We went to Pilanesberg National Park (PNP) before going to Idube and this was perfect. In PNP we saw many wild animals but missed out on lions, leopards and buffalos of the big five. We came close to hippos, giraffes, wildebeests a rhino, zebras, and many kudos, spring bucks and other antelopes.
The combination of going to PNP and drive around by our self and then go to Idube where we were shown the nature by experienced guides was perfect.

I thought Pilanesberg was gorgeous, but we saw less animals and the animals we did see were not as close.

Good location next to Sun-city and located in a huge volcano crater. Stayed offsite at Bakubang which was pleasant but I prefer to be staying in the reserve itself

Nice for a day outing if you want to see some game and don't have much time. Adjacent Sun City resort is great for golfing and just relaxing and of course it is all set in an ancient volcano.

Excellent and place that have to be discovered. Great lodges! Close to Johannesburg but feels far away in the bush.

A wonderful place with the "Big Five" only 2 and a half hours from Johannesburg. Malaria free and beautiful camps and bird life.

In my opinion Pilanesberg is too small to accommodate the number of people who go there.

Small park compared to Kruger, but highly recomended as it is next to a primier destination like the Sun City Hotel Complex. Visited this park and spotted the big cats on a morning game drive, and the quality of light was very nice to photograph.
