The Itinerary
DAILY: PRIVATE DEPARTURES
06:00 Collection from Johannesburg based Hotel
Pilanesburg National Park
Depart Johannesburg in the early morning and transfer to
the Pilanesberg National Park. The journey takes approximately 3 hours
per way. Upon arrival, enjoy brunch at a restaurant inside the park
before departing on a 2,5 hour open vehicle game drive with a qualified
ranger. Afterward, meet up with your touring vehicle and continue with
a drive through the park for the remainder of the day. Majestic hills
encircle the park and a large central watering hole is ideal for game
viewing. The park is found in the transition zone of the Kalahari and
the Lowveld, and therefore both types of vegetation are found.
Pilanesberg National Park is home to the Big Five and other large game
including giraffe, hippo, zebra and crocodile, as well as an extreme
diversity of birdlife (over 300 species have been recorded). A visit to
the park is always rewarding! There are various hides and picnic spots
where you may stop and stretch your legs. In the early afternoon,
depart Pilanesberg National Park and head back to Johannesburg where
the tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.
