Pilanesberg

The most accessible of all as it’s only two hours north of Johannesburg and borders Sun City, Pilanesberg is also one of the largest parks in South Africa covering some 55 000 hectares – although the park is open to the public, the lodges that we sell here have private traversing areas too which provide good game viewing, including the Big Five.
