During the weekend I visited Pilanesberg – a reserve in the North West Province of South Africa. It’s really difficult to describe this experience with words – I think some photos will give you a much better feel for the place.
Here is a short description:
Pilanesberg Game Reserve is in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province, adjacent to Sun City. Set in the crater of a long extinct volcano, the Park ranks among the largest of the parks in South Africa (it is in fact the fourth largest park) and covers an area of 55 000 hectare.
The beauty of Pilanesberg is reflected in a large central lake, the Mankwe Dam.
Over time, wind and water have carved a spectacular landscape with rocky outcrops, open grasslands, wooded valleys and thickets.
Pilanesberg National Park accommodates virtually every mammal of southern Africa. Also home to the Big Five.
Have a look at some photos I took.
