Your journey kicks off with a comfortable pickup from Johannesburg between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle. Reach Pilanesberg around 9 AM and plunge into a 3-hour morning game drive in an open safari vehicle—ideal for eyeing elephants, lions, and more! By midday, arrive at the lavish 5-star Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge for a mouth-watering lunch and seamless check-in. Unwind by the pool, soak up the breath-taking scenery, or book a pampering session at the world-class spa. Later, depart on a 3-hour sunset game drive from 4 PM to 7 PM in an open safari vehicle, capturing wildlife wonders against vibrant sunsets. Return for a sumptuous dinner at the lodge’s restaurant or boma (weather permitting).
