Pilanesberg Game Reserve - Johannesburg or Pretoria

Wake up early for hot beverages and rusks before it’s time to depart for a 2½ to 3-hour sunrise game drive in an open safari vehicle. Again, the exact length of the game drive depends on what you see and how long you stop at animal sightings. Return to Manyane for a hearty breakfast prepared by your guide.

At about 11h00, we pack up and leave the resort. We head off into the bushveld in our closed tour vehicle for our last game drive in Pilanesberg. At midday, we stop for lunch and refreshments at the Pilanesberg Centre (for your own account) and then leave the game reserve for the return journey to Johannesburg.

You can expect to arrive back in the city between 17h30 and 18h30. The exact time depends on where you need to be dropped off as well as the late afternoon traffic.
