Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate Accommodation

How to Get to Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate

Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is 645 hectares of pristine wilderness for exclusive residential use in Hoedspruit, Limpopo. It's just over 2 hours driving up north along the R40 from Nelspruit (Mbombela) around the Klein Drakensberg mountains. From OR Tambo you take the N12 east and carry on straight on the N4 , turn north on the R540 and it will carry you over the mountains, changing in Lydenburg to the R36 and the R537 for the final few kilometres. The journey take about 5 hours, be sure to stop in Dullstroom for a coffee and pancakes rather than Alzu, and covers a lot of famous routes from the voortrekker days.

Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate's Animals and Activities

Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is fenced in securely and it monitored 24/7 by a private security force. The fences are in fact more for protection from animals than from people as Hoedspruit is in fact one of the safest places in the country thanks to our Town Watch. The fences prevent big game, such as lions and elephants, from crossing the boundary into the Wildlife Estate and keep in the plains game. You can expect to see impala, warthog, zebra, giraffe, nyala, kudu and a few sable have been recently introduced!

On the estate itself you can walk, cycle and run on the various routes through the bush which are all marked or you could even sign up for a horse ride with the estate's Equestrian Centre. Going on a game drive on the estate is also possible but we recommend organizing yours at one of the nearby Estate's with big game, most accommodations will be happy to help you with all activities. Outside of the estate in town you can go hot air ballooning, quad biking, go for a boat cruise or even a helicopter flip. If you're willing to travel a bit further there's the Panorama Route, Pilgrims Rest, Magoebaskloof white water rafting and of course a hundred divine restaurants and bars in-between it all.
