How does sleeping under the stars sound to you? A night spent out in the bush, camping under nothing but the star filled sky while wildlife continues its routine of nocturnal goings-on all around you makes for one of those unforgettable, truly African experiences.

We offer a wide variety of Tours and Safaris. Contact us about our 2022/2023 holiday packages.

Founded in 1979 within a unique environment, this North-West base South African park has been giving city dwellers and tourists to the area the wild safari experience that once required people to travel many kilometres into neighbouring provinces. The park is not only home to plenty of wildlife but it is also a place where numerous geological sights can be explored. Pilanesberg is situated within a long extinct volcano, the crater of which was formed some 1 200 million years ago. The park is full of unique landforms, structures and rocks as well as rare minerals. Even if you factor out the exciting animal attractions, the geological formations themselves make Pilanesberg tours a must.

The park itself covers 572 square kilometres. There are three main tarred roads and a number of secondary roads that can be travelled on. Our Custom Made Safaris takes you through the areas that are best for animal sightseeing.

What to do in Pilanesberg today? Allow us to plan your travel itinerary packed with sightseeing and adventure. Your first family safari will be the best ever. Contact us for our family and romantic holiday packages.

In touch with the wild side of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve

Seeing animals, and plenty of them, is what going on safari is all about. Travelling through the wildest parts of the park, you are guaranteed to have more than a few animals crossing your path. The longer you spend in the park, the more animals you will see. If you have a number of days open and you want a full safari experience then browse through the Pilanesberg safari packages carefully. There are a few options that cater for to those looking for more than a single day in the park.

Large mammals in the park, as of 2010, stand at over 10 000. Along with the Big 5 (Black Rhino, Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and Leopard), there is a variety of antelope that graze the planes. Cheetah, Caracal and Giraffe are also among the sightings that you can look forward to. The park is not spread out over a massive area which means that animal sightings are more common than in the bigger parks. Safari tours are a great way to explore the park, taking away the stress of driving.

The Pilanesberg 2 day and 3-day safari options will give you more than enough time to see the entire park, getting the most out of your time spent here.

What you can expect from the best Pilanesberg safari experience :

The way that a safari is structured, and who takes you on the trip, really can make or break your time in the wild. A safari is not something to be rushed. With much sightseeing to do the last thing you want is for the wildlife to be rushed before your eyes. Pilanesberg safari and tours, with the right operator, will not just be a drive through the park but also an education journey. Experienced guides will tell you interesting stories and share facts about the animals and the landforms.

We offer bus tours and transfers from Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. Contact MoAfrica for our affordable breakaway packages.

Going on safari the MoAfrika way

At MoAfrika, our safari trips start with an early morning departure. Pilanesberg safaris from Johannesburg or Sun City are ideal if you are already in the city, as the park is only a few hours away. After the safari tour departs from Johannesburg, the morning is spent slowly driving around the park seeing as many animals as possible while also learning about the wildlife and the land formations.

The safaris that include more than a day in the park will offer you the best times to go on a drive. Late afternoons are cooler, encouraging animals to come out, while at night the hunters are on the prowl. The unique flora and numerous bird species are also sure to enhance your time in the park.

Whether you choose luxury Pilanesberg excursions or a budget safari, you will be experiencing nature at its wildest. The best safaris are those hosted by the very best tour operators. MoAfrika’s tour operators do at least two-day drives to give guests the opportunity to see those animals that they might have missed. They also know the best routes and the best times to travel through the park.
