Pilanesberg game drives.

The Big Five in a malaria-free reserve, with guides who know every loop road in the crater.

A different kind of reserve.

Pilanesberg National Park fills the crater of an extinct volcano. The hills, open grassland and Mankwe Dam pack a remarkable range of wildlife into one day.

You have a real chance at lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant, plus giraffe, zebra, hippo and hundreds of bird species. Our guides are FGASA members and THETA-accredited, and they read the park the way a local reads their own street.
