The Pilanesberg National Park is home to Golden Leopard Resorts; a convenient 2 hours drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria and the ever-popular Sun City only 20 minutes away. Both Manyane and Bakgatla Resorts offer the keen outdoor enthusiast superb accommodation in Chalets and Tents or well equipped Caravanning and Camping facilities. Nestled in the North West Province, this area was proclaimed as a National Park in 1979, covering an area of 55 000ha. It has been restocked with most of the species that inhabited the area in the late eighteenth century including the majestic "Big Five". One of the most advantageous aspects of Pilanesberg is that it is situated within a malaria- free belt.
