Find out here how we travelled, when and where we stayed 

Flight and other transport

We flew with an airline that has gone belly up in the meantime so no use in mentioning them. 

I rented a car from Europcar. As it's South Africa, you really need full omnium insurance with a reputed company. No risks here! We were fine but I have friends who's car was damaged on day 1. Also take into account that a lot of drivers in South Africa don't have insurance, so it's all going to fall on you if anything at all happens to the car. That in combination with the many, many potholes in the roads, you really need to take the full omnium! I know it's expensive, but risking it, can cost you a lot more. At least you buy peace of mind with the omnium :-)

Stay

We stayed at Kwa Maritane Bush lodge in Pilanesberg. I can very strongly recommend booking with them directly. You get your game drives included in the price whish is awesome! You also have some negotiating room on the rates if you book quickly. You can trust it but make sure you book directly on the site of Pilanesberg National Park. 

It's a three hour drive from OR TAMBO (Johannesburg Airport). Make sure to download your google maps offline before you arrive as you will pay a fortune for data otherwise! It works perfectly fine. 

Period

We went in February which is the perfect time to catch that beautiful summer weather at the end of our winter. We got very lucky and saw 4 of the big 5 - the cheetah was spotted on a morning drive when we were still enjoying our very comfortable bed.
