Pilanesberg Game Reserve is the fourth-largest protected wilderness area in South Africa and one of the most popular Big 5 safari destinations in the country. The game reserve covers an area of 55 000 hectares which is small in comparison to the Kruger Park. However, it boasts the highest concentration of game in southern Africa and you’re guaranteed incredible animal sightings. Pilanesberg Game Reserve lies within a rare alkaline ring complex in the basin of an extinct volcano. It’s located in a transitional zone between the dry, arid Kalahari Desert and the lush Lowveld region. The geology and ecology of the area is fascinating and birdlife is prolific. A big drawcard to Pilanesberg Game Reserve is it’s located in a malaria-free region in the North West Province. After a glorious few hours in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, you have the option of visiting the reserve’s famous next-door neighbour. Sun City is a massive entertainment resort that’s 15-minutes from the main gate. If you’re like to spend longer in the game reserve rather than visit Sun City, you can opt for an extended afternoon game drive in our closed tour vehicle
