Why the North West?

The North West

It is home to the Pilanesberg National Park and Game Reserve, which is set within the crater of an ancient volcano and its distinct ancient formations and lush flora is host to virtually all the native animal species native to southern Africa. Its relatively easy distance from Johannesburg, makes it the perfect destination of choice to escape into the tranquil, healing balm of the African bush.

The Kingdom Resort

Wake up to a Pilanesberg sunrise and breathe in a truly unique African atmosphere when staying at The Kingdom Resort, where you'll be able to experience the tranquillity of the untamed landscape whilst in the lap of luxury.

The resort offers an all-encompassing holiday experience from the moment you arrive. Enjoy a light meal or a sundowner, have fun at the Splash Kingdom Waterpark, or indulge yourself in some beauty treatments to melt your stress away.

You can also make lasting memories on a one-of-a-kind excursion, the Rare Game Experience, where you could view some of the world's most unique game animals all in one place. This game drive can be enjoyed in two ways: an expert game ranger can take you on an interactive game drive on the safari vehicle or you could explore the terrain to view these elusive animals on a guided quad bike excursion.

The self-catering villas were built for relaxed open-style living, without sparing the little details that set this resort apart. Take a dip in your private pool, dine al fresco in the entertainment area or simply unwind after an adventurous day in the bush.
