hosting a national conference we could not have asked for much
more” Michelev892 from Midrand describes her conference
experience on Tripadvisor. “From the reception, functions,
meals, menus and every staff member encountered, we couldn’t
have asked for more. The staff were exemplary.
Can’t wait to come again”.
Plumari Private Game Reserve is set within a pristine wilderness area

flora, fauna, birdlife and wildlife. Two game drives, each

time while admiring South African décor pieces dating back
to the 1800’s. Slipper baths, a coal stove, wash stands,
luggage chests, antique Oregon cupboards and tables are subtly placed
within the four-star surrounding, to emphasize the captivating history
of the Magaliesberg area.
African Hills Safari Lodge has one of the largest private collections
of ox wagons, carts and other animal drawn vehicles from the period
1800 to 1900. A variety of items from the Boer War and San Bushmen rock
carvings tell the history of the area, which is also known for the
nearby Battle of Nooitgedacht. Examples are available in the museum,
which is a popular venue for teambuilding or pre-dinner drinks. The Day

Directions to African Hills Safari Lodge
From OR Tambo International Airport
Follow sign to Johannesburg until you reach the interchange with the N1 highway. From there follow the sights N1 North/Roodepoort or N1 Pretoria. In other words, keep going straight initially, but then get into the left hand lane to take the slip road that turns hard to the left, do not continue on the main R24 road to Johannesburg.
The road will then turn in a circle and take you onto the N1 north, where you should follow it to Roodepoort past Sandton. Take the 14th Avenue off-ramp. At the next intersection (Hendrik Potgieter) turn right and go on the on-tamp onto Hendrik Potgieter and head towards Krugersdorp. Follow this road past Makro all the way to the N14/R28 traffic lights (a SASOL garage will be on the far left hand side of the intersection).
Continue straight over until you reach a T-Junction. Turn right at the T-Junction heading on the R563 to Hekpoort. Remain on the right hand side, do not take the N14 to the left. Follow the R563 over the Hekpoort hills towards the Magaliesberg. When you reach a T-Junction, turn left onto the R560. Remain on this road for about 8km (5 miels) until you see the Doornhoek (Plumari Africa/Plumari Game Lodge) turnoff to the right. Take this turnoff and continue on the dirt road for about 6km (3 miles) until you reach the Plumari Game Lodge on the right-hand side.
