The wildlife is abundant
The roads are in horrific condition and beyond repair. I would not recommend traveling with a standard sedan. Pilanesberg Center is a must see. Road from Bakgatla needs a complete redo. Wildlife is abundant. Pilanesberg WAS the crown jewel of the North West province. I assume mismanagement and incompetence being the reason for the decline of this once wonderful park. At least the Wildlife is still there.
This is average to other parks - need to get more predators

No off road, lot of people due to Sun City proximity

Easy to reach and to visit, affordable, interesting
I did not expect plenty of wildlife, being a small park surrounded by civilization; however the variety and the amount of game viewing surprised me. We just missed big cats, but the kind of vegetation does not help easy spots; we could see several interesting mammals, including black rhinos. Birding is really worthy, as the quantity and variety of birds is impressive. Access is easy, roads are well maintained and such that even if the park is crowded, you seldom have to share space with other visitor's cars if an interesting spot is made

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

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.
