An early wake-up call sets the stage for one of the most exciting parts of your trip: a morning game drive in the magnificent Pilanesberg National Park. As the sun rises over the bushveld, the animals are at their most active — and this is the best time to spot them. With luck, you may encounter elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffes, zebras, and more, all in their natural habitat.

The drive lasts around 3 to 5 hours, with a break for fresh coffee and light refreshments out in the reserve. Your experienced ranger will guide the drive, tracking wildlife and sharing insights about the animals and the ecosystem.

After the safari, you’ll return to the lodge for a well-earned, sumptuous breakfast — a perfect end to a morning of unforgettable sights and sounds in the wild.
