LODGES
Moholoholo Forest Camp
Moholoholo nestles on the slopes of the 1,944
metre high Mariepskop, one of the highest peaks
of the Drakensberg range in this area. This
affords a breathtaking view of the towering
mountains and vertical cliffs on one side, and
the rolling savanna
towards Kruger Park on the other. Visitors to
Moholoholo can experience both Lowveld woodland
as well as indigenous mountainous rain forest
without leaving the Game Farm.
The
Forest Camp comprises of 3 secluded Thatched
Reed Huts, 4 rustic Log Cabins and 3 Brick
Chalets - all with en suite shower (the Reed
Huts consist of bath and shower). The main
building is where the dining room and deck are
situated. The deck overlooks a small shady
waterhole under a canopy of large trees where
Nyala and Bushbuck come to quench their thirst
together with Samango monkeys under the watchful
eyes of birds such as green Twinspots, Paradise
Fly Catchers and Pygmy Kingfishers. The
waterhole is floodlit at night and visited by
nocturnal animals such as Bushpig, Civet and
Porcupine.
Our host and hostess’ sincere hospitality makes
any visitor feel at home and “part of the
family” within minutes after arriving. The
lovely setting of the camp soon soothes away
stress while the peace and quiet of unspoiled
nature becomes a way of life. Country-style
cooking enhances the intimate atmosphere
experienced at Forest Camp.
During the day, game and bird viewing can
be done on foot, as a number of easy walking
trails are available. The hide at the main
waterhole is one of the popular places to relax
in the tranquility of the bush. At night guests
are taken on a game drive in an open vehicle.
A late afternoon drive can be arranged if it is
available at the time.
Wildlife includes Sable, Waterbuck, Kudu,
Eland, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Nyala, Bushbuck,
Giraffe, Warthog, Bushpig, Leopard, Tsessebe,
Civet, Serval, Caracal, and many others. The
prolific bird life makes Moholoholo a bird
watchers paradise. Moholoholo is not situated on
a Big 5 game reserve but it offers a unique
experience for eco-tourists.
A
visit to the
Moholoholo
Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
is an unforgettable experience. A wide variety
of birds and animals can be seen here, where
Brian Jones and his team nurses and nurtures the
injured and orphaned, rehabilitating them for
release back to the wild. Guided tours through
the Centre brings visitors in close contact with
the rare and common species such as the lovely
Crowned and Martial Eagles, Owls, Vultures and a
variety of raptors, Serval, Duiker, Lions,
Leopard and many other animals and birds.

swimming pool, television, radios, telephones or
any shopping facilities.
