Our trip to Pilanesberg was very nice. We did see most of the animals except the big cats - which we were told are present in the National Park. But with animals its hard to predict where they will be and when - which is what makes a safari great! The driver was very nice and courteous throughout the day.

On a business trip, I only had one day off. This is what I spent it on, and I couldn’t have been happier. My guide and safe driver Lucky was knowledgeable about everything from animals to history, and we had interesting conversation during the 2-hour drives to the park and back (and there as well!). It was too hot a day for the lions or leopards to be visible, but we saw pretty much everything else. A great day!
