After checking in and freshening up, the rest of the day is yours to settle in. Johannesburg greets you as a city of art, culture, and evolving energy. You overnight in Johannesburg.
After breakfast, you embark on a guided Johannesburg city orientation tour. You pass through Rosebank and Houghton, where Nelson Mandela spent his last days, then drive past Constitutional Hill and the Mandela Bridge. The tour takes you through Newtown’s street art, Mary Fitzgerald Square, and the creative hub of Maboneng. Later, you visit Lesedi Cultural Village, where you explore Zulu, Xhosa, and Pedi homesteads, learn about traditions and dowries paid in cows, and enjoy an electrifying multi‑cultural dance show. Lunch is included before you return to your hotel for another overnight in Johannesburg.
Following breakfast and check‑out, you are transferred privately to your lodge inside Pilanesberg National Park. After checking in and lunch, you head out for an afternoon safari game drive in an open vehicle. The extinct volcanic crater reveals pristine bush, and you may come face to face with Africa’s Big Five. Return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay in Pilanesberg.
Your day begins with a morning game drive as the bush awakens. Back at the lodge, you enjoy breakfast and lunch before setting off on another afternoon safari game drive. With both drives, every sighting feels personal. Dinner is at the lodge, followed by a second overnight in Pilanesberg.
A final morning game drive starts your day. After breakfast and check‑out, you transfer to Sun City. The rest of the day is free to explore this famous resort on your own.
