Gate times
Overview
Pilanesberg National Park follows specific gate and camp opening and closing times, which vary monthly based on daylight hours. These times are in place to ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife.
Planning reminders
It’s important to plan your activities and ensure you return to the gates or camps before they close. Failure to do so may result in fines, as staying outside the designated hours increases the risk of wildlife encounters and driving in poor visibility.
