Pilanesberg

Pilansberg Game Reserve in the North West Province, is two hours drive from Johannesburg and has the added benefit of being in a malaria free area, perfect for last minute getaways.

The game reserve is situated in an ancient volcanic crater with striking landscape, rich in diverse wildlife, including the Big Five. The Pilansberg also offers balloon safaris for those who are more romantically minded and the bright lights of Sun City are not to far away if one feel that way inclined. Needless to say, there’s also the very lovely and highly recommended indulgence of simply sitting on the deck and indulging in a G’n T as the sun sets spectacularly over the African savannah.
