Pilanesberg National Park is set on 50 000 hectares of pristine unspoiled natural beauty, situated in the North West Province. It is located 150 km north west of Gauteng and 60 km north of Rustenburg. The area is world famous geologically and its structure, termed the 'Pilanesberg National Park Alkaline Ring Complex' was formed by volcanic eruptions some 1 200 million years ago.
Apart from its unique size, shape and rock types, the volcanic origin and resultant weathering of the extinct crater has resulted in a wide variety of landscapes and associated vegetation communities. Pilanesberg National Park has the potential to carry a wider variety of game species than any other similar sized game reserve in Southern Africa.
Its potential for supporting rare and endangered species such as Black Rhino, Roan, Sable, Tsessebe, foot-and-mouth free Buffalo and Wild Dog is particularly high. The area has very high game viewing and resource prior to its proclamation as a reserve in 1979.
The Pilanesberg National Park Complex was degraded and depleted of indigenous game populations due to fairly intense settlement by commercial farmers. At considerable expense, the land has been restocked with game, the scars of human settlement were removed. The park is the largest and most expensive game stocking and land rehabilitation project ever undertaken in any African game reserve at the time.
Pilanesberg vaunt of healthy populations of Lion, Leopard, Black and White Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo and a wide variety of rare and common species like the nocturnal Brown Hyaena, the fleet-footed Cheetah, the majestic Sable, Giraffe, Zebra, Hippo and Crocodile and other animals.
