Pilanesberg is a nice reserve but not spectacular. We saw 4 of the big 5 but sitings were sparce. Good guides are key as we probably would have missed a great number of animals without them.

We only spend 3 days in Pilanusberg, but we were impressed! Very luxury Bakabung Game Lodge, very good meals, nice safaris with a good explaining bij the ranger, beautifull landscape and a lovely swimmingpool!

We enjoyed the game reserve so close to the "Little Las Vegas" of South Africa. Friendly staff and great to find such a diversity of big animals.

Around the corner from South Africa's Las Vegas is a tranquil wildlife environment that is still very professionally managed

I was at Pilanesberg in spring and had the experience of a lifetime... Hordes of giraffe prancing in sun-drenched fields; zebra, wildebeest, and springbok all grazing and relaxing together and with their young; a large pride of lions in a collective, placid siesta... Don't miss it. Make sure to put this Park on your itinerary!!!

We weren't impressed by the variety of the wildlife or the number of animals and any sort of bush vibe from the place was lacking.
