Experience Pilanesberg at Sunset

Escape the city and experience an unforgettable afternoon and evening safari in Pilanesberg National Park. Departing from Johannesburg or Pretoria, this tour takes you into one of South Africa's most popular Big Five wildlife destinations.

The safari takes place in an open safari vehicle, giving you excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography. As the heat of the day begins to fade, animals often become more active and the African landscape changes beautifully in the late-afternoon light.

Pilanesberg is home to elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and many other species of African wildlife. Every safari is different, and wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed — that is part of the excitement of experiencing animals in their natural environment.
