About Pilanesberg National Park

The Pilanesberg National Park Tour offers an unforgettable wildlife experience in one of South Africa’s most accessible game reserves. Pilanesberg National Park is located in an ancient volcanic crater and is home to a rich diversity of wildlife. Today, it is one of the country’s most popular safari destinations due to its proximity to Johannesburg and its malaria-free environment.

Moreover, the park is home to the Big Five, along with giraffe, zebra, hippo, crocodile, and more than 300 bird species. As a result, it provides excellent opportunities for game viewing and photography throughout the year. Therefore, Pilanesberg remains an ideal safari destination for both first-time visitors and experienced wildlife enthusiasts.

Tour Description

Our Pilanesberg National Park Tour is a full-day safari experience that takes you from Johannesburg into the heart of the bushveld. First, you enjoy a scenic drive through the Magaliesberg region, where rolling landscapes and mountain views set the tone for the day. Afterwards, you enter Pilanesberg National Park for a guided game drive in search of Africa’s iconic wildlife.

Along the way, your experienced guide shares insights about the animals, ecosystem, and geological history of the volcanic crater. In addition, you have time to enjoy lunch at a rest area or nearby lodge, depending on the day’s schedule. Therefore, this tour offers a perfect balance of adventure, education, and relaxation.

 Verified Super personalised tour
Having reached out from abroad, Peter from the off-set showed real personal service in wanting to help us achieve our goals for our trip, taking into account personal elements around interest, mobility and complete flexibility. (Others were the opposite). So much so, when in SA, our plans shifted immediately due to a family emergency. Peter immediately rescheduled to suit and adapted the day tour for us. On meeting him in person we were confident in our choice and had a wonderful morning together exploring Soweto, with Peter kindly fetching us from our accommodation and dropping us to meet family. Interesting, patient, informative and kind - highly recommend Peter.

 Verified Excellent, highly recommend!
Fantastic personal Soweto tour. Peter is a delightful, friendly local gentleman full of as much interesting information as you would like to absorb. My daughter and I were were very interested (my teenage son was zoned out on his phone but that wasn't to do with the tour or Peter). We felt safe and well informed. Had opportunity to take plenty of pictures.

 Verified Touring with kindness and knowledge.
The touring experience to Soweto, Johannesburg and Sandton was great and the tour person was very knowledgeable of the history. The price was also fair and reasonable. The time used allowed us to do all the activities we needed.

We traveled with Peter in Johannesburg and Soweto. My wife and I spent an excellent day. Peter knows a lot about history and generously shared his knowledge with us. At the end of the tour, he even helped us look for a suitcase for our trip. Excellent. Highly recommended.

 Verified Fantastic private tour of Johannesburg and Soweto.
Went on a full day tour of Johannesburg and Soweto with Peter. Communications were good and Peter arrived to pick us up from our hotel right on time. Peter was so knowledgeable, having run his own travel business for many years. After touring the main sights and seeing several differing districts of Joburg it was off to Soweto. We had lunch at a local restaurant before going on to see Nelson Mandelas house on other sights in the township. Peter was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble to him.

 Verified An amazing cheetah experience
Peter organised a tour for a group of our friends to de Wildt Cheetah Reserve. Peter and David were gracious hosts, getting us there on time for the early morning Cheetah run. Peter joined in the activities and game drive with us and his gentle and friendly naure added to everybody's experience. I would highly recommend Mashaba Tours.
