Pilanesberg National Park
Your day begins with an early morning pickup from Johannesburg in an air-conditioned vehicle, with a comfort stop along the way during the 2 to 2.5-hour drive to Pilanesberg National Park. Upon arrival at 9:00 AM, you'll set off on a thrilling 3-hour morning game drive in a premium open safari vehicle, guided by expert rangers who use radio communication to track the Big Five and other wildlife.
After your safari, head to Tlou Tented Safari Camp—just 4 km from the park gate—where you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch and check in to your en-suite tent. Spend the early afternoon relaxing in your tent or cooling off by the pool, surrounded by the sounds of the bush.
As the afternoon fades, embark on a sunset game drive in our top-tier open safari vehicles, designed for outstanding visibility during the golden hours of the day. Return to camp for an authentic South African boma dinner under the stars, featuring classic dishes like braai meats, bobotie, and hearty stews.
