The game drives with Ntate Thomas Manyama were thee absolute highlight of my stay. Ntate Thomas is so knowledgeable,hospitable and friendly. I learned so much about the Pilanesberg reserve, its history,the animals and just life. He is a national treasure.

The Pilansberg is great for Fauna & Flora.We always have good animal & bird sightings.
The condition of many of the roads is appalling and not comfortable in a normal sedan vehicle.
The Camping facilities at Bakgatla are adequate with good shade but not much grass.
However,the Chalet we used was terrible. R10k for three nights - the Aircon didn't work at all(in 37deg heat),the Stove didn't work.The Tap on the sink was literally falling off.The Fridge wasn't very efficient.
No Shower and the bath was designed for a midget & it was dirty because the surface was badly stained.
One toilet for five people - not good enough for R3k a night.

Ivory Tree lodge is like an oasis in the bush. A very chilled out place to stay. Great open spaces to lounge and relax. Excellent friendly hotel staff and very knowledgeable game rangers. Overall an amazing experience 😀

The staff and service were amazing.
The staff and service were amazing. Always helpful and polite. The manager Karel was also very helpful and went out of his way to please us. He took us on some amazing game drives.
The hotel is old and tired and the rooms are dirty. The mats by the bed were filthy and torn as well as the mat in the bathroom which also needed a clean.
The food was very average and we were also served left overs on one of the days we were there. Unless there is an upgrade to the premises I cannot see us going back anytime soon

Once one we were in the sanctuary of the Black Rhino Lodge, all was fantastic. Getting there and back by road was unpleasant. The surrounding areas are poverty stricken and the roads in a poor state.
Unforunately, there is no longer an airport in the area.

Although the roads aren't in the best shape, it helps one to drive slowly, to enjoy the bush and all it has to offer. The "Friends of Pilansberg" try very hard to maintain the roads. The "Bush" takes care of the rest!!
The design, location and privacy of these villas is five star. With a heated pool on the most amazing patio overlooking the Pilansberg we were able to relax in complete privacy, even seeing a hippo in the small dam in front of the unit. We also loved that we could walk within the resort (something not really safe to do in other bush villas) and make use of the resorts lively amenities … the restaurant, tennis courts, gym, boma, game drives ect. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
The staff was largely superb, although not everyone speaks fluent English.
Breakfast is a high point: each day is different, and dietary restrictions are requested and followed (e.g. one can ask for no beef, no pork, etc.)
Some rooms are in separate apartments near the swimming pool.
Bathrooms are large w/ large showers.
Near Pilansberg Park and Sun City.
Extra secure entrance to room w/ locking gate as well as door.
Refrigerator and coffee materials in room. Air conditioning.
Everything was fantastic from the gamedrives to breakfast, lunch and dinners.
The room was beatiful
Poolarea really nice
A very exotic feeling of the whole resort.
Our gamedrive- Ranger Cliffort was totally fantastic and 100% devoted to his job and hobby. 11 out of 10 to him.
We saw lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos,giraffes and much more...
4/5 of the Big Five. Not Buffalo
I hope the management of the hotel takes good care of Ciffort as he is something extra
It lacked the polish I would expect for the price paid. On the day we arrived there was not enough food, the waiter service was poor. The rooms were large and the structure was spectacular but it looked empty due to the sparse furnishings. As a South African, this was not a cheap destination and I was hoping for more attention to detail from the staff and rooms. Reception staff were excellent and game drives were a great experience.
The setting was amazing, the hotel facilities were accurate and high standard. Best of all were the staff, they couldn't have done anymore for us and were particularly friendly and helpful with our baby. Thank you again, this was really appreciated.
Game drives were fantastic and didn't dissapoint. Food and coffees etc were very nice, including Saturday evening BBQ
The hotel room is quite and clean sitting in the private bushland. Staff there made our stay very welcoming, the Safari guide Freedom is excellent in knowledge and skills sharing with us, and he is a caring person, striving to make our trip well organised in every thing. House keeping team done a good job too.
All of the facilities of the hotel are amazing.
Food is awesome, also the cleaning was great!
Our special thanks to Doreen, she was our game driver for 3 days, and she was amazing!
Explaning everything, looking for the animals we wanted to see, careful driver.
O highly recommend the experience!
The only thing that is good about Ivory Tree is its location relative to the Park. The staff are wonderful and try hard. But this place is not value for money, it is my opinion over priced for what ypu get and there are better places to stay around the Pilansberg that are more value for money.
The hotel staff were friendly, attentive and helpful.
The game ranger conducting the game drive was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Erin was patient when we needed to take pictures and took the initiative to exchange some interesting facts about the various game and birds we saw.
Very well located: close to Joburg and at the entrance of the game reserve, very easy and comfortable to reach. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, food was excellent. our ranger was very knowledable and acessible. All in all, avery pleasant and relaxing experience.
Staff was outstanding. Even got lucky and had a private safari morning ride. Room was insane and luxurious! This place was epic. Here is a video. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpBSuHko1jT/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
