You’ll be picked up early in Johannesburg or Pretoria for the drive to Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Upon arrival around 9:00 AM, your first 2.5 to 3-hour game drive begins in a closed tour vehicle, offering you a glimpse of the Big Five. After a light lunch at Pilanesberg Centre near a scenic waterhole, you’ll check in at Manyane or Bakgatla Resort. Later, join an open-vehicle safari for another game drive before returning to camp for a guide-prepared dinner and a night under canvas.

Wake up to hot beverages and rusks before heading out on a 2.5 to 3-hour early morning game drive in an open vehicle. With luck, you may spot lions, elephants, or even elusive leopards as the bush comes to life. Return to the resort mid-morning for a hearty breakfast. The rest of the day is free to relax, swim, or explore the lodge grounds. After lunch (own cost), enjoy another exciting afternoon game drive. Return to camp for a delicious dinner and your second night in the wild.

Begin the day with coffee and rusks before your last sunrise safari in an open vehicle. Return to camp mid-morning for breakfast. Then, pack up and check out before your final game drive in a closed vehicle en route to the gate. Enjoy one last stop for lunch at the Pilanesberg Centre (own account), then hit the road back to Johannesburg or Pretoria. Expect to arrive between 17:30 and 18:30, ending your adventure with unforgettable safari memories
