More About Kruger Flexi Tours
Twenty years of passion and devotion have created the absolute ultimate home away from home when you are in the company of Dave & Bella in the comfort of Old Vic Travellers. Be it a sundowner on the sundeck overlooking the nature reserve. Or a splash in the pool after a day in the wilderness of Kruger or exploring the local sights that abound us. Nothing completes your adventurous day better than a home-cooked meal. Then off to a restful night’s sleep in either, one of the comfortable en-suite rooms, a self-catering cottage that snuggles perfectly into the garden or a bed in the en-suite dorm, the choice, although tough, is totally yours!
Old Vic Travellers is situated in the quaint, leafy upbeat city of Nelspruit, Mpumalanga in South Africa. Nelspruit is ideally positioned allowing easy and affordable access to Kruger National Park, beautiful Swaziland and the inviting vibrant sea’s of Mozambique. Kruger National Park is 60 kms from Old Vic, a mere stone’s throw as one is transformed from city life to the dusty roads, thick bush, the Big Five and many more creatures that make Kruger National Park an unforgettable experience.
Nelspruit boasts the world’s oldest caves; the Sudwala Caves, and the absolutely breathtaking God’s Window and Blyde River Canyon to mention a few. Nelspruit boasts it all.
