The Pilanesberg National Park is a quick 2-hour drive from Johannesburg so if you have limited time or you’re just after a quick adventure to spot the Big 5 in the African bush you can’t go wrong with a 1-day tour with MoAfrika Tours.
Starting out bright and early on a Saturday morning, our group was collected from various pick-up points in Johannesburg and Pretoria by our charismatic driver Sipho ‘Sugar’ Mpobale. Sugar has been a guide for 13 years and has a wealth of knowledge so if you do any of the Johannesburg/Pilanesberg tours with MoAfrika there is a good chance you’ll get to meet him. The drive to the park was filled with chatting and laughter as we eagerly awaited our day in the bush.
