Climb aboard an open vehicle and set off on a 3-hour game drive in the Pilanesberg National Park from Sun City!

If you are looking for a place to go on safari near Johannesburg and Pretoria, the Pilanesberg National Park is ideal! Spread over 550 km² in an ancient volcanic crater offering breathtaking landscapes between bush and mountains, this unspoilt area is teeming with animal species (over 50 species of large mammals and many smaller species). Here, you can discover South Africa's famous Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo) and other must-see animals of the savannah: zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, cheetah, wild dog, antelope, hippopotamus, etc.

Suitable for all ages, this guided game drive in the Pilanesberg National Park begins in Sun City, where you will board a 25-seater open safari vehicle. It is just a 10-minute drive to the Bakubung Gate, where you enter the park for your 3-hour game drive! Throughout the excursion, your guide will give you a wealth of information about the park's flora and fauna, pausing at each animal encounter to watch them flourish in their natural environment. Young and old alike will be amazed at the beauty of South Africa's natural environment, just waiting to be discovered!

Home to all the emblematic species of the African savannah, Pilanesberg National Park is a must for any safari near Johannesburg and Pretoria. You can even take a walking safari through the bush! Just a reminder: if you have binoculars, don't forget to take them with you so you don't miss any wildlife!
