[ OVERVIEW ]
Getting there
N’kosi Sana Game Lodge is set among the scenic hills of Groenfontein, an hour outside of Pretoria. From Pretoria/Johannesburg take the N1 towards Polokwane (Pietersburg). Take the Zambezi off-ramp and turn right. At the second traffic light, turn left onto the Moloto road (R573). Follow that road for approximately 30km until you go through Wadrif. In Wadrif, there is a Shell petrol station on both sides of the road; 300m after the petrol station, turn left onto a gravel road towards Hartebeesfontein. Follow the gravel road for about 6km and turn right on another gravel road. You’ll see a big Amakulu Nature Reserve sign on your right. After 4km you get to the first gate. To your left is a big concrete radio tower. Go through the gate and follow the main gravel road. Near the end of your safari, the road takes a 90-degree right turn and you drive along a game fence till you are at a big black sliding gate. After the gate, which must please be closed again, follow the left road and after 1.5km you will be at the Lodge.
On your bike
This extensive property has approximately 50km of jeep tracks and game paths which should satisfy all levels of rider. Although it is only an hour out of Pretoria, you’ll experience pristine bushveld with plenty of game along your route. Sixteen game species can be observed along the trails from steenbok to giraffe. The terrain is very hilly which ensures interesting riding, with two fountains and a river for refreshing stops as well as some water passages for riding.
Off your bike
In addition to the game drives and walks, the birding and fishing, the lodge has table tennis, beach volleyball, a billiards and snooker table, and archery, of all things!
