Map of Pilanesberg
The Pilanesberg National Park, which covers some 55 000 hectare, is the fourth largest National Park in southern Africa.
Located next door to the famous entertainment resort of Sun City, this malaria-free game reserve is situated in an extinct alkaline volcanic crater. It is one of only three such craters in the world.
Apart from its size, shape and unique rock types, the volcanic origin and subsequent eroding of this extinct crater has given rise to a wide variety of landscapes providing an extensive range of habitats for the African wildlife. This unique biosphere allows the park to support a wide range of wildlife including many endangered specifies such as black rhino, roan, sable, tsessebe, foot-and-mouth free buffalo and wild dogs.
Add to this it is a Big Five Game reserve close to Johannesburg, making this game reserve the perfect option for people with limited time in South Africa.
Top things to do in the Pilanesberg National Park:
- Go on a game drive in an open 4 x 4 safari vehicle

- Go Rhino Tracking on foot
