Trade the city streets for the bushveld beats with a full-day safari adventure in Pilanesberg National Park. Enjoy a wild escape from city life with front-row seats to Africa’s big stars, and a plot twist or two.

Be picked up from your hotel in a air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back, sip your coffee, and enjoy the views as you are whisked toward the adventure that awaits.

Upon arrival, be greeted by your friendly safari guide, who knows Pilanesberg like their own backyard and may have a few insider secrets on where the animals like to hang out. The park itself is nestled in an ancient volcanic crater, so you’re not only surrounded by incredible scenery but also some geological bragging rights.

Go after the big names—elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. Keep your eyes peeled because Pilanesberg is packed with more than 7,000 animals in total, including zebras, giraffes, and every possible type of antelope.

At midday, take a break from the animal action to indulge in a delicious lunch, served bush-style. Don’t worry, the food is people-friendly, so you won’t have to gnaw on any tree bark or leaves.

After lunch, it’s time for Round 2. Your guide will take you deeper into Pilanesberg’s winding paths, where each turn could reveal something epic. Maybe you’ll spot a sleepy pride of lions basking in the afternoon sun or catch a curious giraffe giving you the side-eye.

If you’re really lucky, you might get to witness the iconic elephant mud bath—a natural spa day that’s as messy as it sounds but about a thousand times more adorable. As the day wraps up, bid farewell to Pilanesberg’s wild residents and hop back into the comfort of your air-conditioned chariot.
