Pilanesberg National Park

Pilanesberg National Park features rugged landscape, well-watered valleys and attractive dwelling sites making it a preferred location for human settlement for thousands of years.

Prior to its proclamation as a reserve in 1979, the Pilanesberg National Park Complex was degraded and depleted of indigenous wildlife populations due to fairly intense settlement by commercial farmers, then at considerable expense, the land was restocked with the game, the scars of human settlement removed and tourism infrastructure developed during the first 15 years, constituting the most extensive and expensive game stocking and land rehabilitation project ever undertaken in any African game reserve.
