Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from Johannesburg between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM in a luxury, air-conditioned vehicle. Arrive at Pilanesberg around 9 AM and head straight into a 3-hour morning game drive in an open safari vehicle—perfect for spotting elephants, lions, and more. By midday, you’ll arrive at the luxurious 5-star Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge for a mouth-watering lunch and seamless check-in. Spend the early afternoon relaxing by the pool, soaking in the breathtaking views, or treating yourself to a rejuvenating spa session. At 4 PM, leave on a 3-hour sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle, capturing unforgettable wildlife moments as the sun dips over the savannah. Return to the lodge for a sumptuous dinner at the restaurant—or enjoy a traditional boma dinner under the stars, weather permitting.
