pilanesberg national park

去的不是时候 由于季节交融 很多动物都迁走了 只看到了羚羊 角马 斑马 大象 鳄鱼 斑马 长颈鹿什么的 本来满心欢喜以为能够看到真正的大猫们 愿望缺落空了 不过 即使这样 也不虚此行

Wow what a fabulous time we had. We went on 5 game drives and saw so much thanks to our fabulous ranger - Izra. He tracked down the big five and has left us with memories that will last forever. We also saw a family of Happy Hippos playing by the water hole and lots of elegent giaffes, lots of Zebras, Waterbuck, Gnus, Gnazoos(!),Springbok, Impala, Red Hartebeest, Mongoose, Hares, a Leopard Tortiose and some beautiful birds. The Ivory Tree Lodge was lovely and clean and staff brilliant and the food delicious and drinks very reasonable with cocktails starting at £3 each! I will recommend to friends and family as this is the place to visit.

We took two drives and managed to see 4/5 Big Five, and although we have no experience with other safari's I was pretty happy with that fact. We also saw a lot of zebra's, impala's, giraffe, .... and met an elephant that threw a small tree to our truck. Good memories!

there were some predictable sightings for elephants, rhinos and giraffeshippos were always there in the pool

One day ride through a small part of the park seeing all the major large animals except cats. Fun for all.

It had been 5 years since we had last visited Pilanseberg and as such due to some of the comments regarding overcrowding, we were unsure what to expect when we returned in February. Pilanesberg is everything we remembered it to be. Compared to Kruger, the roads are still extremely quiet and it never felt over crowded.Pilanseberg Centre offers a very good coffee shop for the much needed caffeine and here you can sit and watch the animals come to the waterhole whilst enjoying a spot of lunch too. The gate fee is very reasonable and we enjoyed our 5 days self driving very much. We saw numerous animals and we're even lucky enough to find a caracal on the way out one evening. Pilanseberg still remains a favourite with us and we won't hesitate to return.

Want to see the Big 5 then Pilanesberg is your spot. This park is big enough to hold a decent amount of wildlife including the Big 5 whilst not having to drive 100s km to see it. Most of the roads are reasonably maintained dirt roads with the primary roads being well maintained bitumen. An SUV for the roads and height when game viewing will pay off. The newly revamped Pilanesberg Centre offers a small shop, curios and restaurant with decent priced food all while watching the wildebeest out front. We have been here a number of times and it always impresses both for its general nature and wildlife. A must do in our opinion.

Did a self drive safari and enjoyed every minute. Easy to navigate with plenty of signs to help find our way with the help of the map which is available at the entry gate. Lots of hides to get out and observe some of the watering holes, saw plenty of wildlife around the park. There is also a pleasant cafe in the park for refreshments.

There is not much to say for the Pilanesberg with the exception that it is one of my favourite places to go to. I love the area, there are always lots of animals around and it is a beautiful place. This time around every animal species had babies and we had a wonderful experience, as always!

The park is situated in an ancient volcanic crater. It has a mixture of tar and dirt roads with a number of game hides where you can get out of your car and sit in a hide an look at the animals. one can travers the Park comfortably in 2 - 3 hours.The bird life is magnificent. The wild game is lovely. The park does not have the quantity of animal herds like the Kruger park etc but it does have the variety. A benefit is that there is no malaria in the area and it is an easy 2 hour drive from Johannesburg.We saw Rhino, elephant, jackal, Hippo, Lion, Giraffe and lots of Buck. A wonderful rest.

Loved the room , the attention and the food.The ranger Mauritz was amazing.Had a massage at the amani Spa, and is one of the best I have ever had. A 5 star experience

We spent four days in the park and went on safari rides almost every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed getting up close and personal with the animals and birds of the area, as well as staying in the midst of it all.

A wonderful experience, great guides from Ivory Tree Lodge, the park is wonderful, with locals and tour operators using the park.

The park was very clean and the signs easy to follow. We were lucky to see Zebra Wart Hogs antelope and Giraffe and numerous beautiful Birds.

Spent a few hours doing a self guided safari and saw everything except for the cats and rhinos. Food at Cafe delicious, maps easy to read and park easy to get around. Came back for a guided tour at dusk and saw rhinos too! Love the scenery and the accessibility of the park. Well worth a visit
