Singita Game Reserve, Kruger National Park

Like the Lebombo Euphorbia tree after which it was named, the design of Lebombo Lodge is one of a kind. From the sweeping wooden decks, you can watch the theatre that unfolds before you, while the lap pool beckons to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The fifteen suites feature contemporary finishes with beds dressed with Egyptian cotton and silky-soft throws. Enjoy dinner in the boma, then spend the evening, if you so wish, sleeping under the stars on the bed of your private terrace.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Rhino Month

September was declared Rhino Month by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in South Africa, and the response has been phenomenal.

Rhino Month will culminate on Rhino Day on the 22 September @ 13h00PM, when all South Africans are urged to take to the streets and make as much noise as they can to show support for the fight against poaching.

At Road Travel we make use of reserves, lodges and camps that are dedicated to the fight against poaching and preserving a vanishing way of life.

Selecting Accommodation

When it comes to selecting accommodation venues for our clients stay, we at Road Travel give first preference to those venues that we have seen and stayed at, placed clients with and the tourism grading standard.

The Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) is an organization that ensures the standard of quality accommodation and conference venues throughout South Africa. Through its star grading system, the TGCSA provides a framework and process for the grading of accommodation establishments. Great news is that the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa will implement its improved accommodation grading system from October 2010.

In addition to assuring holidaymakers of a comfortable stay whenever they book into a professionally assessed, star-graded establishment, the new grading criteria will also mean improved consumer protection.

To improve accommodation-grading standards, all TGCSA assessors are being re-trained and will assess properties using the same set of statistically weighted evaluation criteria.

Road Travel work with suppliers that have been evaluated and graded, and therefore offer clients the peace of mind knowing they will get the best.

We provide South Africa accommodation reservations from character hotels to luxurious game lodges. Our hand picked selections of properties are chosen for their superb locations, value for money and excellent service.
As we work with these establishments on a contract basis, the discounts we get are passed on to our clients.

Tell us what type of accommodation you require and we can arrange a quality and enjoyable place to stay that meets all your needs.

Obviously, the most important aspect of a tour to southern Africa is the planning, and that is why it is ever so handy to have someone like Road Travel on your side, someone with knowledge and experience of the places you want to visit.
