A wild dog in Pilanesberg Game Reserve - one of the rarer wildlife species

Pilanesberg Game Reserve, also know as the Pilanesberg National Park, is situated within a 2-hour drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, making it an ideal location for a quick safari.

Spanning 55 000 hectares (135900 acres), the park is home to a large variety of animals, birds, and trees. They also have the Big 5.

Being so close to the central hubs of Johannesburg and Pretoria, the park is a favorite among guests due to its wide variety of accommodation, diverse biosphere and that it is completely Malaria Free.

With the park being a public game reserve, accommodation tends to be more “budget-friendly” than other game reserves in South Africa. To assist in booking your safari, we suggest contacting one of our Safari Specialists to start your African Safari journey.

Smiles Bookings Safari Specialist team will be eager to find the best option for your needs.
