We had the opportunity to spend a whole week in Pilanesberg private lodge just before Christmas. The early morning drives are splendid, but require also an early rise. Mealtimes seem odd but are adjusted to accommodate the game drives; all in all you spend around 6 hours a day spotting game. Meals are innovative and offer a choice between local... More

We stayed in Pilanesberg Private Lodge in January for three nights and it was a wonderful experience from our arrival to departure. We were the only couple there for the first night which was such a treat but as more guests arrived it was fun exchanging stories and meeting others. The highlight of our stay was undoubtably the game drives... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in July 2012 and everything was just wonderful. Our lodge was very large and comfortable.All the staff were very friendly and they made us all feel very welcome.The food was excellent. We went on 4 safari`s all of which were outstanding. I would highly recommend this wonderful reserve.

This small lodge is superb. It is south-facing and looks onto the Pilanesberg hills and a waterhole so for photography (by day and night) it is excellent. We stayed for 3 nights and the food and service were 5-star and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. We went on our first walking safari with Jeandre (Nare Walking Safaris) and had... More
