Description:

Pilanesberg Game Reserve lies at the base of an ancient volcanic crater and in a transition zone between the dry, arid Kalahari Desert and lush Lowveld region. The geology and ecology of the area are fascinating, in addition to the reserve having the highest concentration of game in South Africa and prolific birdlife.

Before the drive back to Johannesburg, you have a game drive in a closed tour vehicle in Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
