Game Reserves & National Park
Staying in Kruger National Park or one of the surrounding private game reserves is ideal during a visit to South Africa. Safari and Game lodges range from artistically elegant to super luxurious. Expert game rangers whisk you off on game drives and walking safaris, tracking the wildlife in their natural habitat.
Bonlati Game Ranch. - Just north of the Great Drakensberg Mountains, in the scenic low veldt region near to the world renowned Kruger National Park, lies the Bonlati Game Ranch. A farm 800 hectares in size, set aside to accommodate the breeding of certain rare species such as:
icon  Buffalo |  icon  White Rhino, |  Tsessebe | Sable Antelope
They offer the tourists the opportunity to relax in the unspoiled African bush, go on game drives, enjoy sun downers in the bush. A place to really unwind. A place where the night skies are punctuated with the eerie cries of jackals, the frenzied barking of baboons being attacked by a leopard, and, of course, the roar of well fed lions.
Don't Forget, bring plenty of film (not just one), camera, binoculars, sunglasses, flashlight "Please don't step on any of the creatures or injure yourself", sun tan lotion, hat. Generally cool comfortable informal clothing is needed, but also please pack warm clothing, as some of our drives at night or early morning can be chilly. Comfortable walking shoes are needed.
