Ready, Set, Game Drive!
Morning and evening guided game drives traverse a private game reserve, a well-protected 1400 hectare sanctuary which offers a safe-haven for black rhino. Drives also venture through the prestigious Leadwood Big Game Estate, which features some of the most breathtaking mountain vistas in the country. Children from the age of 6 onwards are welcome on drives.
Alternatively, experience a day trip to the Kruger National Park, home to the Big 5, a multitude of wildlife species, and a vast selection of fauna and flora, unique to the Lowveld. For children under the age of 6 years old, a private vehicle can be arranged.
Day Trips from Khaya Ndlovu
You could even head out on a day drive to discover the Blyde River Canyon - including Bourke's Luck Potholes, The Three Rondavels, God's Window and the Berlin Falls). If you are in the mood for a bird' s-eye view, we can also arrange a helicopter flight over this incredible area. A Blyde Canyon boat cruise is a fabulous way to explore this scenic area.
Visit the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre and/or the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and be sure to make time to go say hello to Jessica the hippo. Our expert Destination Consultants can arrange the perfect Greater Kruger safari for you.
Eat Well, and have Fun in Hoedspruit
At Khaya Ndlovu, you can expect to eat well, in the most incredible wilderness settings. Dine out under the stars, tuck into bush breakfasts at the Leadwood deck, or arrange for something more private at the secret hide.
During one of your days, we highly recommend slipping off to one of the local bars and restaurants in Hoedspruit. Rub shoulders with the locals at Sleepers Railway Station, or sit down for a superb outdoor lunch at the family-owned Cooked restaurant right at the main entrance.
