I was in Joburg on business and on a weekend I booked a guided tour to Pilanesberg NP with Felleng and was not disappointed...it was an absolutely fantastic day out! You will ideally need a 4x4 vehicle for some of the tracks off the main roads - our tour vehicle was as are many of the guided tour vehicles . We were fortunate to see 4 of the Big Five (lion, elephant, cape buffalo, white rhino) which was incredible along with hippo, warthog, impala, springbok, zebra, giraffe, hyena, many other types of antelope I cannot remember all the names of and numerous birds. Unfortunately the leopard and cheetah eluded us, but to compensate we saw a rhino and her calf cross the road immediately in front of our vehicle, a pride of lions on a kill and the elephants even put on a show at the watering hole near the Pilanesberg Centre. Other reviews I've read complain about not seeing a lot of animals and about the roads...it isn't a zoo and is therefore not predictable. You may not be as lucky as we were! And about poachers...unfortunately the park, like many in Africa, is not immune to poachers who have only recently killed 2 rhino for their horns. In summary, it is only 2 hours drive from Joburg and a fantastic way to spend a day or weekend if you appreciate nature.

if you wanna be in the calm place and good rest under the sun it is very better than the pool in the palace hotel and the beach of waves of valley, if you stay in the palace hotel the cost is 50round and if no 100 round, there is a bar inside with good services.

Visiting Sun City for the first time we really enjoyed the Maze, in particular the bar at the end of the maze. This is a well-maintained maze. It was quiet during our visit, which I think made the experience better. It was a very hot day when we were at Sun City so the drinks at the end were very enjoyable, particularly the beer sampler board!
