Pilanesberg Big Five Safari Private Day Trip
Full day · ±11 hrsPrivate — just your group
A malaria-free Big Five reserve set in the crater of an ancient volcano, about two and a half hours from Johannesburg. Your guide-driver takes you through the park in your own vehicle — or add an open-vehicle game drive with a park ranger — with lunch inside the park.
