Four days of bushveld adventure from Sundown

Stay for three nights at Sundown Country Estate, a relaxed, budget-friendly lodge-style base near Pilanesberg and Sun City. This four-day safari combines a quadbike outing on arrival with six guided open-vehicle game drives in Pilanesberg National Park.

Explore a malaria-free reserve shaped by an ancient volcanic crater, where elephants, rhinos, lions and many other animals move through hills, grasslands and woodland. The Big Five live here, but no wildlife sighting is guaranteed. Sundown is outside the national park; your included safari transfers connect the estate with the reserve.

A lodge base with space to unwind

Between outings, enjoy Sundown’s pool, gardens and lodge facilities. Settle into comfortable air-conditioned accommodation and recharge over the meals listed in your programme. Spa treatments, bush walks, hiking, archery, water-park visits and other activities are optional extras subject to availability.

One quadbike safari and six open-vehicle drives

Begin with a quadbike outing around 09:30–11:30 on Day 1, followed by lunch and time to relax before a sunset game drive. Days 2 and 3 each include sunrise and sunset drives, with breakfast, lunch and leisure time in between. A final sunrise safari on Day 4 completes six approximately three-hour outings in shared open safari vehicles with a planned capacity of ten guests.

Return for breakfast, check out and leave for Johannesburg around noon. Any further quadbike outing or bush walk on departure day is optional and paid separately. All timings are approximate and depend on traffic, weather and operating arrangements.

Price and included services

US$990 per person sharing. The existing minimum of two travellers applies. Included are return air-conditioned transfers, three Sundown nights, one quadbike safari, six open-vehicle drives, the Pilanesberg conservation levy, three breakfasts, three lunches and three dinners.

All beverages, flights, gratuities, personal purchases, meals not listed and additional activities are excluded. Accommodation is subject to availability. OR Tambo or hotel collection is confirmed in advance; send your flight details before arranging an airport connection.
