The Black Rhino Reserve
Black Rhino is a private game reserve, incorporated into the
Pilanesberg National Park on the North Western side. This lower lying
reserve’s sweet veld vegetation complements the
Pilanesberg’s predominantly mixed sour veld. This type of
habitat is known to carry a wide variety of game species and sightings
of elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. There are over 350 bird
species present. The reserve has its own private entrance on the
Western side of the reserve.
The reserve is characterized by huge numbers of Tambuti trees and
therefore we have regular sightings of the shy and scarce black rhino.
These trees also play host to an incredibly wide variety of bird
species thus making the area a birding paradise.

Pilanesberg
National Park
The Pilanesberg National Park is 55 000 Hectares in extent and borders on the Sun City entertainment complex. The most remarkable feature of this destination is the 1200 million-year old volcano crater with Mankwe Lake in the centre. Because of its positioning between the Kalahari and Lowveld, the vegetation from both areas are located on this terrain. The Pilanesberg National Park is native to all species of animals that naturally occur in this region of South Africa including the big five, wild dog, and rarer species such as Brown Hyena, Tsessebe and Aardwolf. The Park also offers a number of picnic spots, numerous hides for game watching, a walk in aviary, safari game drives and hot air balloon flights over the park.
