Description

Depart at 6:00 AM from Johannesburg for a full-day excursion to explore Pilanesberg National Park. Sit back and enjoy the three-hour journey to Pilanesberg, passing by the scenic Magaliesberg Mountains and the picturesque Hartbeespoort Dam. The Pilanesberg National Park lies in a caldera of an extinct 1200 million-year-old volcano and is dramatically beautiful with mountains, plains, wooded valleys, and dams. Over 7,000 animals roam freely across the spectacular volcanic landscape, including the Big Five, predators, and a large variety of antelope. Mankwe Dam, at the center of the reserve, is a large watering hole that draws animals and birds to it on a daily basis. See all this beauty and more on a 3-hour 4x4 morning game drive through the Park. Feel the wind in your hair and the thrill of getting closer to nature in an open-air safari vehicle. Keep your eyes peeled for stealthy predators such as wild dogs, Cape foxes, and spotted hyenas. Stop for a light lunch (ZAR 100 voucher) at the Pilanesberg Centre in a beautiful restaurant called InDaBush Convenience and Curio Shops with views of the animals. Lunch is included in the tour. As the sun starts to set, you will embark on an afternoon game drive in our own vehicle through the park. After your game drive concludes, depart for your return trip around 15:30/16:00 to Johannesburg. You will arrive at your hotel between 20:00 and 21:00 depending on the time you left the Park.
