Why choosing Pilanesberg as your ideal safari destination for a day safari from Johannesburg. If you’re short on time and only have one night to spare, we highly recommend choosing Pilanesberg over Kruger, especially if you’re not flying into Kruger from Johannesburg. It’s the best one-day safari option near Johannesburg, offering exceptional wildlife experiences. Located just 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, Pilanesberg is a Big 5, malaria-free game reserve, making it the perfect choice for families with young children and pregnant travelers who are seeking a safe safari experience.

Travelers will be able to see the beautiful scenery and we drive through.
