The views from 18 On The Hill are truly spectacular. There are few places in the Greater Kruger that offer such an exceptional, uninterrupted landscape. Every sunrise and sunset here feels like a privilege. ✨

Dear Africa friends!
Meanwhile you can book 3 lodges in Africa through me at a special price. Two in Greater Kruger and one, and it's brand new, at Tuli Block in Botswana. All 3 lodges are special and personally chosen by me because they are simply special.
All my friends and members of SA travel forum will get the discount. the German Kruger group. In total, Naledi and ndzuti have already been booked through me 40x and so far I haven't heard anything negative!
I myself don't deserve any of this. The owners of the lodges just want to offer you the special at a good price.

Naledi Bush Camp https://naledigamelodges.com/.../attachment/bush_camp_pool/
Been there for 15 years and almost every year. Kjell, the owner, and I connect a lot. Naledi is a luxury lodge in an area with a lot of animals. A classic Big5 Lodge. The guides and, importantly, the chefs, have largely been there for many years and some I have known for 15 years. The fluctuation there is near zero. Kjell gives his employees a pretty big hand. Everyone who works there has a lot of self confidence. This lodge breathes Africa! The food is amazing, the service is unbeatable, the guides are knowledgeable and committed. There are different rooms. From something simple to luxury, partly with an outdoor shower and private, small pools. They also take children there and there is a matching double bungalow. The camp is completely fenced in, but the fence is flat and is barely visible. The Game Drives are made in new Toyotas, which are very luxuriously equipped. Usually only 6 persons. / vehicle. Families with small children will get, if possible, their own car. Daily Nightdrive, 2h Hike and Hide included in the price. This is unique.
The lodge is approx. 45mins from Hoedspruit Airport. Arrive with transfer or rental car.
Discount 10-12%!

https://ndzutibushcamp.com/
Different from Naledi. The camp is more basic. Tent camp clean. But incredibly personally guided. Judy and Sabre with her husband (one of the best hiking guides in Kruger and one of the few with a license for weeks-long tours) make the camp a small gem. Great gamedrives, often with Big5, the Sabre almost always drives in person. Sabre is not only the prettiest female guide in Kruger, but definitely the best. Food is great but more home cooking. Almost always prepared over an open fire. The tents have very good beds with good linen. Each tent has its own bathroom, but that is open outside and upstairs. No air conditioning! Mini swimming pool. Not fenced in! Not suitable for small children. Elephants at the watering hole almost daily. Lions or wild dogs at the camp. The price is extremely good and worth every penny, plus you'll get a 10% discount through me. From Hoedspruit Airport approx. 60 mins.
3. Tuli Wilderness, Serolo Camp. https://tulitrails.com/?page_id=38
New at my lodges. Julie and her husband give you a fantastic 15% discount. Admittedly, the camp is not that easy to reach, approx. 8h-10h drive, but the border crossing is new and finished in 10 min. You can also get picked up at the border. The roads there are wide, but quite rough. Basically possible with any car, but I recommend an SUV in any case. Serolo is comfortable, the location is a dream, the entire staff full of joy. Very good food. The camp is located in the middle of nowhere, the gamedrives take place in a landscape that brings tears to your eyes from quietness and beauty. The camp is not fenced and is regularly visited by elephants, leopards and lions! Not suitable for children under 12 in any case. I also recommend it to new Africans only conditionally. Tuli wilderness is true wilderness! Watering hole with leopard (often) right in front of the terrace, lots of birds, elephants crossing Limpopo. Leopards, lions, lots and lots of antelopes (Elands! ). The landscape with so many animals is simply unique. Huge area that is completely privately owned. You often don't see a single other vehicle.
However: there are no rhinos, no buffalo, no wild dogs, but brown hyenas (best place in the world). No air conditioning, no glass windows. but great beds, super nice bathroom, everything extremely spacious. And some long distances will be covered. The roads are hardly recognizable as such, stony, sandy and in some parts extremely steep. 100% African now. Only 6pers at most. /Car. Small pool available. The unbeatable PLV! Accessible by car or transfer (really expensive) from Joh, but an overnight stay is recommended.
All 3 camps are great for connecting!
If you are interested, please write to me directly. I have no financial benefits or interests!
