About North West

Pilanesberg sits in an ancient volcanic crater about 2 hours from Joburg. Big Five, good roads, and Manyane Resort has a proper caravan park with power and ablutions. Sun City is next door if the kids want waterslides. Madikwe on the Botswana border is mostly lodges, but there are caravan options in the surrounding area, it's a quieter, more remote experience. The Magaliesberg valley has family resorts, hiking trails, and hot air balloon rides. Hartebeespoort Dam is the classic weekend spot, busy, but there's a reason everyone goes.
