Experience Overview:
Safari Cape Town Day Trip Big 5 Pilanesberg Reserve Inc FlightsThere are no real safari venues near Cape Town as it is climatically unsuitable to support a free-roaming wildlife area with large predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. There are some places that are more like zoos . The Pilanesberg is a National Reserve and has free roaming over 80 lion 1000+ elephant 100's of rhino, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and over 10,000 various antelope and other animals. This is a private safari with our highly experienced wildlife guide. We use a large high seated vehicle with opening large windows which is perfect for animal viewing and photography but still very comfortable for getting you from and back to the airport. If you want to add an open safari vehicle (OSV) then we can arrange this too. Spend at least 5 hours on a safari, reaching distant parts of the reserve. You will see many wild animals, perhaps the Big 5, and eat lunch at a Bakubung safari lodge, with wild animals close by in view. It will complete your real African experience!

In Cape Town, or nearby there is, unfortunately, no real African safari experience available. It is impossible for the animals to survive there, free-roaming, in sufficient quantities to feed the predators like lions cheetahs, hyenas. Flying up to Pilanesberg for the day is a great solution. It is a true African wilderness 600 sq km in size situated in the remains of an ancient volcano. There are thousands of animals of all kinds, including all the Big 5 and the iconic animals of Africa. The number of free-roaming lions is in excess of 80 or so and the other big cat's leopard and cheetah are there too. Our guide will meet you at the airport off your flight from Cape Town (included) and take you to Pilanesberg for your 5-hour safari and then back to the airport. The trip includes lunch at a safari lodge with views of a waterhole where the animals drink.It is a long day but worth it rather than a disappointing experience closer to Cape Town. You will get back to Cape Town late but happy.
