About this trip

Three days out of Johannesburg covering some of the North-West province's best-known sites, from ancient human history to Big 5 game drives.

You start in Gauteng at the Cradle of Humankind, one of the world's richest fossil sites, before moving on to the Sun City Resort and then into Pilanesberg Game Reserve for wildlife.

It's a good option if you're short on time but want a mix of culture, resort downtime and safari without straying far from O.R. Tambo airport.

What you'll do

  • Visit the Cradle of Humankind fossil site in Gauteng
  • Explore the Sun City Resort
  • Game drives in Pilanesberg Game Reserve with a chance of Big 5 sightings
  • Wildlife and scenery across the North-West province
Good to know
  • Requires a minimum of 2 adults to run
  • Itinerary can change depending on weather and other conditions
  • Bring sun block, a sunhat, walking shoes, binoculars and a camera
