Limpopo
An experience that is a must for any nature-lover: seeing the Big 5 in their natural habitat.
This is what the iconic Kruger NP is famous for. An abundance of wildlife means you are more than likely to spot lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Marakele NP, in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, has become a "place of sanctuary" for an impressive variety of wildlife. Discover an ancient African Kingdom, Southern Africa's first, established at Mapungubwe Hill between 1200 and 1290 AD.
Our tours allow you access to remote areas in national parks and reserves that are not frequently visited. The surrounding wilderness, the remoteness and the seclusion of travelling through rarely seen areas are the main attraction of our tours.
A qualified 4x4 and overlanding adventure guide will lead the trail and will also assist with 4x4 aspects when necessary. The tour is aimed at true nature lovers and ones who enjoy the wilderness and is not designed as an obstacle course or endurance test.
You will drive your own 4x4 vehicle and you must make provision for your own provisions, including tents and camping gear, sufficient supply of water, firewood and food.
You will visit the following national parks.
Marakele National Park - The Marakele National Park in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains, as its Tswana name suggests, has become a "place of sanctuary" for an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the transitional zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa.
All the large game species, from elephant and rhino to the big cats, as well as an amazing variety of birds including what is probably the largest colony of endangered Cape vultures (more than 800 breeding pairs) in the world, have settled here.
Mapungubwe National Park - Discover an ancient African Kingdom, Southern Africa’s first, established at Mapungubwe Hill between 1200 and 1290 AD. Home to a powerful tribe that flourished on trading with Eastern cultures such as China and India, Mapungubwe saw the rise and fall of this great civilisation more than 700 years ago.
This is where archaeologists excavated the famous golden rhino and other evidence of a wealthy African kingdom.
Kruger National Park - situated in north-eastern South Africa, is one of Africa’s largest game reserves. Its high density of wild animals includes lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes.
Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, including diverse bird species such as vultures, eagles and storks.
Mountains, bush plains and tropical forests are all part of the land-scape.
