Pilanesberg Safaris and Tours

As a responsible tour operator, Pilanesberg Safaris and Tours actively boycotts ALL "commercial" predator breeding and wildlife petting facilities, believing wildlife should be wild and this is what we will show you! We are a dynamic, passionate, up-and-coming company specialising in tours and safaris in Pilanesberg National Park since 2007. The proximity of this park to the hub of the Gauteng metropolis makes for an ideal safari and wilderness experience in easy reach for a day or few.

Wild Cave Adventures

Abseil in through the roof of a cavern used on the reality show, "The Amazing Race", dressed in overalls, helmets and torches. Spend 1.5 - 2 hours on an underground adventure by torchlight with highly experienced and knowledgable guides. All Wild Cave Adventures sites are within a 40 minute drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage area. Booking is always necessary to secure a place on an adventure. On booking, final details are sent through with where to meet, what to bring and what to wear to make the trip enjoyable. Excursions run all year round - daytime and early evening twilight tours available where the group come out to a starry sky and optional pizza delivery afterwards. No previous experience is needed but all adventurers should be able-bodied, reasonably fit and keen to try something different! Young adventurers, from the age of 8 -16 years of age, are most welcome to join specific adventures that are tailor-made for them at a special price.
