1-day Pilanesberg Wildlife Safari
Starting every day, this Tour is an excellent choice for people who want to enjoy a game drive to get chances to see populations of lion, leopard, black and white rhino, elephant and buffalo – Africa’s “Big Five”.
"The crater of a long extinct volcano is the setting of Pilanesberg National Park – a fascinating alkaline complex produced by volcanic eruptions some 1300 million years ago. Pilanesberg is one of the largest volcanic complexes of its kind in the world. Its rare rock types and structure make it a unique geological feature. An abundance of wildlife proliferates in 580 km of diverse and arresting bushveld terrain. Bird watching is excellent with over 300 species recorded. Some are migrants, others permanent inhabitants; some eat carrion or live prey, others eat seeds, fruit or tiny water organisms."
After pick up and the 3 hour drive to Pilanesberg from Gauteng, we drive on the many roads through the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in a Kombi/minivan for 3 to 4 hours, where you will have opportunities to see the Big 5 in their natural habitat. We enjoy lunch (not included) in the restaurant at the visitor centre. After observing more spectacular wildlife from bird hides, we take you back in the afternoon to your hotel or the O.R.
