The Pilanesberg Ark

A Profusion of Other Animals

Operation Genesis returned Pilanesberg to a pre-agricultural condition and supported and re-introduced many species quite apart from the ‘first division’ Big 5. They are just as exciting and satisfying to encounter as their more glamorous neighbours. ​ On the ground – giraffe, zebra, cheetahs, hyena, jackals, wild dog, impala, kudu, springbok, wildebeest, water buck and many other antelope. In the trees, baboons and vervet monkeys. In the water – hippopotamus, crocodile and terrapin. In the air, over 300 species of bird ranging from vultures and eagles to kingfishers. ​ Plus, many pretty wild flowers, plants, shrubs, trees and insects. ​
