Web Ref #: 569
Price: From R 1625 - R 2165 pppn, fully inclusive
Location: Hectorspruit

It is here that all forms of wildlife are drawn to the riverine habitat to feed and quench their thirst. It is here that the paths of predators and prey cross. It is here that life and death are close companions.

 

It is here that you are assured of a breathtaking wildlife experience.

 

Africa has an old-age rhythm that is experienced through the hospitality of its people.

 

From the first friendly welcome to your journey of discovery through the African bush with an experienced game ranger at your side, to a starlit dinner around a dancing fire in the sociable boma, to the comfortable individually decorated air-conditioned bedroom your experience will be an unforgettable one.

 

And when you take leave of this special corner of Africa you will understand the meaning of true hospitality and yearn to return.

 

You will observe raw Africa in all its magnificence and its many moods.

 

This is Big 5 territory at its best!

 

Finally, as the sun sets over the Kruger National Park at the end of another remarkable day the river will carry your cares away and Africa will be in your blood forever.

 

Accommodation:

 

As the African bush weaves its magic spell your senses will awaken as never before and you will soak up a host of new experiences that will feed your soul.

 

You will listen to the sounds of the African bush... and its deafening silence – a silence that may suddenly be broken by the whooping of hyenas... the reverberating roar of a lion... the grunting of hippos... the trumpeting of elephants... the call of the fish eagle.
