Pilanesberg National Park

　　       Nestled around Sun City, Pilanesberg National Park spans 550 square kilometers and is South Africa’s fourth-largest national park. Enter the park in an open safari jeep, and with luck, you may spot the iconic “Big Five” — elephant, lion, leopard, African buffalo, and rhinoceros. But even if these large animals elude you, playful antelopes, silent wildebeests, graceful giraffes, and herds of zebras will make your visit worthwhile.

　　    Recommendations:

　　    1. Visit the park in the evening during the dry season for the best chance to see wildlife. The vegetation is shorter and sparser in the dry season, making animals easier to spot; in the evening, most animals come out to feed or drink water.

　　    2. Waterholes are the best spots to see large gatherings of animals.

　　  　    Food & Drink / Accommodation / Shopping

　　        Food & Drink: Drinks and simple snacks are available at rest stops within the park. The rest stop is a building constructed in 1936 that originally served as a rural courthouse. When the national park was established in 1979, all residents were relocated from the area.

　　Transportation

　　        You must enter the national park by vehicle. You can book day and night safari tours at the Adventure Desk in the Sun City reception center, then take a shuttle bus to the park entrance at the scheduled time.     Park visiting regulations:

　　    1. Do not get out of the vehicle;    

　　2. Do not speak loudly;    

　　3. Do not honk the horn;    

　　4. Do not make sudden movements.    

　　Additionally, a tip of 10 Rand per person should be given to the driver after the tour.
