On our arrival at the park, we would do a game drive for about 3 hours with our closed vehicle. After lunch time, we will check in at our lodge. After checking in at our lodge, you will have free time to relax. In the late afternoon, you'll participate in the sunset game drive with an open safari vehicle in the greater Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve covers 55.000 hectares and is surrounded by a mountain which has been formed by a volcanic eruption a million years ago. It is the fourth biggest park in South Africa and it is the home of the Big Five. Pilanesberg is located between two vegetation types which are dry Kalahari and the Lowveld vegetation which makes it a great habitat for many different types of animals.
