About Pilanesberg
A wildlife park like no other
Introducing Pilanesburg
Imagine the eroded remains of an extinct volcano nestled between the Kalahari desert and the Low veldt not far from South Africa’s border with Botswana; imagine a landscape of rocky outcrops, wooded valleys and rolling grasslands – the perfect habitat for the rarest and most varied of South Africa’s wildlife; imagine a malaria free game reserve protected by the internationally renowned conservation values of Operation Genesis; imagine all of this, only two hours’ drive from Johannesburg.
Imagine Pilanesberg, at only 220 square miles, one of South Africa’s most intimate and beautiful wildlife parks.
Make your imagination come to life with Savannah Safaris
Savannah Safari Lodge
Guests are treated to exclusive use of a lodge for their vacation – luxurious accommodation in gated seclusion.
Tucked away in the northwest corner of the Black Rhino Reserve within the Pilanesberg National Park, the design of Savannah Safaris’ lodge, with its subdued colours, natural materials, and thoughtfully luxurious touches, is in perfect harmony with the beautiful landscape in which it sits. Each of the four well-equipped private chalets has a fully glazed gable wall offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the sense of seclusion here makes it impossible to believe that the amenities of Sun City are within convenient reach, only thirty kilometres away.
Come and see this beautiful lodge!
