Day 1

Pilanesberg Game Reserve

We love this moment: your South African safari starts here. We'll answer any questions you have and get you out there to discover the amazing wildlife, people and landscapes that this remarkable country has to offer.

Situated in an extinct volcanic crater to the northwest of Johannesburg, the Pilanesberg Game Reserve ranks among Africa’s finest malaria-free safari destinations. Established in the 1970s and restocked with all the Big Five, this 550km² reserve should provide you with great elephant, buffalo, white rhino, giraffe, zebra and antelope encounters. With a bit of luck you might also see lions, leopards or other large carnivores.

Evening Game Drive, Pilanesberg Game Reserve

You'll love the warm light and cooler temperatures as we take you out to explore on your evening game drive. This time of day is when both predators and prey are most active and it can feel as though anything could happen at any moment. This is when you'll most enjoy being on safari.

An early morning game drive in Pilanesberg National Park offers one last chance to witness the African wilderness awakening. As the sun rises over the rolling hills, the landscape glows in golden hues, creating the perfect backdrop for spotting wildlife. The cool morning air increases animal activity, making it an ideal time to see predators like lions, leopards, and hyenas returning from their nocturnal hunts. Elephants, rhinos, and giraffes can often be seen roaming the open plains, while bird enthusiasts can spot a variety of species in the crisp morning light.

After the game drive, guests return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast before preparing for departure. Depending on travel arrangements, there may be time for a final moment of relaxation or last-minute photos. As guests leave Pilanesberg, they take with them unforgettable memories of South Africa’s wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
