Staying in a Private Safari Lodge

Most lodges offer a fully inclusive rate, which includes outstanding accommodation, all meals, and morning and afternoon guided game drives in 4x4 open safari vehicles each day. Some may also include unlimited drinks or other activities such as guided walks.

Self-Drive Options

There are a couple of lodges in Pilanesberg that offer just dinner, bed & breakfast (DBB) for those intending to self-drive in the Park, and they also offer 2 hour guided game drives (at an additional cost) into the Park. To read more about self-drive safaris, please click here.

The Addo Elephant National Park is ideal for those wanting to do a self-drive safari in the Eastern Cape.

Guided Day Trips

Several of the lodges in the Eastern Cape (Shamwari, Amakhala and Kariega) also offer day visitor programmes for people staying overnight in Port Elizabeth or at other accommodation in the area, who are on a tight time schedule or budget but who still want to experience a safari, albeit it only for a few hours.

For those staying in Sun City, a guided 3 hour morning or sunset game drive into Pilanesberg can be booked from the Welcome Centre.
