MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME
Welcome to the Kedibone Safari Family!
My name is Renata and I am passionate about wildlife, nature, photography and travel. After many years of trials and obstacles I had to overcome I can finally say " I am living my dream!" Thank you to each and every person who played a part in my life and helped me to fulfil my dream. I will forever be grateful! Most importantly thank you to my Heavenly Father for all His mercy, love and grace over me!
With Kedibone Safaris I am finally able to share all the wonders of our natural world with people from all over the globe. Every person that comes with me on safari became a part of my big worldly family and will forever remain friends. I love to share my knowledge of nature in a way which is more than just facts, but also true and valuable to our own life's. My wish is that every person leaving after a safari with me will have something close to their heart that will stay with them forever.

MOHOLOHOLO ANIMAL REHABILITATION CENTRE
Moholoholo is situated in the shadow of the majestic “ Mariepskop” which forms part of the mighty Drakensberg mountains, our unique Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is a home to many of South Africa’s abandoned, injured and poisoned wildlife.
Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is extremely proud of its efforts in wildlife education in South Africa. At Moholoholo we are often faced with the difficult decision of what to do with an injured or poisoned animal which will not be able to be released back into the wild. As a result, we have a number of “permanent residents” at the centre and at our own cost we use them as “ambassadors” for their respective species.
Members of the public are therefore able to get an up close and personal experience of these incredible creatures and with our hands on approach we have the ability to demonstrate to the public the threats and problems our wildlife is facing today.
Prices available on request.
JESSICA THE HIPPO
Jessica is a hippo with a phenomenal story of touching people’s hearts. She was found very young in an emaciated state along the banks of the Blyde River in South Africa, and taken in and rehabilitated by the Tonie and Shirley Joubert. Since her rescue in 2000, Jessica grew from strength to strength, and today interacts with wild hippos in the river, as well as the Joubert family and their dogs, never wanting to miss her treat time.
Treat time involves a snack with two bottles of tea and a back rub. Visitors are welcome to join for a small fee and be part of Jessica’s treat time – an experience which has amazed many of our volunteers who have completed placements in the Hoedspruit area.
Jessica essentially serves as an ambassador for her species. Due to her unique story and love of people, visitors can form a connection when they interact with her, learning about her kind, and then spreading positivity about hippos and their importance to others.
Prices available on request.
BLYDE RIVER CANYON
Did you know?
The Blyde River Canyon (now officially known as the Motlatse Canyon) is considered one of the largest canyons on Earth and may be the largest ‘green canyon’ - it has a particularly lush subtropical covering.
The fresh mountain scenery and panoramic views over the Klein Drakensberg escarpment are quite spectacular and give the area its name of 'Panorama Route'. Viewpoints are named for the spectacle they offer, and God's Window and Wonder View hint at the magnitude of the scenery.
The 'Pinnacle' is a single quartzite column rising out of the deep wooded canyon and the ‘Three Rondavels' (also called 'Three Sisters’) are three huge spirals of dolomite rock rising out of the far wall of the Blyde River canyon. Their domed heads are iced in green and their sides are stained with fiery orange lichen. From the 'Three Rondavels' you can see the extensive Swadini Dam in the far distance, which marks the end of the reserve.
Prices available on request.
GIN TASTING
Qualito Craft Distillery is a proud product of Phalaborwa and confirms that local is lekker. Qualito, established in 2005 is of export quality and has a range of gin, whisky, brandy, flavored liqueurs and non-alcoholic drinks to name but a few.
a Bit of background:
Twenty years ago, Pierre and Loumarie Raubenheimer began pouring their time and passion into crafting infused vodkas, whiskey, gin and boutique cocktails of uncompromising character and quality. Born in 1973, Master Distiller Pierre Raubenheimer graduated from “Tuks,” the University of Pretoria. In his role as a systems specialist at Vodacom he travelled widely and was able to indulge his growing passion by sampling the best examples of craft distilling wherever he found them. In 2005 he started his own business in Phalabowra and his dedication to the art of fine distilling was rewarded a few years later with the release to the public of the Distillery’s first fine crafted offerings.
