Pilanesberg camping Safari from Johannesburg
Overview
What to expect on this overnight safari?
It may at first seem like South Africa’s largest botanical garden but we promise you that there are animals lurking around nearly every bush. The tour includes over 12 hours of game drives where you will get the opportunity to view the wild animals in their natural environment.
How we roll? We make use of proper canvass tents that just ooze ‘safariness' and include comfortable camping stretchers with a mattress. And just to make sure you don’t lose touch of those creature comforts, we even have a bedside light, duvets and fluffy white pillows. The rest of the camp comprises of a cooking/mess/communal tent. The traditional dinners are served under the stars next to roaring camp fire.

It was absolutely amazing. We got to have a private tour the first day. Our guides were amazing. We went in the dead of winter in SA but the tent was like glamping.

great way to experience a real south african safari!!! We spent 2 days in the pilanesberg with the team at south africa adventures. We opted for the tented camping option. We loved it. Sleeping in tents and siting around a fire in the night with good people is exactly what we wanted. We got to see many animals on the safari in the pilanesberg with our dedicated ranger. The group was small which we also liked. Great value for money. Everything was included from transfers from johannesburg, meals, safari and drinks.
