Recommended Game Drive Routes - Mid Southern Section of the Kruger National Park

Drive 1
From Orpen Gate to Satara, travel along the H7, turning right onto the S106 and then right again on the S140, which leads past Talamati Bushveld Camp (becoming the S145). A right turn at the T-junction, into the S36 will take you past a picnic spot and back to the Orpen-Satara Road (H7), onto which you can turn right to get to Satara, or left to get back to Orpen.

Travelling on the H1-2 from Skukuza towards Satara, drive until you reach the H10 turnoff (to the right) and take the S32 to the left. The road goes along the Nwaswitsontso River, passing the Eileen orpen Picnic spot and the Orpen Dam. Return to the H1-2 by continuing on the S32 and taking the S35 exit to the left.

Drive 3
Driving south from Satara on the H1-3, continue past the S126 and pass the Nyika Pan to the right. Take the next right turn onto the S125, which passes a baobab and continues along the N’waswitsontso River, before reaching a loop around the dam, close to the S36. You can take the S36 right to return to the H7.

Trip planning made easily and with kindness!
I was in need of help quickly to book a place to stay for 6 people. I wasn’t sure if I should drive or fly and Pascal helped me so quickly and was so kind and patient. He texted with me, called me and was wonderful to work with. He provided me with 2 quotes and helped me through the booking process. Looking forward to our trip!

Great customer service
Heleen went out of her way to find us accommodation. We left our planning way to late and were looking at the busiest time of year yet she worked her magic.

I highly recommend Shann Shaw
Shann Shaw has been great to work with and she has tried her best to try to meet our budget expectations. She is very kind, responsive and detailed in her explanations and really, really helpful. When I told her I decided to book through expedia or booking, she still explained how everything worked and how these websites sometimes don't have all the details you need, yet, she work hard in getting us our flights and the hotel that we really wanted for this experience. I couldn't be happier with her service and dedication and highly recommend her services!

Candis was lovely to work with and…
Candis was lovely to work with and super quick to respond. The entire process from when we first reached out to her to inquire about a trip to when we confirmed the quote and booking was under a week. We sincerely appreciated having all of these details taken care of for us and the all of the attention she took in answering our questions and adjusting our trip to work within our timeline.
