Pilanesberg National Park
Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge is situated on a concession within the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park.
Safari goers here can enjoy exclusive traversing on the concession during morning and afternoon game drives, as well as being able to access and drive on all the Park's public roads too.
Guests can also participate in guided walking trails in the untouched neighbouring wilderness area.
The Pilanesberg National Park neighbours Sun City, and is less than a 2 hour drive from Johannesburg. The Park itself is centred around an extinct volcano.
It is home to over 7,000 animals including the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo), giraffe, hippo, zebra, jackal, hyena and many antelope.
There are also over 350 bird species.
Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge offers 26 standard rooms and 4 executive suites. The suites all open up to beckoning views of the distant bushveld valley. The standard rooms can also be converted into 2 bedroomed suites if required, including an adjoining private lounge area.
The magnificent main lodge provides all the necessary facilities and amenities, including a restaurant, bar, wine cellar, lounge, internet station, swimming pool and deck, and a boma, and a health & Beauty Spa, offering a range of indulgent treatments.

It was overwhelming the kindness and attention to detail shown by all the staff at Shepherd's Tree Lodge. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Tracey and Paul at Travel Butlers were extremely helpful in understanding all our slightly unusual requests.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic at the Shepherd's Tree Game Lodge. We absolutely loved it. The game drives were amazing, we saw 4 out of the Big 5 along with loads of other animals. We saw lions twice, in the Shepherd's Tree private game/conservation area only. Our ranger was Hendrick and he was brilliant, so interested and always trying to get us lots of sightings!
The resort was also truly beautiful and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us and nothing was a problem. I would HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone thinking of a safari in Pilanesberg. The rooms, bed, everything, was so comfortable. The outdoor shower was great, really unique!
Thank you again for the recommendation and helping us book. We loved it!

The staff at the lodge went out of their way to make us feel really special and we were very impressed with everything. Just wish we had booked for longer.
