Epic Quad Bike Experience

Took my kids here and what an experience! The views riding through the bush are absolutely breathtaking, pure untouched African nature all around you. It felt like a real adventure from the moment we arrived.

Safety was clearly a priority, helmets and hair nets on before anyone got near a quad, which I really appreciated as a mum. The quads themselves were in great condition, well maintained and perfectly suited for the terrain.

The guide led the way at a comfortable pace, keeping a close eye on all of us throughout. My kids felt safe, confident and had the time of their lives. Highly recommended for any family visiting the area!

ps: combine it with ziplining!

A Christmas to remember

We traveled SA for Christmas. Meg helped us to organise everything before landing, making the whole experience so smooth and stress free. We absolutely loved everything planned for us. I think we were spoiled with the service from start to finish – between fully organising our itinerary, the collections to and from everything and the tours themselves. Meg always checked in to ensure we had a great day and to enquire if there was anything else we needed. She went over and above for us to make sure we had the best trip!

Harrison and our other tour guides were the best! So knowable and the best fun! You could tell they just loved what they do. We saw so much and learned so much from them. They had blankets and treats for us along the way. And the safari jeeps were super clean and spacious! We also loved how all of the guides knew all of the locals which was so lovely to see – how everyone is one big community!

Our Christmas with My Africa was one we will always remember. I couldn’t recommend Meg and the team more. I’d love to do it all over again!

Sunrise Safari with MY AFRICA

We recently had a couple of Safari’s with MY AFRICA while staying in Hoedspruit and we were blown away by the level of customer service, even at 5am in the morning. We had amazing sightings of wildlife, saw 4 of the big 5 in a space of an hour as we did Pridelands as well as Blue Canyon wich are both big five properties but obviously this can vary. The guides are very knowledgeable, incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met! EXCELLENT !!! The safari exceeded my expectations in terms of experience. You will never go wrong booking a safari with MY AFRICA❤️🐾🐆🌿

What a ride!

A really lovely location where we went. Riding quads here in the vast, rugged nature with a guide leading the way is AMAZING.
Everything was perfectly arranged; the car went through the gate using the access code via WhatsApp, then we drove for kilometers over bumps and potholes to the quads.

Brief explanation, hairnets/helmets on…..
Off we go…… Wonderful ride through the rugged nature, the guide riding in front….. keeping a close eye on our four quads….
I rode at the back, leaving huge gaps between us, so I could tear around really fast for a bit…haha.
We took a short break along the way at a zipline launching point.

We did the zipline a few days later after all.
Amazing. Highly recommended.

Amazing Quad Bike Trails

What a day out for the whole family! I came here with my kids and we absolutely loved it. The access was easy, gate code via WhatsApp, and from there it was an adventure already, bumping along the dirt road to the quads.

The guide was brilliant, patient with the kids and made sure everyone felt safe before we set off. Helmets on and we were straight into the most stunning rugged bush, my kids had the biggest smiles the entire ride.

We also stopped at the zip line platform along the way, which was a lovely bonus, and we came back a few days later to do that too. If you are looking for something adventurous and memorable with your kids, this is it. Cannot recommend it enough!

We booked two safari drives through The Radisson - one was to Blue Canyon and the second drive was in Pridelands - we were a lot luckier on the second drive, we saw a rhino, elephants, hippos, buffalo’s etc.

Really really recommend Shane as a guide, he brought a great amount of knowledge and enthusiasm - we learned so much about tracking animals!

Not only did they show and tell us lots about the mammals, they made it a true nature experience by sharing some knowledge on the birds and vegetation of the area as well. Thanks John and Eddie for making this safari a memorable one!

On our evening game drive through a private game reserve we were able to see 4 out of the 5 Big 5! He was so good a spotting animals and event took us on the hunt for a leopard which he spotted from so far away I can’t believe it! He was able to take us up so close to see it! He was super intelligent and overall was an amazing guide!
