The Manyane Resort is situated on the outskirts of the Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa’s North West Province. Manyane Resort is approximately two hours drive from Johannesburg. The resort is about ten minutes from the Sun City entrance.

The Manyane Resort is close to the Manyane entrance gate, which allows access to the malaria-free Pilanesberg. There is a rich diversity of animal and avian life to be discovered in this area. Manyane Resort offers a wide range of amenities despite being situated in the heart of the Bushveld.

The resort offers exceptional accommodations in the form of chalets and tents, as well as caravanning and camping facilities that are fully equipped.

Manyane is a Golden Leopard Resort and offers a variety of amusement options for guests to enjoy, ranging from miniature golf to swimming pools. However, the spectacular wildlife of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve remains the main draw, as it is at the majority of the region’s game lodges.

The resort offers a variety of lodging options, some of which are specifically designed for families and small groups of friends. Accommodation options include self-catering and non-catering options, as well as camping and caravan sites.

The game reserve, which was established in a crater of a long-dormant volcano created by eruptions around 1300 million years ago, is now home to a diverse range of wild species, including the “Big 5”. The Pilanesberg has evidence of early human settlement in the form of a large number of Stone Age and Iron Age sites scattered throughout the area.

In this transition zone, which lies between the arid Kalahari and the wetter Lowveld, mammals, birds, and flora from various biomes coexist. Animals found in desert areas, such as springbok, hartebeest, and brown hyena, coexist with residents of more moist areas, such as impala, providing a diverse range of species for guests staying at Manyane to observe.

Hills, the caldera’s high edge, forested ravines, the bushveld, and rolling meadows are just a few of the topographical features that contribute to the area’s breathtaking beauty.

Manyane offers a variety of lodging options, including safari tents, chalets with one bedroom that sleep two people, chalets with one bedroom and an above loft room that sleeps four people. There is also a caravan and camping park nearby. 

There is an attractive aviary filled with indigenous birds, as well as a restaurant, a swimming pool, and a playground for children. 

Guests can either drive themselves around Pilanesberg National Park or book a spot on one of the park’s guided game drives in advance.

There are two large swimming pools as well as a playground specifically designed for children. Manyane is a well-known lodge where guests can stay for one or two weeks at a time.

Activities

Hiking trails begin in the early morning and are led by an experienced guide, while game drives begin in the early morning and end in the late afternoon. 

During game drives in open safari vehicles, close encounters with lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo are possible. A plethora of game, including rare species such as wild dogs and cheetahs, joins the Big 5.

In the boma, tribal dance groups can be formed.

A hot air balloon ride over Pilanesberg National Park is a meditative experience. There will be no turbulence, and the only sound will be the burner occasionally firing.

Exploring the bush on foot will provide a more intense experience in many ways. With your knowledgeable guide, you will learn the details that make Pilanesberg’s unique environment work.

Quad Bikes – A quad bike is a great way to get around in rough terrain. Quad bike tours are led by knowledgeable guides and are suitable for even inexperienced riders. Experience the rush of racing through breathtaking scenery with the wind in your face.

Archery – Try out this ancient sport. Archery is a sport that requires accuracy and focus. The guides will show you how to maximise the power of the bow.

Birding Safaris – To believe the diversity of birdlife in Southern Africa, you must see it for yourself. Bring binoculars and a camera to see some of the over 300 bird species found in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. The large raptors are fascinating, but the detail and colour of the smaller species are equally so.

Photographic Safaris – game vehicles designed specifically to photograph African animals. The rangers and guides are not only knowledgeable about the fauna and flora, but they are also avid photographers eager to assist you in capturing the perfect shot.
