More about Pilanesberg Full Day Safari

Escape the city and experience an authentic Big Five safari just a few hours from Johannesburg.

This full-day Pilanesberg Safari begins with an early morning hotel pickup in Johannesburg, followed by a comfortable transfer to Pilanesberg National Park — one of South Africa’s premier malaria-free game reserves, home to the Big Five and a wide variety of wildlife.

Upon arrival, guests will embark on an exciting open-vehicle game drive led by a professional safari ranger. The morning drive offers excellent opportunities to spot elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and numerous antelope species in their natural habitat.

Midway through the morning, there will be a short break at a designated rest camp where guests may purchase coffee and refreshments (own account).

The safari adventure continues with another guided game drive through different sections of the park, maximizing wildlife viewing opportunities.

Around midday, guests will stop for lunch at one of the park’s restaurants (own account), allowing time to relax before the afternoon safari session.

In the afternoon, enjoy a final open-vehicle game drive as wildlife becomes active again during the cooler hours of the day.

At approximately 15:00, guests will depart Pilanesberg and transfer back to Johannesburg, arriving in the late afternoon with drop-off at their hotels.

This tour is perfect for travelers seeking a true African safari experience within easy reach of Johannesburg.
