Wildlife Safaris from Sun City, South Africa
BEST
for
KIDS
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve is situated just 15 km (9 miles) from Sun City and its malaria-free. Home to over 300 species of bird and a wide variety of mammals including giraffe, waterbuck, hyena, and, of course, the infamous African Big Five, Pilanesberg is a great place for a family wildlife safari. Safari guides, many of whom operate out of Sun City, offer everything from traditional jeep safaris to elephant treks and bush walks. Hot air balloon trips over the reserve offer a unique wildlife viewing experience. For those wishing to view game on their own, the reserve's more than 200km of well-groomed roads facilitate self-drive safaris.
