Adventure
Addicts can offer you a real bush veldt experience at our Adventure
Addicts, 3 star catering Guest lodge or our self-catering Bush
lodge, less than 40kmNorth of Pretoria in a malaria free area,
in the north eastern part of Gauteng, which falls within the Dinokeng
area.
Dinokeng
means "a place of rivers", as the region lies in the
catchment area of two rivers that flow into the Olifants and
Limpopo rivers and on to the Indian Ocean. Dinokeng was given
this name as in African culture, river sources have sacred significance
and their confluences are believed to hold healing powers. The
name Dinokeng is derived from the languages of the baTswana
and baPedi people, who traditionally inhabited the area. Dinokeng
is home to a range of game including rhinoceros, leopard, zebra,
hyena, giraffe, buffalo, kudu, red hartebees and eland. Dinokeng
is second only to Ndumo in the St Lucia area in terms of its
numbers of bird species, making this a birdwatcher's paradise.
The
Dinokeng area is also earmarked to become a Dinokeng Big 5 game
reserve, which we will form part of.
The reserve is in the making!
