Embark on an unforgettable 4-day safari at Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge, nestled in the heart of Pilanesberg National Park. Just a two-hour drive from Johannesburg, this malaria-free Big 5 reserve offers an exclusive experience in a private-use zone of the park.
Your journey begins with a scenic road transfer from Johannesburg to Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge in Pilanesberg National Park. After a warm welcome and check-in to your Standard Room, you'll head out on your first afternoon game drive with expert rangers. Return to the lodge for dinner and unwind under the stars by the fire pit.
Start the day with an early morning game drive, followed by a hearty breakfast. Enjoy the rest of the morning at your leisure—relax at the pool or book an optional spa treatment. After lunch and high tea, head out for another safari. End the day with a delicious dinner and a peaceful evening in the bush.
After an optional morning game drive and breakfast, take a guided 4-hour tour of Lesedi Cultural Village (entrance fee excluded), where you’ll explore South Africa’s diverse cultures. Return to the lodge for high tea, then enjoy your final game drive. Wrap up the day with a memorable dinner, perhaps in the outdoor boma.
Enjoy one last early game drive before breakfast. After check-out, begin your return road transfer to Johannesburg, bringing home unforgettable memories of your safari and cultural experience.

Great experience planning our trip
We have just finished finalizing our trip with safari.com. Our agent was Nerine Du Plessis. She made our planning so easy. All our questions and concerns were answered in such a timely manner. We gave her our wishes and she came back to us with a very exciting itinerary. Now just have to wait until we get to do our safari.

Last minute booking
We are living abroad in Australia, heading on a last minute trip to South Africa. We reached out to Safari.com and were allocated Nerine Du Plessis as our consultant. Nerine was so great in helping us to organise this trip with only 5 weeks until departure/arrival in South Africa. Nerine has been incredibly prompt in her responses, articulate in the requirements and easy to communicate with. So far, we can't fault our experience.
