Pilanesberg National Park Day Trip
Joined 2023
Among Southern Africa’s best game reserves, Pilanesberg National Park is the most accessible. Located in the Savanna Bushveld, this vast area promises thrilling big game viewing in a malaria free environment. Besides the rich biodiversity the park is one of a kind globally as its situated in one of only 3 imploded volcanos on earth. We will also look at the cultural history in the park at the Iron Age Site and a Safari is not complete without a true South Africa Braai lunch.
