Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa’s fourth-largest game reserve, lies in a vast crater formed by an ancient volcanic eruption in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province. This long-extinct volcano has shaped one of the country’s most unique and captivating landscapes. Thanks to the efforts of the Genesis Project, the park now hosts a large concentration of South Africa’s wildlife.
Covering 55,000 hectares, Pilanesberg is home to more than 7,000 animals living freely in their natural environment. The park boasts all members of the Big Five—elephant, rhino, leopard, buffalo, and lion—and you’re likely to spot many of them during your visit. You may also encounter zebra, giraffe, cheetah, hyena, hippo, crocodile, jackal, wild cat, a variety of antelope, and over 300 species of birds.
With more than 200 kilometers of roads winding through the park, it offers exceptional game viewing by guided or self-drive options. On this tour, you’ll be led by an experienced and knowledgeable guide who will share insights into the wildlife and ecosystem. Don’t forget your camera—Pilanesberg promises unforgettable wildlife moments and breathtaking scenery.
