family friendly environment. The private game reserve is situated
in a malaria free area making it suitable for children of all ages.
The reserve is home to many ‘smaller’ animal species
such as giraffe, zebra, various antelope and warthogs, which makes
it safe for children to be out. Included is a visit to a Cheetah
Project, and Bambela Animal Shelter, as well as the Big 5 experience
in Welgevonden Nature Reserve, only one kilometer away from Kololo’s
gate! There are special activities for the kids, designed to give
parents some free time as well, unless they wish to join in the
fun!
Kololo Bushveld Adventure Safari Detailed Itinerary

Johannesburg to Kololo |

Today is the joining day in Johannesburg, “City
of Gold”. You will be met at the airport or your hotel
for the transfer to Kololo which is about a 3-4 hour drive.
On arrival at Kololo, there will be an introduction for the
kids. They are given a booklet which will guide them during
their stay and where different activities get signed off.
It shows how to identify certain animals and the tracks they
leave behind. Then it is time to take in the view and let
the charm of the view start doing its work! Depending on arrival
time, there will be an afternoon game drive on Kololo Game
Reserve. Then Bush stories before bed time! Kololo Game Reserve
is situated in the beautiful province of Limpopo, South Africa,
in the heart of the Waterberg biosphere. Vast, peaceful and
incredibly beautiful, this is a fascinating destination with
a rich cultural legacy and a natural splendor. A malaria-free
area and home to a large variety of game, Kololo is a perfect
safari destination. Visit neighbouring reserves and view the
Big 5 - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, or enjoy
a sneak preview over the fence, from the comfort of your chalet
at Kololo. Accommodation features twelve upmarket chalets
positioned in the pristine bushveld so privacy and relaxation
is guaranteed. Kololo is a popular Limpopo game reserve and
is conveniently situated only 3 hours from Johannesburg International
Airport.
