Gateway to the world famous Kruger National Park. This has always been "Big game country" where disease prevented the encroachment of the country's cattle industry into this pristine game rich area. Many of the famous ivory hunters and early wagon traders operated in this area leaving behind them many legends and countless books about their adventures. While hunting in the Hoedspruit area, we will be based at Gwalagwala tented camp on the banks of the Klaserie River. You can enjoy the atmosphere of camping without sacrificing any of our modern day comforts.
