Discover Thrilling Wildlife

in an Ancient Crater

Embark on unforgettable wildlife encounters on a Pilanesberg National Park Safari. Nestled within an extinct volcanic crater, this reserve offers thrilling Big 5 safaris, diverse landscapes, and rich archaeological history – all just a short drive from Johannesburg. Whether seeking family fun or a quick escape into the bush, Pilanesberg awaits.

Pilanesberg, an ancient volcanic mountain in South Africa‘s North West Province, boasts rich geography, natural beauty, and exciting activities. Formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, it features a circular mountain range with three concentric ridges. The highest point, Pilanesberg Peak, reaches 1,687 meters (5,538 ft). This collapsed caldera spans 24 kilometers in diameter and showcases stunning landscapes, including rocky outcrops, grasslands, and woodlands.

Home to diverse plant and animal life, Pilanesberg provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Pilanesberg National Park offers game drives, hikes, and sightings of zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and springboks. Bushwalking and hiking trails let you explore the mountain’s varied landscapes on foot.
