Lenong Viewpoint
Lenong Lookout
The highest drivable viewpoint in Pilanesberg. From the top of Eagle Mountain, you can see the entire crater ridge and Mankwe Dam.
“Lenong” means “vulture” in Setswana. The summit has a viewing platform and a shaded pavilion, making it one of the few places in the park where you can get out of your vehicle. From here, you get a 360-degree view of the concentric crater ridges, the grasslands and Mankwe Dam, and on clear days you can even see Sun City in the distance. The road to the top is steep and gravelly, and it gets slippery after rain, so ordinary sedans should be driven with care. The lookout is in the northwest of the park, about an hour's drive from the Bakubung Gate near Sun City, and can be combined with a Kgabo Road game drive.
