The Pilansberg is great for Fauna & Flora.We always have good animal & bird sightings.
The condition of many of the roads is appalling and not comfortable in a normal sedan vehicle.
The Camping facilities at Bakgatla are adequate with good shade but not much grass.
However,the Chalet we used was terrible. R10k for three nights - the Aircon didn't work at all(in 37deg heat),the Stove didn't work.The Tap on the sink was literally falling off.The Fridge wasn't very efficient.
No Shower and the bath was designed for a midget & it was dirty because the surface was badly stained.
One toilet for five people - not good enough for R3k a night.

Ivory Tree lodge is like an oasis in the bush. A very chilled out place to stay. Great open spaces to lounge and relax. Excellent friendly hotel staff and very knowledgeable game rangers. Overall an amazing experience 😀

The staff and service were amazing.
The staff and service were amazing. Always helpful and polite. The manager Karel was also very helpful and went out of his way to please us. He took us on some amazing game drives.
The hotel is old and tired and the rooms are dirty. The mats by the bed were filthy and torn as well as the mat in the bathroom which also needed a clean.
The food was very average and we were also served left overs on one of the days we were there. Unless there is an upgrade to the premises I cannot see us going back anytime soon

Once one we were in the sanctuary of the Black Rhino Lodge, all was fantastic. Getting there and back by road was unpleasant. The surrounding areas are poverty stricken and the roads in a poor state.
Unforunately, there is no longer an airport in the area.

Although the roads aren't in the best shape, it helps one to drive slowly, to enjoy the bush and all it has to offer. The "Friends of Pilansberg" try very hard to maintain the roads. The "Bush" takes care of the rest!!
The design, location and privacy of these villas is five star. With a heated pool on the most amazing patio overlooking the Pilansberg we were able to relax in complete privacy, even seeing a hippo in the small dam in front of the unit. We also loved that we could walk within the resort (something not really safe to do in other bush villas) and make use of the resorts lively amenities … the restaurant, tennis courts, gym, boma, game drives ect. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
The staff was largely superb, although not everyone speaks fluent English.
Breakfast is a high point: each day is different, and dietary restrictions are requested and followed (e.g. one can ask for no beef, no pork, etc.)
Some rooms are in separate apartments near the swimming pool.
Bathrooms are large w/ large showers.
Near Pilansberg Park and Sun City.
Extra secure entrance to room w/ locking gate as well as door.
Refrigerator and coffee materials in room. Air conditioning.
Love the staff! Everyone is so friendly, from the moment we entered the hotel to the moment we checked out. Very thoughtful people. Restaurant staff are lovely - food was amazing! The safaris are out of this world - our guide, Freedom, was awesome. We saw the Big 4 out of 5 on our safari. And despite coming in winter, the room was incredibly well insulated! Loved it!
The hotel room is quite and clean sitting in the private bushland. Staff there made our stay very welcoming, the Safari guide Freedom is excellent in knowledge and skills sharing with us, and he is a caring person, striving to make our trip well organised in every thing. House keeping team done a good job too.
This is my second visit here in just under a year and I live in Australia so you know this place is very special. The accommodation is perfect, the staff are amazing and the food is divine. The game in the national park is incredible and the hotels highly experienced rangers help you really appreciate it.
Great location - part of the Pilansberg and very close to Sun City. Beautiful unspoilt bush. The room is large and spacious and clean. comfortable bed and lovely patio to relax on. Awesome that my kids each had a bed to sleep on, not the usual pull-out mattress. Food was great!
Very well located: close to Joburg and at the entrance of the game reserve, very easy and comfortable to reach. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, food was excellent. our ranger was very knowledable and acessible. All in all, avery pleasant and relaxing experience.
Everything especially the facilities, 5 star. Excellent game rangers and hotel staff. Great shuttle service to ferry guests within the lodge. Great wi fi in the rooms and throughout the lodge. Excellent game viewing experience with The Big Five.
What a stunning hotel! A lot of thoughtful touches (snacks during safari), chocolates on the bed and a wonderful (pre-arranged) romantic set up to celebrate our anniversary. We enjoyed the spa, safari and the staff were top notch!
Staff was outstanding. Even got lucky and had a private safari morning ride. Room was insane and luxurious! This place was epic. Here is a video. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpBSuHko1jT/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
