Excellent lodge at Pilanesburg Park. The room was clean, spacious, and had a view of their watering hole. The food was buffet and good. The hours for the buffet were long and accommodated the game drives. Game drives were excellent. We saw lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, etc. I highly recommend this lodge.
