EXPLORE HOEDSPRUIT 

Often called the safari capital of South Africa, Hoedspruit borders the Greater Kruger and is just 40 minutes from  the gates of the Kruger National Park and 30 minutes from the Blyde River Canyon. The town has its own airport and offers everything visitors need, including a wide range of accommodation from self-catering tents and cottages to luxury full board lodges set in Big 5 reserves, grocery stores, fuel stations, a private hospital and restaurants, all while still holding onto its small-town atmosphere and strong community spirit.
