Pilanesberg Game Reserve Game Reserves Review

Whilst in Johannesburg you must take the time to visit The Pilanesberg National Park - either with a tour or by hiring a car and taking a self-drive trip to the Park.
Pilanesberg is next to the well known resort Sun City.
There are numerous hides and picnic sites where tourists can alight from their car to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the bushveld around.
There are many different species of animals and birds. The park is home to the "Big Five" animals, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and Rhino. A wide variety of rare and common species also exist, like noctunal hyena, cheetah and the sable antelope.
The Park is situated in the crater of an extinct volcano. Pilanesberg is one of the largest volcanic complexes of its kind in the world. Its rare rock types and stucture make it a unique geological feature.
