Moholoholo Forest Camp

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 excellent food and service.  They have a main lodge with a lounge, dining room and bar area.  There is also a 'boma' - an outside room where dinners can be arranged at night by the fire.

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, 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.

Highlights

  • Good quality accommodation at a good price.
  • Easy access to the Panorama Route and to Kruger National Park.
  • Opportunities to get close to wildlife on the Rehabilitation Centre tour.
  • Very good food.
  • Almost guaranteed to see the shy nyala.

Viewpoints

This is a good quality, well-priced lodge which is perfect for anyone wanting a base near the Panorama Route, or as a stop before heading into Kruger. They offer game drives and walks, and whilst they don't have the Big 5, they have good amount of wildlife, even including rhinos.
