What you'll see and do
We would depart Johannesburg or Pretoria very early in the morning at 6 am and drive for about 2 and half hours to Pilanesberg National Park which is located next to Sun city in the North west province of South Africa. On our arrival at the park, we would meet the local guide and participate on a 3 hours safari drive in the greater Pilanesberg National park. Pilanesberg National park covers 55.000 hectares and is surrounded by mountain which has been formed by a volcanic eruption million years ago. It is the fourth biggest park in South Africa and it is the home of the big five. Pilanesberg is located between two vegetation types which are dry Kalahari and the Lowveld vegetation which makes it a great habitat for many different types of animals.

Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How much does Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg cost?
+
Prices start at R 4,950 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg?
+
Included: Entrance Fees; Tour guide; Lunch; and Transportation. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 462 listed pickup locations in and around Johannesburg. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Pilanesberg Full Day Game Drive from Johannesburg?
+
