Find Hotels in Pilanesberg, South Africa

Safaris were well organised in a small jeep with a maximum of 9 people. We were with the same group and guide throughout. Our guide Cathy was very knowledgable and had a brilliant knack of finding the animals at close quarters. Accommodation was in separate huts which were fabulous. Food was plentiful and good quality. Pilanesberg is awesome and the experience is well worth the money.

The Resort offers relaxing vibe , had Picnic outside our room and the kids had plenty of space to play. Their Water Splash was the best thing ever happens to us ... Felt like “ Big Babies “ I will recommend this place to couples who want to relax and families who was to explore around Sun City and Pilanesberg...!

Incredible stay at Kwa Maritane. In planning the trip we chose to do our safari at Pilanesberg rather than Kruger because accommodation seemed more reasonable and we were right. This lodge was absolutely amazing. We got upgraded to an executive suite, which pulled out all the stops. The food was incredible- breakfast and dinner buffets included in stay. I was expecting easy food for the buffets, but was left very impressed with how fancy both were. At dinner one night we were joined by a group of four elephants who came to the watering hole right by the restaurant. Dinner included lamb, fish, and many more options. We even got lucky that we were there on a Wednesday and could partake in the bush brai under the stars- another incredible experience. The game drives are beyond imagination- the guides are so helpful and we were able to see lions (an entire pride devouring an antelope) a family of elephants, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, impalas, kudu, and more. Highly recommend!

You first notice the staff are very welcoming. The rooms are wonderful and very well provided with robes, toiletries, refreshments. Don’t forget the waterhole cam channel on the TV. Buffet food for breakfast and dinner - exceptional choice and quality. But the highlight is the amazing bush drives - three hours of intoxicating drives through the beautiful Pilanesberg park with knowledgeable guides and amazing animals. We saw four of the big five plus countless others. My highlight was the elephants walking up the road right in front of us. Awesome.

My boyfriend and I just spent two nights at Tambuti Lodge last week. I've been on two safaris previously in Sabi Sands, and Tambuti Lodge (though being far less expensive than Sabi Sands) exceeded every expectation of what a South African safari could be!! From the incredible service to the fabulous meals (including a private dinner beautifully served in our room) to the amazing animal sightings (hello, lions, elephants, cheetahs, brown hyenas and more!), it was just an absolutely incredible trip. Plus it was incredibly low hassle - no planes or pills needed. It's easily accessible from Johannesburg (use Rhino Shuttles for private transport if you're uncomfortable driving yourselves) and malaria-free. I'd recommend this lodge to anyone - family, business traveler, couple, solo traveler. It's truly incredible!!

Set inside the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, this beautiful resort offers 2 three-hour-long game drives a day, luxury meals, open bar, and friendly staff. You are in the park in the morning before any of the outside visitors can arrive, and get to stay in the park in the evenings when everyone else has to go home. We saw lion, jaguar, cheetah, elephant, rhino, hippo, jackal, wild dogs, warthog, monkey, baboon, zebra, giraffe, impala, hartebeest, kudu, hydrax, turtle, and more than a dozen kinds of birds. Many of the large animals crossed the road in front of us, giving a fantastic experience and great pictures.

Black Rhino is a lovely example of an African game lodge, very clean and comfortable and well located in its private reserve but adjacent to the beautiful Pilanesberg reserve. The staff are the highlight of the show though providing service with a constant smile.

I went to Pretoria for a visit to en embassy, so I decided to have a short tour into Pilanesberg National park which is really worthwhile if you have not much time. Me and my boyfriend have spent two nights in Morokolo Game Lodge. Jacqui organized perfectly every detail of our trip, included the transfer from our hotel in Pretoria to Morokolo Game Lodge. Transfer by car was payable and took more or less 2.5 hours. Once reached Pilanesberg we entered into Black Rhino Game Reserve, which is a restricted area of Pilanesberg reserved to guests who are lodged into one of the lodges of the reserve. We had two game drives per day, one in the early morning, one in the evening (which is partially a kind of night game drive for 15 minutes). Our guide Rian was nice, friendly and full of knowledge. Our room at Morokolo Game Lodge was just fantastic! Perfectly clean. Apart from a few expired drinks in the fridge, something that can happen anywhere, I can not really find anything to complain. The place was so quiet, really a wonderful place to leave behind stress of everyday life. The only noises were the birds sounds. There was a swimming pool which we did not use, but used the Jacuzzi which was prepared just for us, with some flowers inside. It was very romantic to use it under the African starry sky. Meals were served in a separate lodge which is just 2 minutes by car. I would strongly recommend Morokolo Game Lodge to anyone and would be really happy to go back.

We stayed at 3 private safari lodges during our first trip to south africa. This one was the best in terms of value (we payed 260€ per night) by far. The rooms are amazing with a balcony, an indoor bathtub and an outdoor shower, all overlooking the bush. Besides they are super new, luxurious and spotlessly clean. Service is great too. In terms of safari: We saw some elefants at the waterwhole in front of the pool. On the 2 game drives we did we were happy since it was our first game drives ever, and the guides were great. However the game drives we had at other places later during the trip were more rewarding in terms of animal density. But that may have been a matter of luck. Overall, we would recommend any couple, especially on honeymoon, to not miss this lodge, for us it was the best say we had!

it was overall okay to bad. we struggled to get in on friday everning at 8pm, then we were again locked out at 12am after visiting suncity for the evening. my partner had to jump over the fence after waiting for 45mins outside the gate. then again got locked out on sat afternoon at 2pm, staff was not home, had to wait another 30 mins to get in.

Great stay, Its away from the entertainment area, works out if you want that peace and quiet. The Breakfast was fresh, not much of a variety as the other hotel's breakfast buffet. Pick up zone needs a bit help, we used our car a lot.
