The Pilanesberg National Park is one of the most popular, natural and protected wildlife reserves in South Africa. It spans over an area of 55,000 hectares bounded by an extinct volcano crater.
The park stands as one of the main tourist attractions in the province of the North West due to its close proximity to Johannesburg and the fact that it is a malaria free environment. The Pilanesberg is well known for its exceptional richness of wildlife and includes a diverse landscape and varying ecosystems.
What wild animals can you expect to see in the Pilanesberg?
You’ll be able to find, among many other species, all five members of the so-called “big five”: elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos (black) and the Cape Buffalo.

What the 3 day Luxury Pilanesberg Safari tour is about?
This is the perfect getaway if you are looking at combining luxury accommodation with a truly authentic South African safari. Enjoy 3 days/2 nights in the luxurious Kwa Maritane Bush lodge situated on the edge of the famous Pilanesberg National Park.
The tour is a mixture of luxury, delicious buffet meals, open air safari drives and relaxation. Enjoy complimentary hotel pick ups and transfers to the lodge.
All meals and activities are included. We have included 4x 3 hour game drives in an open air game vechile with the lodge ranger. The drives are done in the early morning and later afternoon.
This is the best time to view the wild animals as it is a cooler and increases the chances of seeing predators like lions who do not like the heat. This also gives you some free time during the game drives to chill by the pool, pamper yourself in the Spa or relax in one of the lodges lounges with a cool beer.
