Pilanesberg National Park

After meeting you at your hotel or residence in Johannesburg between 06h00 and 06h30 or at the time indicated by the consultant, we drive you to Pilanesberg. On arrival in Pilanesberg and after a short break meet your field guide/game ranger and at 09h30 begin your exciting 5 hour open 4x4 vehicle safari drive. Our guides are knowledgeable and will give you in depth information on the wildlife you are viewing. You will stop at a restaurant in the middle of Pilanesberg and enjoy a light lunch looking out over a very active waterhole. After lunch the open vehicle safari continues as the ranger slowly drives back towards the gate spotting animals on the way. Our guide will meet you at the gate and depart the Pilanesberg between 15h30 and 16h00 in order to arrive in Johannesburg before sunset.
