Located in the North-West province of South Africa, north of Rustenburg, the Pilanesberg Reserve is a privileged stop for discovering the wildlife and emblematic landscapes of the country. You explore a preserved natural environment here, conducive to observing and understanding local ecosystems.

Nestled in the heart of an ancient alkaline volcanic crater, one of the rare ones in the world, the reserve reveals reliefs marked by rocky ridges and open panoramas. This singular setting attracts both nature enthusiasts and photography lovers.

Pilanesberg also stands as a successful animal reintroduction project. You can observe the Big Five there, as well as varied fauna composed of cheetahs, giraffes, hippopotamuses and crocodiles. The site's ornithological richness, with nearly 360 bird species, also makes it a popular place for birdwatchers.
