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.
