This book is fi lled with information on the environment, the fl ora & fauna and the practical necessities for staying on and travelling through the National Park. It is also packed with interesting facts about the history and development of the reserve, its geology and ecology. For example, did you know that Pilanesberg is the only nature reserve set in an alkaline ring complex (of which there are only three in the world). An ancient alkaline volcano erupted 1,200 million years ago to form the very hills that form the game reserve as it is today.
