Lower-risk driving routes in Pilanesberg

Pilanesberg is on the map for the visitors. Sun City, the park gates and the resorts around them draw a steady flow of people who do not know the roads and arrive at odd hours. The map covers the park, Sun City and the towns around the edge of it, along with the roads in from Rustenburg and from the north.

Of the 43 rated areas in Pilanesberg, these are the ones at the highest of the four risk levels, for each of the three times of day. Every figure comes straight from the live database, read on 3 November 2026. The lowest band means an area was checked and carries no routing penalty, which is different from an area we have no data for. A rating describes an area's history of vehicle crime, not what is happening on a street right now: lower risk is not no risk.

What to know on these roads

  1. 01

    Almost everyone arrives on the R565 from Rustenburg or the R510 from the north, often at dusk on the way to a gate that closes. Both are mapped all the way in.

  2. 02

    The roads between the park gates and the resorts are short, but they carry a lot of unfamiliar drivers late in the day. Ratings here change more between day and night than the distances suggest.

  3. 03

    Inside the park the app works as a normal map. The risk data is for the public roads outside the gates.

Tsamaya rates roads and routes. It does not publish a list of neighbourhoods, and the app never labels a place for anyone other than the driver about to pass through it.

Questions

Pilanesberg, asked

The Johannesburg, Rustenburg and Pilanesberg maps cover the start and the end of that trip and the roads on either side of the N4. The open stretches between mapped areas are driven as normal navigation.

Because of the number of visitors who drive in and out of it, many of them at dusk or after dark, on roads they have never used. That is the situation the time-of-day ratings exist for.
