Pilanesberg National Park
Pilanesberg National Park, or Pilanesberg Game Reserve as it is often called, is located in the
Bojanala Region, within the North West Province and relatively near Johannesburg. With an area of
550km², it is the fourth largest park in South Africa. The volcano crater in which the park is situated
erupted 1300 million years ago. Pilanesberg was originally owned by 3 of the local tribes. Many of
the Stone Age and Iron Age sites around the reserve show proof of the presence of man.
The relatively small size of the park, and its unusual ecological richness, dramatically increase your
chance of encountering the Big 5 in their natural environment. Enjoy a leisurely Safari experience.
Virtually all of the animal species native to southern Africa can be found here, including the Big 5,
wild dog, Roan, Tsessebe, Sable antelope and more than 360 species of bird.
