Shepards Tree is a great bush break option close to JHB. The rooms are lovely and the staff friendly. The pool area is really nice and the lodge is very accommodating to families. The guides are knowledgeable and the park has the BIG 5 for game viewing.
The food options daily were really good as well

Tambuti is the best accommodation experience I think I've ever had. Better than any 4* or 5* hotel that I've stayed at, so truly exceptional. The warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness and care - all were just wonderful. Plus we had tremendous food and drink, a beautiful building and location, and a marvellous guided safari experience. Very intimate (just 5 suites) and outstanding in every respect.

Tshukudu Bush Lodge, set in the malaria-free Pilansburg National Park, overlooks a waterhole and is home to Africa’s Big 5 game. It features a plunge pool and spa treatments can be arranged.

Tshukudu has to be seen to be believed. It is phenomenal. I have safari’d all over Africa, and I have never come across a place as special as this. Please do not change a thing. It really is a rare gem to find a lodge so luxurious, but pure in its simplicity yet luxury.
From the moment we arrived, staff could not do enough to help us. They were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The whole experience has just been exceptional. It is so rare to find a lodge so pure, that has not sold out to tourists demands for spas and gyms, yet still remain luxurious and comfortable.
Pilanesberg is so beautiful - the animals are wild, not like many parks such as Kruger or the Maasai Mara where the animals have become so used to humans you can almost reach out and touch them. Here, there is still an element of having to seek out these amazing animals, and enjoy being in their presence.

Beautifully designed. Staff are attentive. Food is spectacular.
The chefs are incredible. Definitely one of my highlights. I’ve been to various game reserves (Madikwe, hoedspruit, Kruger, Dinokeng). I must say the food here for the size of the property they really took time with the food. Thanks David and Happy.
The game drives are an exploration of two reserves: the PM game drive is the smaller Black Rhino reserve (2hrs) only 1-2 Big 5, the AM is the Pilanesberg National Reserve (4hrs) which holds all of the big 5. It was raining a lot so we did r get to see a lot of animals unfortunately, but the elephants did come right up to the waterhole that was by the lodge, it was an amazing siting.
The rooms are even better in person, our curtains were motorised and there was a kill switch right next to the bed to turn off all the lights. A truly beautiful place

We were more than welcome to the Rhino Black game lodge and everything was perfect! We really enjoy all hospitality service and our two safari was a unique experience. We recommend that place for everyone, the room, the food , all services was more than great! Many thanks for your effort, smile and welcome!
Love the bush views from the stoep bed and tub. Food is as excellent as ever. Staff cannot be more than accommodating. Being partially disabled the extra length the staff went to accommodate my needs was exceptional. All in all will be back for my fourth stay at either ivory or shepherds lodges. Once again. Thank you for my short breaks unforgettable 🐾🙏
The experience at the hotel was amazing. They asked us in advance what we would like to eat and if we had any dietary restrictions! The hotel's breakfast is incredible with many options. I would like to mention our safari experience at the Game Lodge; we had two guides, Sibu and Helen, both very knowledgeable and skilled. They showed special attention to my pregnant wife.
An overall great experience with extremely friendly staff. Nice food mostly served at the table which added to the exclusive experience of the place. Really well equipped cabins with outdoor showers. My son very impressed with the wifi even if our cabin was located quite far away from the main building. Last but not least mostly great safari drives. We managed to get on five fine drives in total during our stay. Didn't get to see all of the big five though. But still an amazing experience for us being first time on a safari lodge.
Lush Private Game Lodge is simply stunning, the location, facilities and interior design are flawless. The staff are incredibly welcoming, polite and friendly, always putting guests first. You really do feel special. The game rides out are brilliant and the rangers are great, so knowledgeable and make the whole experience worth while. I would highly recommend this venue for people looking for that luxury experience for a safari break.
I am very happy that I linked a businesstrip to Johannesburg with a weekend stay at the game lodge. Very nice and comfortable acommodation. Good facilities and great safaris. Going out before 5 in the morning seeing the wildlife was just amazing. The afternoon drives was also very nice. Very good meals at the lodge with a view to a waterhole.
We had a great stay at the Black Rhino Game Lodge!
Everything was perfect: the location, staff, safaris and the food. Definitely a highlight of our trip in South Africa.
The lodge is great and the food on offer was really good with good variety of choice for all meals. The room was big and really comfortable and in warmer months the balcony and the outdoor shower would have been firm favourites. The game drives were a bonus as when I booked I hadn't actually expected them to be included as have stayed in other lodges here where they were an optional extra. The guides were great and even as frequent safari taker they had facts and information about the animals that were new to me which was really good.
fantastic location of the property next to the pond with hippos and other animals come to drink water there. Safari view right from your breakfast table. electric fence is all around so nothing to be scared in terms of safety.
Nice lodges rooms in the authentic style, with big windows, decor is good.
