Pilanesberg Game Reserve
Kwa MaritaneLodge 
Mother Nature and civilization meet in perfect harmony at Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge. Located on the slopes of an ancient volcano, Kwa Maritane,literally means "Place of the Rock".
The lodge offers you all the amenities of a prime resort on the doorstep of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park. From here, you can look out over the infinite plains adjacent to the Pilanesberg National Park - an area rich in wildlife and hosting around 365 species of birds. Perhaps it's these ideal natural surroundings that won them a "Best Game Lodge" Award, or maybe it's just that they offer distinctive service in every way.
