An early morning departure from Johannesburg or Pretoria ensures that we maximise our time in the North West Province. 

The geology of the Pilanesberg is fascinating, and the wildlife often a little skittish. Binoculars are supplied and after a 3 hour game drive in an air-conditioned vehicle, we make our way to Sun City where we enjoy a light lunch, and an orientation tour of the resort complex.
Guests are then free to spend time at leisure before departing back to Johannesburg or Pretoria. 

The Pilanesberg National Park is situated in the crater of an extinct volcano that literally blew its top off about 1300 million years ago and is the largest alkaline volcanic crater in the world.

The hills of the Pilanesberg seen from the air form an almost perfect circle of concentric rings like the ripples of water in a pond. In 1979 this game reserve saw the largest translocation of game undertaken to date, Operation Genesis, when hundreds of animals were brought to the reserve to restock it. This was the beginning of the Pilanesberg National Park and today it is a well stocked reserve with more that 7000 head of game showcasing most of the mammal species South Africa has to offer including the Big 5. Being in a transition zone biome, you can also see our National Animal, the Springbuck at this reserve.

It is also popular with birders who can enjoy 350 bird species in the park.

Sun City is the brainchild of South African resort whiz, Sol Kerzner. It was built in what used to be the so-called independent homeland of Bophutatswana and remains on of our country's main tourist attractions.

Despite the obvious bling and casinos it has a lot to offer the visitor and is worth the visit. The valley of the waves is the most popular day visitor attraction and thrills with its man made beach and waves and many water slides.
