Lenong View, Pilanesberg National Park
The Lenong View is a 5.7 km gravel road in Pilanesberg National Park about 8.7 km from Bakgatla Gate. It connects to Sefara Drive. Here's what lives along it, where to stop.
Lenong View is the 5.7 km gravel road up to one of the highest lookouts in Pilanesberg, reached from Sefara Drive. From the top you look across the rings of the ancient volcano, with Mankwe Dam and Makorwane Dam below. There is a second viewpoint on Lenong Ridge along the way. The upper section is steeper and rougher than most of the park's roads, and a vehicle with higher clearance is recommended there.
