A full day in the bush, with lunch over the fire
Spend the day exploring Pilanesberg’s wildlife-rich bushveld in a shared open safari vehicle, with time for both morning and afternoon sightings. Between drives, settle in for a traditional South African bush braai: a relaxed outdoor lunch with views over Mankwe Dam.
Your local guide leads the search for elephants, rhinos, giraffes, antelope and the park’s predators, explaining the landscapes and animal behaviour along the way. Guides use radio communication to share sightings, but wildlife encounters, including the Big Five, can never be guaranteed.
Morning wildlife, midday braai, afternoon exploring
The scheduled outing runs approximately 09:00–15:00 from Sun City or Manyane Gate. Enjoy around three hours of morning game viewing, followed by a one-hour lunch stop at Fish Eagle Picnic Site. Freshly grilled meats are served with pap, chakalaka, coleslaw and sides, alongside bottled water and refreshments.
After lunch, return to the park’s roads for approximately two more hours of wildlife viewing before your return transfer. The shared vehicle carries no more than ten passengers, keeping the outing sociable and small-group. Times and final pickup arrangements are confirmed for your departure.
Price and what is covered
US$200 per person sharing; US$280 for a solo traveller with the standard supplement. Your five hours of guided game driving, bush braai lunch, bottled water and refreshments, park entrance and conservation fees, and pickup and return from Sun City hotels or nearby lodges and guesthouses are included.
No accommodation or Johannesburg transfers are included. This is a full-day outing without an overnight stay. Let us know any dietary requirements when enquiring so suitable arrangements can be checked.
