Pilanesberg Game Reserve, formerly Pilanesberg National Park, is both easily reached and malaria-free. And while an African safari in Pilanesberg can't compare to a wildlife expedition in Chobe (Botswana), Seregenti (Tanzania) or even Madikwe it is an ideal destination for families. View animals and birds. The African Big Five - lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, and leopard - are all found here. Take in the breathtaking scenery. Not only does this reserve, 55 000 hectare in size, sit in the crater of a long-extinct alkaline volcano it is fringed by three rings of hills. Don't forget to pack binoculars and camera!
