Journey from Johannesburg to the Pilanesberg Game reserve
Arrive Johannesburg Airport (Lanseria or OR Tambo), or be ready at your hotel before 10:00am. One of Mmilo Tours’ renowned guides will meet, greet and transfer you privately in luxury touring SUV to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, and the 5 Star ecologically sensitively designed Tshukudu Bush Lodge perched on a hillside deep in the bush.
This incredible wilderness experience is but a 2-hour drive from the concrete jungles of Johannesburg and Pretoria.
You will be at leisure until the late afternoon, with time to anticipate your first exciting game drive which is preceded by "high tea" with other guests.
Then, set off on your first sunset safari in an open-sided game drive vehicle, carrying max six passengers with your skilled and experienced game ranger. The rangers share their intimate knowledge of animals and plants.
After your game drive, you will return to the lodge for dinner. Each dish is prepared to 5 star standards.
Porter takes luggage as there are 132 steps to lodge reception.
