We booked the slightly more expensive private tour and had an amazing time. My wife didn't want to come so I just took me and my 2 boys (5 and 8 at the time). The guide started off with showing us some very venomous snakes and explaining how the venom of different snakes worked. He was clearly passionate about reptiles and snakes and loved his job. He had time for all our questions and really made the experience great. We then moved on to lizards where we spent a lot of time stroking an iguana, several other lizards, and even feeding a chameleon by holding food in our mouths! Then it was time to hold a huge python, it weighed more than we could hold. Then a tour round some other sections including snapping turtles and crocodiles. Finally the guide fed a venomous snake a mouse and we watched it eat the mouse. The guide was so kind to me and my kids, we all came away with a much greater love and appreciation of reptiles. In all we were there probably 2.5 hours.

Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

Reviewed By 395ally - Johannesburg, South Africa

This should be a must-see on the way to Orpen and Phalaborwa Gates to KNP, particularly with children. Tours at 10h00 and 15h00 can leave Jo'burg at 09h00 and make it. Large range of rescued animals including eagles/ vultures and lion/ leopard/ cheetah/ wild dogs/ hyena/ cerval/ honey badger/ etc and some buck. Can see them up close as they are mainly human imprinted so cannot be returned to the wild and are not afraid of humans. Seeing the speed an agility of the leopard climbing a tree was spectacular. A highlight of our trip to the Park. Nice small coffee and snack shop/ good museum and curio shop. We stayed at near by Forest Camp which is part of same set up - very good.

Hippo Jessica

Reviewed By G750DMpaulas - Leicester, United Kingdom

Jessica is a must if you are in the area. Where in the world do you get the chance to feed and give a bottle of tea to a fully grown hippo, and for just R100. This is an amazing experience that you really need to visit. Jessica has every opportunity to go off to the wild hippos, it is her choice to stay around humans. She is a wild animal and safety precautions are followed. Still allowing you to get close enough to touch this lovely animal, feed her corn and give her a bottle of tea. She was easy to find when on the R527 towards Hoedspruit turn left towards Essex and you will see signs for Jessica, follow the road and you will find her on the right hand side.
