Overview

Visit the fourth largest game reserve in South Africa, spanning over 50’000 hectares on mixed terrain ranging from low lying bushveld to savannah to the mountains of the Pilanesberg, hence the name. An exciting variety of animals are available including the Big 5, and the reserve is the closest wildlife area to Johannesburg that offers the Big 5 in their natural habitat. The park is malaria-free and lies right within the same extinct volcanic crater as Sun City.

Itinerary

Pilanesberg National Park

Pilanesberg National Park, 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. Over 7 000 Animals In 1979, Operation Genesis was launched. Operation Genesis was designed to reinforce the homegrown game population in the area. As part of the initiative, 110 kilometres of the game fence was put up, as well as the 188 kilometres of roads that were established. Another plan of action put into place involved 6000 animals being introduced to the area. In the years that followed, Operation Genesis has been expanded on. Today, there are over 7 000 animals, 360 bird species, and more than 200 kilometres of roads. *Travel time from Johannesburg to Pilanesberg will be around 2 to 2 and a half hours.

History was made in 1979 when Sun City was opened in the North West to become the best holiday resort in South Africa, and for good reason. Home to the Valley of Waves and sprawled along the border of the Pilanesberg National Park, Sun City Resort enjoys the fine distinction of being the only surf-and-safari destination within a two-hour drive of landlocked Johannesburg. Whether you’re looking for a romantic stay with your partner, a fun weekend getaway with friends or a North West holiday with the whole family, Sun City Resort has it all. *Travel time from Sun City back to Johannesburg will be around 2 to 2 and a half hours

Breathtaking

Published on Jun, 2024

We got to see 3 of the big fives and the giraffes and zebras were amazing. Our driver was kind and courteous. Really enjoy the trip. At the stop to have lunch at the casino we had Mexican food and the food was great and great service as well. Recommend the experience.

A great day out

Published on Jan, 2019

We thoroughly enjoyed the day out. The game reserve was awesome and we managed to see 3 of the Big Five, all in close up positions. Also we managed to see some lovely birds and other smaller animals. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. The trip to Sun City was not what we expected and we felt that having a full day in the game reserve with a lunch would be better.
