Johannesburg to the Pilanesberg

Guests are picked up early in Johannesburg or Pretoria and driven to Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Arrive at Pilanesberg between 09h00 and 09h15. Your day in the game reserve starts with a 2.5- to 3-hour game drive in our closed tour vehicle. The exact length of the game drive depends on whether you see an exciting animal sighting and spend a little bit longer at the sighting.

From 12h00 to 13h00, enjoy a light lunch and beverages (for your own cost) at Pilanesberg Centre. After the lunch break, we make our way to Manyane Resort to book in and drop our bags off. Your guide for the afternoon safari tour meets you mid-afternoon at Manyane, between 16h00 and 16h30. Climb on board an open safari vehicle for a 2.5- to 3-hour game drive (again, it depends on what you see).

After a wonderful game drive, your guide returns you to the resort. Freshen up and relax before it’s time for dinner, which is prepared by your guide.
