Highly recommended!! With limited days in Johannesburg on business, we did a day trip to Pilanesberg. The ride to the park was roughly 2.5 hours. The park was truly a natural experience (not zoo like) with plenty of wildlife and up close encounters. Niel Jacobs,...More

I went on a one day venture into the Pilanesberg area with the tour company. While it is pricey, I was able to see lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, springboks, hippos, zebras and on and on. It is a massive park which is about 850 hectares...More

What can nature be beautiful! So many animals, ‘the big five’ in two tours. A lucky family! Nice friendly drivers, good cars, a drink, blankets, time flys by! We had fantastic days, unforgetable!
