Pilanesberg covers an area of 50 000 hectares or 500 km square. This unique area is encircled by four rings of hills, a geologically fascinating alkaline complex(one of the largest of its kind in the world ) which was produced by volcanic action some 1 200 years ago.

The day starts with a early morning game drive - the best time of the day to find animals - our route takes us on all 4x4 roads stopping @ waterholes & hides.
