Hoedspruit is the place to be!

A Greater Kruger safari is an experience like no other

When it comes to a superlative safari experience that’s both affordable and thrilling, African Trilogy has you covered, thanks to its wonderful properties in Hoedspruit – South Africa’s Big Five safari capital.

With Nyala Safari Lodge and Nyala Sands located just out of town and part of the Balule Private Nature Reserve that’s open to the Kruger National Park and the beautiful eKhaya Bush Villa on Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, you know your African Trilogy safari is going to be amazing!

WELCOME TO HOEDSPRUIT – A WILDLIFE HAVEN

Hoedspruit is a wonderful, friendly little town that sits in the shadow of the towering peaks of the Northern Drakensberg Escarpment. This is the gateway to the Greater Kruger, with so much to see and do in the area that your safari experience is one of the best in the country.

The spectacular scenery and attractions of the fabled Panorama Route are a short drive away and the Blyde River Canyon – the world’s fourth largest green canyon – is on your doorstep. This makes the area perfect for exploring with hiking and mountain biking an absolute must.

Take a scenic cruise on the Blyde Dam, ascend to the top of Mariepskop and marvel at the incredible views out over the South African lowveld and the Greater Kruger region or go on a quad bike adventure at Franklin Park with its wonderful scenery of the mountains.

OUR PROPERTIES

All of our properties are available on an exclusive-use, self-catering basis, which means  you effectively make them your home from home in the African bush and take advantage of the fact that your African Trilogy safari will be exclusive, private and alongside people you know and love.

Just a half-hour drive out of Hoedspruit are Nyala Safari Lodge and Nyala Sands, both of which are located in the heart of Big Five country overlooking the seasonal Mohlabetsi River. These wonderful  lodges are small and intimate and make the perfect escape for groups of friends and extended families travelling together.

Our friendly staff are on hand to help prepare your food should you wish, and you’ll enjoy two incredible game drives each day, exploring the African wilderness and spotting iconic wildlife species as you do so.

At eKhaya Bush Villa life is equally relaxed as you enjoy the comforts of this luxurious home on Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, just a few minutes from town but a world away from town life! With a variety of wildlife literally on your doorstep you are able to enjoy walks in the bush, mountain bike trails, horse-riding, game drives and birdwatching without even leaving the estate!

You set the pace for your safari – choosing what activities you want to do and when you want to do them. This way your relaxation and “we” time is guaranteed!

GUIDED GAME DRIVES

Experiencing the Greater Kruger wilderness is top of the list on an African Trilogy safari. And the best way to do this is on guided game drives in open safari vehicles. At Nyala Safari Lodge and Nyala Sands game drives take place twice a day, early in the morning and in the late afternoon.

Morning game drives head out just as the sun is beginning to rise to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and to see what has happened during the night… Have the lions made a kill? Was there a leopard close to the lodge? Will the elephants be at the waterhole? All of these things will be revealed as dawn breaks over the African bush.

You’ll stop en-route for coffee so why not bring some muffins, rusks and cookies with you to nibble on? You’ll be back at the lodge in time for a late breakfast and some rest and relaxation, heading out again in the mid-afternoon to explore the wilderness once more. This time your game drive is special as it includes some exploration after the sun sets with the help of a spotlight to help find nocturnal species.

Our safari guides are passionate, knowledgeable and experienced, ensuring you have a wonderful time and learn as much as possible on your game drives.

At eKhaya Bush Villa we can arrange morning and afternoon guided game drives on a local private Big Five game reserve as well as full-day guided safaris in the Kruger National Park.
