Experience on an unforgettable shared open-vehicle Big 5 safari to Pilanesberg National Park! Just 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, this malaria-free reserve lies within an ancient volcanic crater and overflows with incredible wildlife—from lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo to cheetah, giraffe, zebra, hippo and more than 365 bird species.
Your adventure begins with an early pickup. Travel in comfort in a shared minibus before switching to an open 4×4 safari vehicle for two exhilarating 2.5–3-hour game drives, guided by an expert ranger. Enjoy exceptional wildlife encounters, a relaxing lunch at one of the park’s scenic rest camps (included), and complimentary bottled water throughout the day.
You’ll depart the park around 15:30–16:00, arriving back in Johannesburg before sunset.

5.00Petrus was amazing - we saw a wide variety and it was a quiet day in the park but he tried to ensure we saw as much as possible.
