Tip from tour guide
Yves and I went to Pilanesberg National Park, which is located near this vacation rental. It was a great day to learn about the flora and fauna. The landscape is home to iconic creatures such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, and hippos, as well as the blooming bush lillies, which captured our imagination.
