More About the Pilanesberg Day Safari
The safari is approximately 9 hours, departing Johannesburg 06h30 and returning around 17h30.
Enjoy driving around Pilanesberg for 5 hours in a nine seater open safari vehicle driven by very knowledgeable game rangers.
The 55 000 hectares (132 000 acres) of Pilanesberg National Park are home to some 7 000 animals and the park is now one of the privileged reserves hosting the Big Five and 360 species of bird.
This is one of the most popular day visits as it offers so much in one day. While it is a lot to take in, it is balanced and spaced out, giving you time to absorb the experience.
In a single decade the Pilanesberg has become a leading wildlife destination.
What more could you want from a Big5 SAfari? Only to extend it to a few days and overnight it! 😉
This is a Malaria free area.

They are very reactive. Susan replied to my question on a Sunday. Our guide/driver to Pilanesberg was friendly/knowledgeable. We had an open tour in Pilanesberg in the morning duting which we saw elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, zebras, tortoises, gnou,... it was great, Russel our guide was great too. We were picked up and dropped back at our hotel in Sandton on time and spent a wonderful day thanks to Susan, Wiggie and Russel!
