Location : Pilanesberg, Bojanala Municipality, North West Province, South Africa Website : https://www.pilanesbergnationalpark.org/ The Pilanesberg National Park is located north of Rustenburg in the North West Province of South Africa. The park owes its existence to a rehabilitation project which started in 1979, and the subsequent Operation Genesis, which introduced game animals of various species. It constitutes the fourth biggest game reserve in South Africa, and has become a popular wildlife destination due to its relative proximity to Gauteng. The park is administered by the North West Parks and Tourism Board, while concessionaires operate its rest camps, bush lodges and lodges. In the south it borders on the Sun City entertainment complex.
