Pilanesberg National Park Lodges

Nestled in the crater of a long-extinct volcano is Pilanesberg National Park (also known as Pilanesberg Game Reserve). With some of the best game viewing in the country and spectacular scenery to boot, this is one of the most beautiful destinations in South Africa. Overflowing magma, wind, water, and time has shaped Pilanesberg National Park into a dramatic landscape of rocky outcrops, open grasslands, wooded valleys and thickets. Set in an ancient volcanic crater, the reserve is teeming with wildlife (including the iconic Big 5) that regularly congregates around Mankwe Dam.
