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.

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!!!

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

On track to the lions, but we did not see them! But certainly 4 rhino's!
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!

Pilanesberg - Nice for a quite trip from Johannesburg
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.

Fantastic park set in a crater with the big 5 to be seen.

Big Five in one day
This was an amazing experience. Large enough to feel like you are really out exploring. Something to see around every corner. From small birds to elephants, the closer the look the more you learn. A real opportunity to get very, very close to nature. Our guide was able to find "the big five" all in one outing. But there is so much more to this reserve than the big five. I will remember the sights and sounds for a long time. While it is clear that you are in a reserve, you still get a sense for the "wilds of Africa".

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.
