Guides View on Pilanesberg Day Tours Pilanesberg day tours from our guides point of view. Hi, my name is Jade and I have been working with South Africa Adventures for about 6 months now. Part of what I do is the Pilanesberg Day tours. I absolutely love what I do and its gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to showcase our beautiful wildlife to our guests. This is my account from a ranger’s perspective on the safari tours we offer. We are dedicated to making the tours as unique and interactive as possible. Keeping a bull elephant calm is one thing, trying to adjust to the vast differences in our client’s expectations, mannerism’s, cultures and perspectives is another. They should teach us human phycology on our game ranging courses as well, but we still love our clients!!!! Last week I had a group of four Americans for example.  It was not only their first time in South Africa, but was going to be their first real safari. No pressure at all!! Their excitement on the 2 hour drive from Johannesburg was contagious to say the least. I was so looking forward to sharing in the day tour to the Pilanesberg. The tours start pretty early in the morning for me. I was up at 04H00 to be ready and waiting at the client’s hotel by 06H00. And yes coffee is the most important meal of the day so there is a ‘compulsory’ coffee break on route. We arrive at the park by about 08H00, stretch the legs and introduce the clients to Solomzi who would be leading the safari in the Pilanebserg. We then climb into the game viewing vehicle and head off into the park. And as usual the Pilanesberg rose to the occasion. The group had its first sighting
