Today it’s safari time! After breakfast at Sun City you’ll be driven to the Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge in Pilanesberg National Park, a 20 minute journey.

Located on the slopes of an ancient volcano, Pilanesberg National Park offers excellent wildlife viewing with a stunningly scenic backdrop. Elephant and white rhino are common, as are giraffe, hippo, zebra and numerous antelope species. Keep your eyes peeled as there’s a good chance to see lion and hyena, and, if you’re fortunate, leopard, cheetah and buffalo.

Your stay at Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge includes one game drive into the reserve each day, but you can pre-book additional game drives before you travel.

There’s also a swimming pool at the lodge, animal hide, mini-golf, children’s playground, cocktail lounge and bar.
