Parco nazionale di Pilanesberg (Pilanesberg Game Reserve)

Il Parco nazionale di Pilanesberg (Pilanesberg National Park) è un'area naturale protetta del Sudafrica ubicata a nord di Rustenburg, nella Provincia del Nordovest. Il parco confina con il complesso di intrattenimento Sun City. Il parco è attualmente amministrato dal North West Parks and Tourism Board.
L'area è circondata da tre creste concentriche o anelli di colline, la cui struttura si erge dalle pianure circostanti. Pilanesberg prende il nome da un capo Tswana, Pilane, il 'Complesso di anelli alcalini di Pilanesberg' è la caratteristica geologica primaria del parco. Questa vasta caratteristica geologica circolare è antica anche per gli standard geologici in quanto è il cratere di un vulcano estinto da tempo e il risultato di eruzioni di circa 1.200 milioni di anni fa. È uno dei più grandi complessi vulcanici del suo genere al mondo, i rari tipi di roccia e le formazioni ne fanno una caratteristica geologica unica. Nel parco si trovano un certo numero di minerali rari.
Sparsi in tutto il parco ci sono vari siti che hanno origine dall'età del ferro e dell'età della pietra e mostrano la presenza dell'uomo di quei periodi in queste aree.

  • The ideal day outing for those looking for a nice bosveld experience. The park is a good size for a short trip, with a lot of game and nice picnic spots. The gravel roads are a bit bumpy for low cars and the main roads have some potholes.

  • Love to come to the bushveld with the big 5. Road are not in a good condition. Potholes. Picnic spots are not maintained very well but still lovely to be in the bush. Picnic spot at Fish Eagle were over crowded during lunch time.

  • After driving the whole day we managed to see one rhino, one warthog, one baboon, few giraffes, couple of zebras, wildebeests, impalas and some other antelopes. Couldn't spot any single elephant (their guide say it should be around 360 of them), no lions, cheetahs, hippos etc. on nice cloudy day. It was amazing how you can drive for many km and no be able to see even a single gazelle. Not sure if we were unlucky or there are just very few animals in Pilanesberg Park. It was also a bit disappointing to realize that the only food available in Pilanesberg center restaurant was horrible boerewors roll. So make sure you bring your own food.

  • Very nice place. Very nice family outing to do. There are a lot of animals and if you take the time and look for the animals as some of them are a distance away for the roads. I would definitely recommend taking binoculars with as it makes it so much nicer finding the animals.
