGR. Aiden was a great guide and even stops for the little things, like a Black-winged kite. I would really recommend a game drive as it takes a lot of self-drive “stress” away. You can literally sit back and enjoy the ride. We will certainly be back for more! Thank you Chris, Aiden and team.

  20. Tasneem Mahmood (verified owner)

    We were accommodated with a last minute booking. Chris was si friendly and willing to answer all my questions, even about the weather. Aiden was our guide, he arrived on time. He went out of his was to show us as many animals as possible. The children thoroughly enjoyed the drive too. We will definitely do this again. Highly-Recommended team, thanks Chris and Aiden!

    This was my third safari in South Africa and Jock was a fantastic guide. Young and enthusiastic with a wealth of knowledge about all the flora and fauna. As well as seeing the rhino and many other animals we learnt about termite mounds, bird’s nests and why the leaves may change size depending where they are. I would totally recommend a safari drive with Jock. Great value for money too. Nobody can guarantee any animals, but you’ll learn loads even if you have a disappointment re the big five. You’ll just have to go again if you need to see more! A great excuse!

    Blessings and many thanks once again.

    I booked a guided game walk with my cousin for a bit of family bonding. The experience far exceeded our expectations, and was both exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. It was lovely to be out in the bush and we created a fun lasting memory together. I can highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you Chris and Jacques, and thank you for the pics as well.

  23. Kay (verified owner)

    Booked a morning and an afternoon guided game drive with our guide. He has some quirky jokes when stating some facts about the animals and a good disposition altogether. We enjoyed our game drive but such is nature that we didn’t get to see any of the big 5 except for the rhino on 2 safaris.

    I rated this 3 stars because while the guide was great, the afternoon tour which was supposed to leave at 4pm only left 30minutes later because a group who booked for 6 ppl ended up showing up with 7 at the last minute and as a result created a huge issue with groups who had already booked way in advance all because they were trying to now accommodate this group of 7 ppl. A lot of chopping and changing and wasting of time when they could’ve just said no to them and let the ppl who paid in advance go on time according to plan.

    We also got the vibe from time to time that while the guide was lovely, he seemed a bit sarcastic in his answer to questions probably for a lack of a better knowledge. Other than that however it’s a good game drive.

His quirky jokes and positive disposition certainly add to the overall experience, and we’re glad you appreciated his efforts.

      Your point about any perceived sarcasm in the guides responses is well noted. We strive for excellence in customer service and will address this matter with him to ensure that all interactions are informative and pleasant for our guests.

    Had a great afternoon guided drive with Keal! Very knowledgeable about the reserve and its animals, and is experienced with tours & engagement. Every question got answered. With the limited animals out and about on the day, Keal showed us a lot and went to great lengths to get us brilliant views of the Rhino. Got great pickup and drop off from/to our lodge in the reserve as well which is top class. Would definitely recommend!

  25. Vuyo (verified owner)

    Nice afternoon game drive in nature. The guide Jacques was so knowledgeable and answered all the questions with enthusiasm. Although a lot of the animals were hiding because of the heat there were track marks to show that the animals had been there. Did get to see a few animals though. Highly recommend you book with DGR trails if you find yourself at Dinokeng.

  26. Paulo (verified owner)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our first ever game drive with DGR Trails.
    We had Jacques as our guide, and he had so much knowledge and interesting facts to share with us.

    We had the honour of seeing several magnificent rhinos, giraffes, zebras, warthogs,
    and so many different antelope and birds, hard to name them all.

    Such an amazing and truly unforgettable experience.

    Highly recommended! Thank you DGR Trails and Jacques.
