Johannesburg, Pilanesberg and Madikwe in 6 days (5 nights)
A city and bush pairing that stays on the road. One night in Johannesburg follows the long-haul arrival, then a road transfer reaches Pilanesberg, a reserve set in an old volcanic crater, for two nights of game drives with the Sun City resort nearby. On the third morning a further transfer goes on to Madikwe near the Botswana border for two nights of guided drives, where wild dog are often seen alongside the larger game. The trip ends with a road transfer back to Johannesburg.
The route, stop by stop
1. Johannesburg, South Africa · 1 night
A night in the city after the international flight means the first game drive does not follow straight on from the journey.
2. Sun City / Pilanesberg, South Africa · 2 nights
The closest Big Five reserve to Johannesburg, set in a volcanic crater, with the Sun City resort next door.
3. Madikwe, South Africa · 2 nights
A quieter reserve where game viewing is by guided drive only, and wild dog are regularly seen. It is a contrast to the busier Pilanesberg.
