Did you know? Pilanesberg National Park

Pilanesberg National Park sits within an ancient volcanic crater that erupted over 1.2 billion years ago, making it one of the world's oldest and largest meteorite impact sites.

The park was established in 1979 and underwent 'Operation Genesis' in the 1980s, when over 6,000 animals were relocated here to restore the ecosystem from scratch.

Pilanesberg is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) despite being a relatively compact reserve of just 55,000 hectares.

The park's highest point, Pilanesberg Peak at 1,219 metres, offers panoramic views across the crater and surrounding bushveld landscape.

Unlike Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg allows self-drive game viewing on public roads, making it more accessible for independent travellers with rental cars.
