{"product_id":"south-africa-pilanesberg-national-park-ivory-tree-game-lodge","title":"Ivory Tree Game Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou stay at Ivory Tree Game Lodge in the crater of an ancient volcano, now Pilanesberg National Park. The lodge has sixty-four rooms, including suites with private plunge pools and outdoor showers. Morning and evening game drives go out in open vehicles with rangers who know the reserve’s elephant trails and riverine woodlands — this is Big Five territory, and the park is malaria-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bird hides are what set Pilanesberg apart. Six hides face different directions for light: west-facing Rathogo for morning photography, east-facing Ruighoek and Mankwe for afternoon light, north-facing Makorwane and Batlhako for cloudy days. Mankwe Hide overlooks a dam where herons, kingfishers, and African fish eagles come to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack at the lodge, the dining room serves breakfast and lunch; dinners go to the boma when the weather allows. The spa has treatment rooms on stilts with views over the bushveld. The rock pool cools the afternoons between drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePilanesberg is two hours from Johannesburg by road. The reserve’s alkaline ring complex — the remains of that volcano — makes for unusual geology and overlapping ecosystems where dry-land and wetland species meet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932270362844,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/ivory-tree-game-lodge-bagatla-gate-pilanesberg-national-park-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783196238","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-pilanesberg-national-park-ivory-tree-game-lodge","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
