Pilanesberg National Park

I absolutely love this place. If you love safari, I would recommend this place over Kruger National Park any day.Instead of being faced by ridiculous prices and long drives just to see nothing. You'll find this place booming with wildlife!You'll have a great chance of seeing the Big 5, and it's close to Sun City if you have an itch to go to the casino!Reasonable prices, great facilities, and a park that caters to wildlife enthusiasts! What more do you want?The only thing to be careful with is the overpriced African" art produced by factories elsewhere being constantly pushed on you at the gates. It's a huge scam for your money so be careful! Rather

Great guide allowed us to really enjoy the drive. With so many different animals it's a great place to see animals for the first time. Would really recommend for a visit.

Early 5:00 a.m. morning Safari It's chilly but definitely beautiful. I was able to capture some sunrises and sun settings. The animals were exceptionally a lifetime experience and I am so grateful I was able to experience it. The tour guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and I thank them all.

Great little reserve. Lots of Hides, watering holes and lodges. All hides have toilets. Pilanesberg centre is a great place for breakfast overlooking the watering hole.

It was an amazing experience. One day is enough to see the park. There is high chance to see lions, chitah, rhino, elephants, zebras, Giraffes and dears. There are several travel agencies who picks up travellers from Johannesburg at early morning and drops off at the evening. Thus service is little pricy but worth it.

We visited the park through a morning excursion in connection to our hotel. Although it was a fairly overcast day we saw four out of five of the Big Five. The only one we did not see was a Cape Buffalo. Since we were on a tour we had limited time and mobility. If we were on a self- guided tour we possibly would have seen even more wildlife.

What a treat from hospitality, accommodation, food and experience......just must visit. Amazing. Thanks Bakubung Bush Lodge - owner and staff

I love nature and seeing wildlife in its natural state such as seen in Pilanesberg and it has some breathtaking views, but we were let down by a few things. The roads are in a horrible state, both tarmac and dirt, and some facilities/picnic spots are either rundown or without water so the toilets are badly clogged and the smells are unpleasant. It would seem that every time we visit things are worse, but this time I had to say something. Management, can you please look after this gem and restore my confidence in this place, it has so much potential, but we are let down by those in charge, volunteers and people who help can only do so much. I regret not always having my phone with me for better pictures, but I can at least show the beauty of some animals.

It was literally a lifetime of experience watching wild animals in person. Love what they do for the preservation of animals.

One of my favorite Reserves so sad to see the roads are in such a bad condition and ready mix tat" just lying wasted on the road side. Still a nice vist but would not recommend going in a small car."
