Safari Experience In Pilanesberg

Wake up to the gentle sounds of the African bush as your day begins before sunrise. You’ll set out on an early morning game drive, the best time to witness the Big 5 as they are most active in the cool morning air. Your experienced ranger will guide you through on the lookout for lions on the hunt, elephants at the waterhole, or a leopard lounging in the trees.

Return to the lodge mid-morning for a hearty breakfast served overlooking the bushveld. The late morning and early afternoon are yours to enjoy at leisure—relax by the pool.

As the sun begins to dip, you’ll head out again for a sunset game drive, when the golden hour casts magical light across the reserve.

After the drive, return to the lodge for a delicious dinner. Depending on the lodge and weather, you may enjoy a bush fire dinner under the stars—a traditional African-style braai (barbecue) accompanied by crackling flames, local delicacies, for an unforgettable end to your safari day.
