aha Ivory Tree Game Lodge is found in a remote corner of Pilanesberg in a private concession. Access to the area is restricted to paying guests but you’re free to explore the rest of the reserve in open safari vehicles. There’s a wide choice of activities to keep everyone busy between game drives, including fun entertainment in the evenings at the outdoor boma.
Before the drive back to Johannesburg, you have the option of a game drive in a closed tour vehicle in Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
