Pilanesberg National Park

Pilanesberg National Park is a relatively recent protected area established in 1979 in South Africa’s North West Province. The park is located on an extinct volcano referred to as the Pilanesberg National Park Alkaline Ring Complex, one of the largest volcanic complexes of its type in the world, featuring rare rock types and formations. Further, its position within the transition zone between the Kalahari Desert, an arid savannah, and wetter Lowveld vegetation results in unique overlaps of mammals, birds, and vegetation. Boasting over 7,000 animals in a 550 km² area, Pilanesberg is teeming with an incredible variety of wildlife that makes it a popular ecotourism attraction.
