About Hoedspruit
Hoedspruit used to be a small village but following the development of the Kruger National Park together with other private game reserves around the edges of Kruger, the village has grown into a sizeable town with many five star hotels gaining custom by offering excursions into the nearby parts of the park that have regular sightings of the so called ‘Big Five’. The town is found at the foot of the Klein Drakensberg Mountains, not as high or as rugged as the full Drakensberg further south but still an impressive mountain range that offers opportunities to hike and camp amongst nature.



To further cater for the wealthy tourists that go there, Hoedspruit has developed several shopping malls with expensive couture and jewellers together with a number of designer boutiques. The Kamogelo Centre has even developed into a fully inclusive complex with cinemas, restaurants and shops all under one roof.

If you want to learn more about the animals you see in the park, spend a day at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre which breeds endangered species endemic to the area and releases them into the wild following a carefully controlled adaptation process. The centre offers tours of its work, accommodation and trips to see the successes it has enjoyed for the public, school groups and students who might want to consider getting involved in conservation.  On your return to the airport for your flight home, spend some time in the AFB Hoedspruit Game Reserve that surrounds the airport and take a last look at the big game.
