    About Moholoholo Forest Camp

    • Close Panel 

    With a backdrop of the Northern Drakensberg, Moholoholo Forest Camp has a lovely position close to the Panorama Route and also to Kruger National Park.

    The lodge is very well run, and offers good food and service.  They have a main lodge with a lounge, dining room, bar area and photographic hide overlooking a mad-made waterhole.  There is also a 'boma' - an outside room where dinners can be arranged at night by the fire.

    A maximum of 20 twenty guests can be accommodated. They have three different types of room currently - reed, log and solid-walled chalets. All are very comfortable, with en-suite facilities.  Most have a verandah, and the usual facilities such as mozzy nets, towels, overhead fans, tea/coffee, hairdryer and even a safe.

    The activities they offer are game drives, game walks and also tours of the adjacent Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

    This is not truly 'wild' Africa (in that it is a relatively small area of fenced land - about 500 hectares), but it is a really fantastic introduction to the wildlife of the area and for safaris in general.  It is also a very good value lodge, and perfect for families.

    Tribes recommends using Moholoholo Forest Camp for one or two nights, either as a base from which to visit the Panorama Route (you can do a day's tour all around the Blyde River Canyon to see all the sites), or as a night or two before going into Kruger National Park.

    Pricing guidelines for South Africa

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). South Africa combines well with Botswana, Mauritius and Mozambique.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
