Ascot Tours is proud to present Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City as one of Southern Africa’s most exclusive luxury travel offerings. Located just over two hours’ drive from Johannesburg, this destination is uniquely positioned to offer your clients the best of both worlds: Big Five safaris in a malaria-free reserve and championship golf at world-famous courses.
Located in the crater of an ancient volcano, Pilanesberg National Park spans over 55,000 hectares of diverse terrain and is one of South Africa’s most accessible malaria-free Big Five reserves. With over 7,000 animals, including lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo, Pilanesberg offers guests an authentic safari experience just a short drive from Johannesburg or Sun City.
Pilanesberg itself doesn’t have golf courses within the park boundaries, but adjacent Sun City Resort hosts two of the most celebrated courses in Africa. Both are designed by legendary golfer Gary Player and are suitable for both amateur and seasoned golfers. Pilanesberg and Sun City offer a unique, upmarket niche in Southern Africa’s luxury travel scene. By combining game drives, 5-star safari lodges, and elite-level golf, Ascot Tours provides a signature product that is easy to sell and hard to forget.
