Buffalo Thorn Lodge | Game Lodges & Resorts Pilanesberg

RENT YOUR OWN LODGE

This new reserve forms part of the Greater Pilanesberg
National Park, which is in the extent of fifty seven thousand hectares, in
size.
Black Rhino Game Reserve is situated in Pilanesberg National
Parks (PNP) North Western boundary. It is just less than
two thousand hectares in size and is the first extension that was
incorporated into the PNP.
The final goal is to incorporate farms between PNP and the
Madikwe Game Reserve to form the “Heritage Park” that
will be in the extent of three hundred thousand hectares.
We can enjoy traversing the entire park of fifty thousand hectares
in open game drive vehicles, for close-up viewing of the
big five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo) and
numerous endangered species such as Cheetah, African
Wild Dog, Sable and Tsessebe Antelope.
The Black Rhino Game Reserve’s vegetation is predominantly
sweetveld and it complements the sour and mixed veld of
the PNP. The reserve is characterized by huge numbers of
Tambotie trees and therefore regular sightings of the bad
tempered Black Rhino are frequent.

RENT YOUR OWN LODGE- Sleeping 10 guests.(including children of all ages)

Buffalo Thorn Lodge is nestled in the heart of Black
Rhino Game Reserve, within the Pilanesberg National
Park, only 30 kilometres from Sun City, in the heart of
the South Africa’s North West Province, a malaria free
area.
Buffalo Thorn provides the ultimate escape from
busy schedules, with five luxury thatched chalets
accommodating just ten guests. The main entertainment
area comprises a Dining room, TV Lounge, Reading
Lounge, Games Area and a fully equipped Kitchen.
Outside in the boma, you can relax around an African
fi re, listen to the sounds of the night and stories told by
your experienced game ranger, star-gaze or sit under
cover at the dining table and bar.
Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives as your
ranger shows you the big and small species of the
African bushveld. Game viewing can also be done from
the comfort of loungers around the pool and Jacuzzi, as
many species of birds, small animals and even some of
the big five have been spotted from the deck.
We pride ourselves on giving you a memorable wildlife
experience.

All bedrooms (chalets) stand alone. The 70 square-metre, en-suite bedrooms have their own lounge
and private deck with sun chairs in which to relax whilst overlooking the African bush. The units
