Inside the park
Park-run (North West Parks)
The eastern rest camp just inside Manyane gate, run by Golden Leopard Resorts, a state-owned company that reports to the North West Parks and Tourism Board. A fire in February 2024 destroyed the restaurant, reception and conference centre; the operator's notice of 17 September 2024 said only camping and the 2-sleeper chalets were running. A parliamentary oversight report in October 2025 called the rebuild nearly complete, and agent sites now sell it as fully open, but no 2026 confirmation exists. Camping, caravan sites and ablutions were not hit by the fire. Choose it to be on Tshwene Drive at dawn for the price of a campsite; skip it if you need a restaurant on site.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Pilanesberg National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryR748 per international adult per day at USD 1 = ZAR 16.36.
- $46per person, per day
- VehicleR168 per car per day, about $10.
- $10per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $306 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Guests at lodges inside the park usually pay the fee through the lodge; several private-reserve lodges include it in their rate.

Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked against our research of 24 September 2026 and converted at R16.36 to the dollar. Where a lodge publishes its own rate we use it with its date. The per-person figures for Ivory Tree, Shepherd's Tree, Kwa Maritane, Bakubung Bush Lodge, Tshukudu, Tsholo, Umoya, Mbazo and Dzombo are a named agent's or reseller's and say so; the guesthouses, The Kingdom and Tlou come from one Booking.com night (14 to 15 October 2026) or LekkeSlaap's list. The price filter and sort use per-person rates only: campsites, rooms, villas and whole lodges show their rate in the text but carry no sortable figure. The park conservation fee comes on top outside the gate: R748 per foreign adult, R168 per South African adult and R168 per car, per day since 1 December 2025, card only, and a new tariff could start on 1 December 2026.
