The stunning Pilansberg Game and Nature Reserve. We went to Pilansberg again in January 2007 and had a fabulous time! I actually had my birthday here and a better present I could not have asked for!
Pilansberg is a neighbour of Sun City and the Lost City.
The park has over 200km of good dirt roads, so one feels confident as a driver to self-drive. They have guided day and night tours too.
The park is actually in the setting of an extinct volcano... with many rare types of plant life and rocks structures, with some minerals found too, it is studied by scientists and geologists from all over the world.
In the park you will find a number of Iron and Stone Age sites... very exciitng!
The whole park is bordered by 3 ridges/rings of hills. This structure of the park is named the 'Pilanesberg National Park Alkaline Ring Complex'.
Its vegetation is 'bushveld', settled inbetween the dry Kalahari desert and the more lush 'lowveld'.
Their bird hides are little gems. Leave a Comment

The Lost City consists of a stunning fairytale hotel, and a waterworld-wonderland. There is a fake sea (with real beach sand and rolling waves), rapids, quite a few water rides etc. A lot of fun for adults and children alike.
You can only get into the Valley of the Waves if you pay an extra fee as a Sun City Hotel day visitor/resident (this fee differs, depending on what package you take and the number of people in your party), or as a Lost City Hotel resident (where this is included in your hotel fee).
This park lies over 25 hectares, and consists of a jungle, adventure areas, water fetaures and a man made beach with mechanically operated waves (they roll as normal waves do).
They have qualified lifeguards on duty all the time and security is great. You can rent a locker for your possessions if you want to go on water rides too. Leave a Comment

Visit Madikwe Game Park where they have the Big Five to show you.
This is a private reserve of about 75 000 hectares, and costs more than the National Parks, like Kruger Park, but is a particularly nice reserve.
There are many things to do here, but 5 of the biggies they offer here are:
Open vehicle game drives, night drives, guided bush walks, birdwatching and conferencing.
They cater for corporate parties too, and, in this gorgeous wildlife environment, what could be better for a work weekend away?
This reserve is malaria free - which is a HUGE bonus! Leave a Comment

Easily driveable from Johannesburg (2 hours drive), this is a lovely day outing/week end getaway for the family, or with friends.
There is a bus service that operates from some Johannesburg hotels too. I have taken the one from Sandton Sun Intercontinental before. Leave a Comment

 Mieliefields by MikeAtSea
The town is the centre of a rich and progressive farming community. Saltpans, that can be found all over the district, make a major contribution to the salt production of the country.
Agricultural activities in the area is mainly maize, sunflower, sorghum and groundnuts. Cattle and sheep farming is also practiced in the area.
The Dutch Reformed Church in Maun Street is a national monument and was designed by Gerhard Moerdyk. The Earth Satellite Station was erected in 1998 to improve telecommunications in southern Africa. Leave a Comment

 The name giver of Coligny
- Admiral Gaspard de Col by MikeAtSea
At first sight, Coligny gives the impression of being just another dusty, windswept village - forgotten in the mists of time and bypassed by modern life. In a way it has retained its "olde worlde" character, but it hides a wealth of history and fascinating character. Leave a Comment Directions: Coligny is situated in the central part of the North West Province on the road to Lichtenburg
