Day 1

Upon arrival at OR Tambo International Airport you will be met by an Island-Safari.com representative. Pick up your rental car, and start your three and half hours drive to Tomjachu Bush Lodge.

The lodge is located in the Bekker Mountains, 800m above sea level. The Mpumalanga-Kruger International Airport is a 25 minute drive and Kruger National Park (Malelane Gate) is a 40 minute drive. Tomjachu Bush Lodge is an exclusive private/nature game reserve, set over a 1000 acres of beautiful country. Breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings. There is a large variety of bird life and a variety of game, from Zebra, Kudu, Giraffe, Impala, Blesbok to their two female Ostrich’s, who seem to be in charge of all.

Game drives are offered or one can freely enjoy walking the property. There is plenty to do in the region: in White River you can visit the Casterbridge Farm Shopping Centre and its renowned motor museum. Browse through the multitude of creative and artistic shops. Peruse the fine linen, furniture and jewellery that can be found in White River while pondering on which of the fine restaurants you'll be dining at.

The famous Kruger National Park is less than 40 minutes drive to the Malelane Gate on the national N4 road. Day visits to the Kruger can be arranged in open safari vehicles with qualified rangers and trackers. Maputo, capital of neighbouring Moçambique is approximately 2 hours drive on the N4 toll road.
