The Gems of Africa Safari & Tours Team took a domestic flight with Safair from Cape Town to the Lanseria Airport, Johannesburg. We hired a vehicle, which went quite smooth, and drove through to the very popular BIG 5 Pilanesberg National Park.
Guests come to Pilanesberg National Park to enjoy the untamed African landscape. Here the Big 5 roam free. The the mixture of Lowveld and Kalahari vegetation ensure a lush environment for the wildlife to thrive.
The park is also popular because there’s a variety of accommodation options available.
We were able to stay at 4 different lodges in Pilanesberg National Park located all over the park. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4 Star Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge including the delicious food, exciting game drives, spacious suite and friendly staff.
Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge:
Located in the Pilanesberg National Park, on the slopes of a 2-billion-year-old volcano, is home to Africa’s big five. Relax by the pool, head out for a late afternoon game drive and then enjoy dinner in our wonderful restaurant. On Wednesdays and Saturdays enjoy our bush boma, under the African stars.
Kwa Maritane, or “Place of the Rock” offers unparalleled comfort, in a malaria free area, less than two hours from Johannesburg.
Unwind at Kwa Maritane Spa to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul in the peaceful setting of the bushveld. Indulge with treatments such as Thabayadiotso, our signature treatment, or pamper yourself with a pedicure while watching the game on the plains.
Pilanesberg National Park is in close proximity to several major cities and airports and the park is close enough for a day visit from Johannesburg. Just 3 hours’ drive and you’ll be surrounded by wildlife and nature!
Next to the park is the Sun City resort and casino. Here kids enjoy the Valley of Waves and Waterworld. Golfers can get their fix at the Gary Player Country Club.
At Pilanesberg National Park you can spot leopards, rhinos, elephants, lions, Cape buffaloes, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, hippos, hyenas crocodiles and the Cape wild dog. In addition, impala, kudu, antelope, bontebok, blesbuck, and nyala graze over the plains.
There’s also an abundance of birdlife as more than 360 species have been sighted here.
