From the game, we found many animals, but for big 5 we found only 3 (Leopard, Elephant, Rhino). However, our driver, Lethabo, he is an experienced driver with lot of knowledge. He tried very hard to find the places where we might see Lion and Buffalo. Anyhow, it was a great experience and exciting day.

The wildlife is abundant
The roads are in horrific condition and beyond repair. I would not recommend traveling with a standard sedan. Pilanesberg Center is a must see. Road from Bakgatla needs a complete redo. Wildlife is abundant. Pilanesberg WAS the crown jewel of the North West province. I assume mismanagement and incompetence being the reason for the decline of this once wonderful park. At least the Wildlife is still there.

Amazing Days and Nights
Since we were staying in and flying out of Johannesburg, we chose the closer Pilanesberg over Kruger NP so we would have more time viewing animals and less time driving in the two days we had for the safari. It did not disappoint us at all. We travelled extensively through the park and especially enjoyed when our guide Shade took us to the less explored areas where there were fewer people, beautiful views, and interesting animals. In our two days which included evening and early morning exploration, we checked off all the Big 5 and so much more! We watched a pride of lions hunt and succeed in securing a meal, watched the elusive cheetah have a morning drink at the waterhole, and adorable baby elephants. I'm sure some of the larger parks may have a more wild feel and vibe, but we were very happy with our experience in Pilanesberg!

Greatest experience of my life can do it again with my family and friends without a second thought.
The experience was truly and amazing one going back
The toilets in the park is disgusting.
It is an embarrassment to see that they take tourist to the bathroom in the game park. It is disgusting how dirty they are.
