Flight Cape Town Airport to Lanseria Airport (+/- 2 hrs) Pilanesberg Late Morning to Sunset Safari

Catch your included early flight from Cape Town to Lanseria Airport, a 90-minute drive from Pilanesberg Game Reserve (625 sq kms). Journey with our expert guide through one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and past the world's richest platinum mines in a landscape created eons ago to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, situated inside the remains of a 2 billion-year-old volcano.
Pilanesberg has thousands of all the iconic animals of Africa, including the Big 5 roaming free.

Our unique, private, extended game drives in our 4x4 SUVs go further into the park than the open safari vehicles which are usually only 3 hours and shared with others. On our private extended drives, we get out and walk at waterholes dams and protected viewing points as you wish and this means unimpeded 'no heads in the way' photography both in and out of the vehicle.

During the drive we will have lunch on the scenic open dining terrace of Bakubung Lodge overlooking the game reserve and nearby waterhole.

Pilanesberg Dawn to Late Lunch Safari, Return to Lanseria Airport and Catch flight back to Cape Town

Arise early and depart for Pilanesberg Reserve with a packed picnic breakfast supplied by the hotel for another magnificent day on safari. At one of the many viewpoints and hides you will stop to stretch your legs and have your picnic breakfast. View crocs and hippos in and out of the water, other animals coming to drink and many birds. It is all about giving you the maximum opportunity to have a memorable and enjoyable safari within your time frame. Our freer format with our private SUV and guide is the best way to do this. It is more manoeverable for the best photo angles and there are "no excuse mes" to get heads out of the way

You cannot predict what animals you will see as this is a wild place, and the animals roam free and the big cats hunt everywhere.

You will have another lunch and a rest in front of a waterhole, watching the animals come and go. You will depart the reserve at about 3:00 pm for Lanseria Airport to catch flight back to Cape Town.
