Pilanesberg National Park

This morning, we'll embark on another safari within the park, where we'll get to experience the ways in which the animals move around and learn more about the smaller, intricate details of how everything in nature fits together. Your guide will do his/her best to show you nature and give us opportunities to find and learn more about the things we come across.

Before the heat of the day, we'll slowly make our way back to the lodge where we will enjoy our brunch and relax before setting off in the afternoon again to spot some wildlife.

Later in the afternoon, when it starts cooling down a bit and the animals become more active, we will head out on an afternoon game drive. Here we will cover a bit more distance which gives us a great opportunity to spot some animals. Keep your eyes open as we will be searching for some of the animals that inhabit the area.

After our game drive, we'll slowly return to the lodge to enjoy our dinner.
