Wonderful first day in South Africa.
We had an excellent tour with Shane Gouldie - he is a rally professional guide, really passionate about the animals and parks. It was a private tour on our first day in South Africa and he told us so many interesting facts about the country, the Guateng area and the nature of SA. When he drove into the Lion and Rhino Park, he knew the exact times and places where we could view different animals from the best spots. We were so lucky to see the wild dogs, white lions and cheetahs up close and even a rhino walked next to us along the road. The Wonder cave is a beautiful cave and very much worth it as well. We most highly recommend doing a tour with Shane.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for a very informative and positive review. I enjoyed having you guys in South Africa and hope to see you again. Enjoy the rest of your trip . Shane

Lions, Cheetah, Wild Dogs o my.
Shane is knowledgeable and interesting. My wife and I felt like we had reconnected with a good friend. We saw Cheetah, White Lions, Wilderbeast, Boars, Wild dogs, Antelope, Zebra and expansive landscape. We had a blast. The cave tour was also impressive, our guide was well informed and answered all of our many questions, if you like caves you'll love these.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for doing a review. The day was enjoyable and reviews like this make life a lot more pleasurable. Shane

Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves cost?
+
Prices start at $87 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves?
+
Included: Qualified Guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entry fee into the Rhino and Lion Park R200 per person; and Entry Fee into the Wonder Caves R80. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 515 listed pickup locations in and around Johannesburg. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Safari at Rhino and Lion Park and Visit Wonder Caves?
+
