Itinerary
Day 1 |
Molema Camp
Andre
van Vuuren , Director of Explore Africa, and
qualified safari guide will meet you at the Shell
Garage in All Days at 14h00 before commencing our
journey to the Pontdrift border post with
Botswana
. From here we will leave for Nokolodi
(20 km game drive) where we will spend the
next two nights. Pondrift is quite a long drive from
Gauteng
(470 kilo’s) but the roads are good and a visit to
“The land of the Giants” is absolutely
worth your while.
|
Day 2 |
Molema Camp
We
will go on an early morning game drive in the
Northern Tuli Game Reserve with special open game
viewing vehicles. Back at Camp we will have a hearty
brunch before leaving in our own 4X4 vehicles for a
drive to the Solomon Walls in the dry riverbed of
the
Motloutse
River
. Late afternoon we will get into the game viewing
vehicles again for a afternoon game drive. We will
spend the evening around the campfire, telling
stories and listen to the wonderful sounds of our
beloved Tuli Game Reserve.

Day 3
Day 4 |
Mapungubwe National Park
Today
we leave for the
Mapungubwe
National
Park
. In
1932 the student Jerry van Graan discovered the
treasures of Mapungubwe. His father owned a farm in
the
Limpopo
valley and while Jerry was hunting on a neighbouring
farm he was given water in an unusual ceramic
container by a man called Mowena. The student
offered to buy it but the owner refused because the
pot came from a ‘sacred hill’. Jerry then
remembered the story of the mysterious Frenchman
Francois Bernard Lotrie who around 1890 was said to
have found and raided a treasure laden hill in the
same area, taking gold, diamonds and emeralds.
We
will stay in the Mazhou Camping Site in
Mapungubwe
National Park
for the next two nights The campsite is situated
close to the Limpopo Forest Tented Camp in the
Western Section of the Park caters for 10 caravans
or tents, and each camping site is equipped with a
powerpoint.
