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.
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 property is beautiful, very clean , The location is excellent! The food was amazing !
The staff were all super friendly and made us all feel very comfortable and welcome at all times.
A special thanks to Alex for some really good game trips he is so knowledgeable and I can certainly say he is absolutely one of the best game rangers we have ever had in Pilansberg and to Amos for getting to know us all by name and always striving to give us 5 star service on the restaurant side. We will certainly be back soon.
The staff is incredible! So attentive, kind and sweet. Always willing to help and assist with anything.
The food was exceptional and so were the facilities.
Perfectly cleaned rooms, beautiful location.
But the biggest highlight for us was our ranger for the game drives, Oratile Junior.
The sweetest and kindest guy! He showed us the pilanesberg national park with so much knowledge, passion and excitement for the animals and the habitat that we couldn’t not fall in love with Shepherds Tree Game Reserve!
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.
The breakfast was on par with most hotels, guest houses. I enjoyed the peacefulness and no rushing of all things.
Game drives were well organised and informative. The park was a pleasure to drive through even if we did not see some animals we would have liked to see. The staff we all very helpful and willing to go the extra mile.
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.
The way that the rooms are set up is really stunning - you get all of the benefits of a hotel without feeling any of the pressure or presence of people. The staff are so friendly and helpful, everywhere we looked there was someone with a smile looking to make sure you were having a good time.
It was beautiful! Artistic luxury and tastefully furnished! the staff were friendly, kind and amazing. As a solo traveler, I never felt like I was alone! The Safari drives were amazing as well and I saw 3 out of the big 5! generally happy and I hope to visit again!
The private lodge in the Pilansberg - with local staff - who strive for excellence makes your stay better than most - add in cuisine and a game ranger named Sydney - whose knowledge and attentiveness surpasses the norm - this then makes your stay amazing.
We did have some very good game viewings (but very busy in the the Pilansberg game park)
The room was fairly comfortable (we were in a junior suite) and they did at least make up the bunk bed for my 6 year old to sleep on as they dont supply extra beds.
located in the Pilansberg game reserve is remote from the hustle and bustle of city life, but close enough to drive (2hours from Pretoria).
The lodge is well maintained and the staff are very helpful and courteous
Stunning location in the Pilansberg National Park.
Privacy of Lodges.
