Johannesburg Tours & Trips
Ever wondered what safari country looks like near a major city? From Johannesburg, Pilanesberg Game Reserve offers a chance to see the Big 5 in open habitat. Guided drives move through the reserve at a steady pace, while Hartbeespoort Dam adds a quieter stretch of scenery along the way. It’s a straightforward mix of wildlife and nearby landscapes.
