Pilanesberg
National Park
Selfdrive
- doing Pilanesberg yourself
You can of course go yourself with a rental car. It's
your cheapest option but you might wonder why
Pilanesberg is rated so highly by South Africans. It must be the landscape
or maybe the plants - 'cause
you couldn't see the buffalo on the left over the grass! And make sure you
have adequate life insurance....
If you don't know what you are doing, my very sound advice is to do at least
1 drive
with a local operator before you head back into the Park and wing it yourself.
Amarula, wanting to mate with 2 French terrified (as they should be) tourists ....Monday 7 Feb 2011. He also put his tusk
through 1 tyre, so they were royally done and dusted. Or rather the rental car company was, as they replaced the car
very early on Tuesday. These idiots apparently didn't move away, same as the 2 local NW pensioners below on the
Thursday who were warned but still tempted fate. If you look you will see the slight yellow urine on the bonnet, as well
as the wet patch at the car's front left wheel. Amarula is clearly in Musth, and if you don't know what this means, then
you shouldn't have been let out....
