Just a 2,5 to 3,5 hour drive from Johannesburg this lodge is set on Black Rhino Game Reserve – a private concession within the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park.

Traversing rights over the 55 00ha (135 000ac) assures guests an intimate – and unique – safari experience, with the chance to see all of the Big Five and the endangered African wild dog.
