Where you’ll be

Hoedspruit, Limpopo, South Africa

N.B. The road into the game reserve is a dirt road. It is possible to negotiate it with most vehicles, but recommended that you do not arrive in smaller size cars. A low end SUV with normal 2-wheel drive but better clearance to the ground is a cost-effective alternative; also good for game viewing tours. Intermediate SUV such as Hyundai IX35, Toyota RAV, or similar.
