A brief look at the history of Pilanesberg
This National Park, the result of a 1979 project, would not be what it is today without having had around 6000 animals relocated into the area. Formerly farming land, the park has an interesting history that goes back beyond the 1900s to a time that is almost unrecognisable.
As if South Africa’s natural settings couldn’t get any more exciting, did you know that the North West province is home to an extinct volcano? South Africa only has two of these features, and the one in which the Pilanesberg National Park is found is the only one which is inland.
The history of the Pilanesberg starts with a volcano. And the remnants of the time when lava flowed in this area can still be seen in the Pilanesberg Mountains and the unique surrounding landscapes. This makes for an interesting safari. The game reserve is within a crater, so looking around you will see a ring of distinguishable mountains reminding you that you are in a crater.
A 7000-meter tall volcano stood in this part of the world, an estimated 1.3 billion years ago. The collapse of the volcano and the subsequent fertile soil left in its wake has resulted in numerous stunning plants and trees flourishing in this area.
In our more recent history, the Pilanesberg national park was set up as a conservationist area and tourist attraction, serving the dual purpose of helping the local community by creating jobs while also being a game reserve where people can come on safari tour and learn about the various wildlife. The reserve covers an area of roughly 572 square kilometres and is filled to the brim with interesting wildlife including the Big 5. And an interesting bit of Pilanesberg information is that the park has no mosquitoes, a big plus when you are visiting Africa.
Our Pilanesberg safaris, accommodation and bookings are TripAdvisor recommended.

It’s close and comfortable for a day safari.
South Africa is richly blessed with wildlife and some of the most popular sightings of the over 10 000 animals currently estimated to be in the park include lion, black rhino, and the elephant.
When you are making your booking it is crucial that you spend more than a few days here if your time allows it. Pilanesberg Safari 3-day, 4-day, and even 5-day safari tours are available from MoAfrika. You can expect 3-star accommodation while in the Pilanesberg and those looking for a little more luxury can choose 5-star lodges to stay in.
But because not everyone can spend numerous days in the park, we know that the TripAdvisor (read our reviews) recommended  1-day Pilanesberg tour is still a wonderful way to explore the park on safari and it has the most exceptional prices. The inexpensive 1-day safari will set off early in the morning, heading to Pilanesberg from Johannesburg, a short distance away. A full day is spent on safari, keenly looking for animals. The Pilanesberg day visitor is really in for a special treat. A day in this reserve is something to remember. Now departing from Sun City too. Pilanesberg is a year-round destination to visit.Â
