“The hippopotamus’s day is passed in sleep; at night he hunts”. Too true. Too true. So, keep your eye out for elephants by day, hippos by night.
If you stay at base, the Shangaan River Club does an evening of traditional song and dance, led by local peformers. They also host “Bridge Dinners” – so you can experience the Sabie River at night. Or, forget all that and just hide in a hammock by the pool.
If you want to venture out there’s masses to do in the Lowveld and Kruger National Park. Hippo Hollow can help to book excursions and if flying high’s your thing, Mpumalanga Helicopter Company is on the Hippo Hollow Estate.
There’s the whole Panorama Route to explore or you could head to Blyde River Canyon.
Elephant Whispers is a place to see elephants- they have six tamed and trained elephants who have been rescued from planned game reserve culling operations.
Perry’s Bridge Reptile Park is popular as is the Cheetah Project Tour.
The Lowveld is also a haven for adrenalin junkies - activities include microlighting, rafting, wall climbing and an aerial cable trail.
For kids, there’s paint balling, inflatable kayaking and quad biking.
There are also full day, morning, afternoon and sunset game drives available at a range of prices.
