The Great North Road from Pretoria was first carved by the creaking wheels of ox wagons. Today, when you follow the footsteps of the Voortrekkers, you will travel on fast, safe roads and enjoy every modern amenity as you go.
This land of legend, ruins and relics abounds in ancient forests, sparkling trout waters, hot mineral springs and waterfalls. Much of it has remained unchanged for centuries, offering unlimited opportunities for the enjoyment of untamed Africa. The northern section of the Kruger National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephant and buffalo, significant numbers of tsessebe and sable and a rich bird life. On the parks western border, excellent privately owned game reserves offer luxurious, air-conditioned accommodation and day and night game viewing in open 4X4 vehicles. The mountainous area of the Waterberg is also home to numerous game reserves, providing a rewarding experience of wilderness country.
The Soutpansberg range, one of the loveliest regions of the country, should be explored at leisure by following at least one of the forest trails. Beyond the mountains, mopane trees and giant baobabs dominate the plains sweeping northward to Zimbabwe. Many natural heritage sites in the area are accessible to visitors.
