Polokwane Game Lodge

The area was clean, we paid just under R150 for self drive game, van picnic and a walk for 2 people. The road is not well marked, however even when you get lost most roads go to one place. Just make sure you have enough petrol. You can also come through for camping , and hiking . The infrastructure needs a little care, but the nice thing is that it is clean. Please bring picnic suppliescamp chairs , meat, picnic blankets, food, drinks and braai suppliescoals etc. Bring cash if you can, pos machine available but problematic during load-shedding

We enjoy going to the park. We once spotted a heard of 16 Giraffe about 2 weeks ago. It is disturbing though to never see Warthogs, monkeys and Baboons anymore since there were so many of them. Playground: There is a playground for young kids Restrooms: Restrooms are cleaned once a day. It is advisable to take toilet paper as it sometimes run out when the picnic spot is busy. Nothimg fancy in the restrooms but umderstandable since visiters vandalize the restrooms. Dog-friendliness: No domestic pets allowed Picnic area: The picnic area is well maintained. The grass is always short and neat. It would have been nice to have a tap or two close to the braai areas. We enjoy having a braai there on a Saturday or Sunday simce it's very quiet and peaceful when the visitors obey the rules and does not make noise.

Polokwane best kept secret. A lovely savanna land park of about 3000ha. Nice picnic break area called the Warthog. Lots of unusual antelope species like Tsesebe, Gemsbok, Red Hartebess, Springbok, Gemsbok, Waterbuck, Eland, Nyala, and the usual Giraffe , Zebra, Wildebees, Kudu, Impala etc. Also fantastic birding. Great hiking and cycling routes. Cheap season tickets are available through the various clubs.

The facility was just amazing and so clean, the campsite was just what I needed. The ablution block was super clean and properly maintained. During my hike I came across so much wildlife and it was amazing. Big ups to the city and the team on site, the staff was very friendly and helpful

They offer game drives self drive. Tickets are R50 for a car and R32 per adult. There is a variety of animals, come early with enough petrol as it is big. Value for money. A van patrols the reserve. The maps given need improvement as it's difficult to find your way back.

Lovely for a day outing. Good picnic area. Saw impalas, nyalas, giraffes, warthog, wildebeest, zebras and more. Picnic area: Lots of braai areas and adequate ablution facilities. Lovely for walks and cycling. Play area for kids.

Perfect spot for hiking, cycling, trail running, walking and camping. The animals always come out play. #1000LimpopoSecrets

Plk game reserve is suitable for a day outing with the family, friends or just your partner for a quality time. The self drive game viewing is enjoyable and cheap! On 29th December 2020 the prices were R30 per adult, R24 for children under 18 and an additional R45 per vehicle. During the rainy season be careful of the muddy areas when driving a vehicle that is not 4x4. You can easily get stuck in mud that does not seem intimidating from your driver's seat. Unfortunately, there is no restaurant or shop where you can buy even drinks. So be sure to pack up on anything you will need in terms of food and drinks. There are several picnic areas, lapas and overnight accommodation that you can book for. I never used any of those facilities but based on previous reviews and notices posted at the reception, don't expect a lot from those services. For example, one notice in the reception area warns you about stoves that might not be working and then informs you that you cannot claim for a refund if you find the stove not working. The Plk game reserve has a lot of great potential. The place just needs a revamp in the systems and management. You can expect to see Giraffe, Eland, Gemsbok, Nyala, Warthog, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Red Hartbeest, Black-backed Jackal, Waterbuck and of course plenty of Springbok. Apparently, they also have Rhino but never saw it Otherwise, I really recommend visiting the place if you just want to spend the day surrounded by nature.

Beautiful place to walk through the bush and experience peace and tranquility under clear blue African skies.

Some maintenance issues but good place to chill out for the day. Cleanest bathrooms I have seen in a public place in a very long time.
