Day 1

Johannesburg/Pretoria to Pilanesberg Game Reserve

This tour begins with an early morning pickup from Johannesburg or Pretoria, which varies based on your location and traffic. The drive to Pilanesberg Game Reserve takes between 2-4 hours depending on where you are picked up from. Upon arrival at the reserve, guests embark on a 2.5 to 3-hour game drive in a closed tour vehicle, with the length of the drive depending on any exciting animal sightings.

A lunch break is taken between 12h00 and 13h00 at Pilanesberg Centre, where guests can enjoy a light lunch and beverages at their own expense while overlooking a large waterhole. After lunch, guests are taken to Manyane Resort to check-in and drop off their bags.

In the afternoon, guests meet their guide for an open safari vehicle tour, lasting 2.5 to 3 hours depending on what they see. After the game drive, guests return to the resort to freshen up before dinner, which is prepared by their guide.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve - (Sun City) Johannesburg/Pretoria

This tour begins with an early morning wake-up call for hot beverages and rusks before departing on a 2.5 to 3-hour sunrise game drive in an open safari vehicle. The length of the drive depends on animal sightings and how long guests choose to stop at each one.

At 11h00, guests leave the resort for their final game drive in a closed tour vehicle. A stop is made at midday for lunch and refreshments at Pilanesberg Centre, with expenses at the guests' own account. The tour then leaves the game reserve for the return journey to Johannesburg, arriving back in the city between 17h30 and 18h30, depending on traffic and drop-off locations.

Guests have the option of visiting Sun City for a quick 2-hour visit instead of an extended mid-day game drive. This option involves leaving the resort at 11h00 and driving through the game reserve for about 30-40 minutes to reach Sun City.
