About Pilansberg Nature ReserveThe 56 000 ha Pilanesberg National Park, which has Sun City on its border, was officially opened on 8 December 1979. It is the oldest and best known of the North West Parks Board's game reserves. The park, which is almost circular in shape, is situated on the eroded remains of a 1 200 million-year old extinct alkaline volcanic crater the third largest
of its kind in the world. The rounded hills and open plains support a diverse range of vegetation types.
In the early 1980's, the park was restocked with almost 6 000 animals of 21 species during Operation Genesis the
largest ever game translocation exercise at that time.
