After reading The Elephant Whisperer, which is the second book written by South African author and conservationist Lawrence Anthony along with journalist Graham Spence, we were very keen to visit Thula Thula and the elephant stars of the book. This Reserve did not disappoint - we had a wonderful stay with two baby rhinos on our doorstep every night.

A popular stop between Skukuza and Satara Under the shade of a great sausage tree (Kigelia africana) and surrounded by the open, untamed bush, guests that stop at Tshokwane Trading Post & Picnic Site can look forward to stoep-style seating, authentically-South African fare, colourful, hand-crafted souvenirs and so much more. Location, location, location! Tshokwane was established in 1928, initially as a ranger post by Kruger Park’s first warden - James Stevenson-Hamilton, and was named after a local Shangaan chief, known as Chokwane. The site actually went through a revamp several years ago, further enhancing its appeal to guests that make their way from camps in the south of the Kruger National Park, like Skukuza and Pretoriuskop Rest Camp to the ones in the north. This trading post is also surely one of the stops that you’ll make if you decide to embark on some of the game drive routes between Skukuza and Satara Rest Camp.

Located off S29 overlooking Mlondozi Dam, approximately 15 km from Lower Sabie has to be the number one picnic spot as it is situated on top of a hill with a view of the dam and plains below. We have had amazing sightings from here. Picture this – we get to the picnic cook our bacon and eggs and just as we are about to eat a heard of about 2000 buffalo appears on the plains walking in single file towards the dam.... or we see a lioness hunting giraffe...or we spot thousands of zebra ... or we watch baboons, wildebeest and zebra fighting over a dribble of water...or we watch elephants holding each other's tails in single file... etc etc - it is a magical place....
