A Peek into Pilanesberg
Location:
Situated within close proximity of both Johannesburg and Pretoria, the Pilanesberg Game Reserve offers a convenient escape into the heart of the African wilderness.
Landscape:
What distinguishes Pilanesberg is its unique geological formation – it’s nestled within an ancient volcanic crater, resulting in a landscape unlike the typical safari destinations. Here, you’ll encounter a blend of rocky hills, grassy plains, and picturesque waterholes.
Wildlife:
The reserve is home to an array of wildlife, including the illustrious Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos. But the tapestry of biodiversity extends far beyond this. Zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, and a plethora of bird species await your discovery.
What Awaits You on a Pilanesberg Safari
