From Johannesburg: Pilanesberg Nature Reserve Game Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,327 reviews · 12 hours · from $186Our pick

Review of the Pilanesberg day safari from Johannesburg, with Big Five sightings, open-vehicle drives, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“From Johannesburg it’s a really long journey there and back. But I felt it was worth every minute and every penny. The day in the park was brilliant and we saw three of the top five. We saw lots of other animals which certainly made up for it, we only comment is that at the back of the Jeep It is very windy and sometimes quite cold. I bought a souvenir hat at the first stop and was okay after that. If you get the chance, do go on this day trip. Worth every penny.”

“4 jours intenses à la recherche des BIGFIVE. Pick-up on time à Johannesburg.. arrêts prévus pour les pauses. Dès votre arrivée au lodge, l'accueil est chaleureux, on vous laisse 30 min pour découvrir votre logement et puis c'est le moment pour partir à la recherche d'animaux dans la savane. Le véhicule est ouvert. Le soir même, vous vivrez un braai fantastique et avec un peu de chance, vous entendrez les animaux mieux les voir (hyènes et éléphant pour notre part). En fin de repas, retour au logement pour la nuit. Le petit-déjeuner est simple mais suffisant, idem pour les repas, le choix est unique. Sachez qu'il n'y a pas de…”

Al Trevisana lodge abbiamo trovato stanze con bagno privato; il tutto molto pulito ed essenziale. C’era anche l’aria condizionata in camera e il necessario per l’igiene personale. Ci hanno accolto con professionalità ed entusiasmo le guide Terrence e Dylan .
