Reviews
The tour guides were outstanding. Our driver, Dennis, picked us up at 6 AM and drove us for two hours, sharing insights about the city along the way. Upon arrival at the lion reserve, everything was thoroughly explained, and we felt at ease walking among the Kings of the jungle. Later, during the Predator tour, we had the chance to pet lion cubs and a cheetah. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Even with the rain, it turned out to be a fantastic experience. We gained valuable knowledge and felt completely safe throughout the walk. Our tour guide was exceptionally friendly.
This experience is truly unique. If you visit Johannesburg, I recommend booking with Tourgy Tourz. My driver Dennis arrived promptly at my hotel and provided insights about the various cities and cultures as we traveled to the Lodge. He is an exceptional driver as well.
Thabang picked us up right on schedule and showed great professionalism. He is an excellent and careful driver. Everyone at Ukutula was wonderful—kind, professional, and patient. My friends and I had an incredible experience.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, and the guides demonstrated extensive knowledge about the animals. Thabang, our driver and guide, was friendly and well-informed about the area. An amazing experience overall!
This tour was truly incredible! I felt quite anxious at first, but the expertise of the guides helped me unwind and created one of my most unforgettable experiences.
Walking with lions is an incredible experience. My mom and I were expertly guided by the support team, making it truly fascinating. Although we missed out on interacting with the puppies—there were just two, one very young and the other unwell—it was still well worth it.
Walking with the lions was an incredible experience! The guides provided thorough safety briefings and ensured everyone had the opportunity to engage with the lions, cubs, and cheetah. We felt secure throughout, and the breaks in between interactions were appreciated. I was initially apprehensive about the outing, but it was a bucket list item for my wife, and I’m so pleased we participated. I highly recommend the Ukutula staff for this experience.
An unforgettable experience. Walking alongside lions was both humbling and awe-inspiring; being near such majestic creatures offers a fresh perspective on life. The guides were calm, knowledgeable, and showed great respect for the lions, making the outing feel both safe and purposeful, not just a tourist activity. It’s one of those unique moments that highlight the extraordinary nature of the world when you venture outside your comfort zone. A truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
This tour was incredible, and the guides were fantastic. It's a must-try if you're in the area. I was quite nervous, but the guides really helped me feel at ease.
