Walk for 4 hours through the South African bush and observe the animals that live there on this guided bush walk safari in the Pilanesberg National Park!

Just a 2-hour drive from Pretoria and 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, the Pilanesberg National Park offers 550 km² of unspoilt space for more than 50 species of large mammals, as well as many smaller species. It is located in an ancient volcanic crater with an exceptional environment, offering breathtaking landscapes between bush and mountains, as well as several waterholes, including Mankwe Dam. It is a must for any safari near Johannesburg! And did you know? You can also go on a walking safari in the Pilanesberg National Park!

Much more immersive and authentic than a game drive, a walking safari in the Pilanesberg National Park allows you to search for animals while taking the time to follow their tracks through footprints, dung, etc. There is no road to follow but just your professional guide who will show you the way through the bush while giving you lots of interesting explanations about the park's flora and fauna. Thanks to him, you will have a great chance of spotting wild animals on your walking safari in the Pilanesberg National Park! Zebras, elephants, giraffes, wild dogs, impalas and more. If you are lucky enough to find them, you will take the time to observe them discreetly from a distance so as not to disturb them and to ensure your safety.

A real adventure in the heart of the South African wilderness awaits you on this guided walking safari in the Pilanesberg National Park. So don't forget to wear good walking shoes and bring your binoculars to make the most of your opportunities to observe the local wildlife! Note that if you would like to take part in this kind of experience but as a family with children under 16, you can book the guided walking safari in Letsatsing, which is open to all ages.
