Feel the excitement of knowing you are about to take a journey into uncharted areas where it is you and Africa’s most feared creatures by exploring their territory, by their rules. You will be collected from the Hotel at 05h00 and proceed to the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve that spans an area of 550 square kilometres, the home of the BIG FIVE. Here we will drive around in the safety of our vehicle and feel the tension mounting that at any moment just around a corner and spot a herd of elephant or the king himself the lion or if luck the ever elusive leopard. With hunger setting in we will stop off at the Zebra Crossing Restaurant in the park for lunch.

Stop At: Bush Babies Monkey Sanctuary, R104, Madibeng 0216 South Africa
The Monkey sanctuary is a privately owned sanctuary covering approximately 7 ha situated alongside the Magaliesberg Mountain Range. All the monkeys are taken in by the reserve from public donations and are funded by the guiding fees charged. Primates such as our Squirrel, Spider and Capuchin monkeys are given a new lease on life at the Sanctuary. Previously raised as house pets or breed for the pet trade, the monkeys are introduced into the wild world laden with waterfalls, lush vegetation, natural mountain springs. This gives them the chance to get back in their natural habitat.
