The malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park borders the Sun City entertainment complex and is about a 2 hour drive from Johannesburg.

Covering some 55 000 hectares, Pilanesberg National Park is set in the crater of an extinct volcano and between the dry Kalahari and the moist lowveld which provides a number of interesting habitats.

Home to the 'Big 5' as well as abundant birdlife, this game reserve features some of the country's best animal spotting facilities.  There are numerous hides constructed near watering holes where you are able to watch the wildlife that come to drink.  There is also a walk-in aviary, hot air balloon safaris, elephant back safaris, restaurants and a visitors centre. 

Accommodation in Pilanesberg National Park ranges from camping to 5 star lodges.
