Pilanesberg Game Drives

A traditional game drive is a classic way to experience a safari in Africa. The Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa spans over 55 000 hectares; its open grassland plains and rolling wooded valleys are home to a wide variety of wildlife species. This includes all 5 iconic members of the African Big 5: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. You can also hope to spot zebra, giraffe, cheetah, hyena, jackal, and hippo, among others. The park is also a birding hotspot, with over 300 recorded species. The park is also malaria-free. These guided game drives depart daily, and take place in 25-seater open game drive vehicles. Guests can also request private vehicles for their game drive, which will depart whenever they require. Another game drive option is a game drive with breakfast, lunch or dinner served at a lodge in the park. After the dinner, spotlights are used on the return game drive, allowing guests the opportunity to spot the nocturnal wildlife of the Pilanesberg.
