Feel the excitement of knowing you are about to take a journey into uncharted areas where it is you and Africa’s most feared creatures by exploring their territory, by their rules. You will be collected from the Hotel by a qualified guide and proceed to the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve that spans an area of 550 square kilometers, the home of the BIG FIVE. Here we will drive around in an open Game Viewer and feel the tension mounting that at any moment just around a corner you could spot a herd of elephant or the king himself the lion or if lucky spot the ever elusive leopard as he lies on a rock or in a tree. The Game drive will last for 6 hours within the reserve and a light lunch at the Pilanesberg Centre will be provided.
Duration of the tour is around 12 hours.

Tim was caring for our well-being from the very beginning when he picked us up from our hotel at night to start the safari at the break of dawn. We did the safari in an open jeep together with Joe who knew everything about the animals he spotted earlier on. Meanwhile Tim took pictures with his high-end camera that he then shared with us after the tour. All in all an exciting experience that we will remember well for a long time :)

Wildside Tours and Safaris came recommended and deservedly so. They compiled a superb 7 day itinerary for our party of four which perfectly met our needs. It was a fantastic mix of the peaceful Mziki private reserve, thrilling Pilanesberg National Park and the fascinating African Hills. Our guide, Mike, hosted us faultlessly. He was knowledgeable, keeping us informed and entertained. I now reckon I can tell my nyala from my kudu and I've learnt so much I might apply for a job writing the wrappers for Chappie chewing gum ???? Seriously, Mike was great company; relaxed, kind and genuine. Thank you so much.
