Pridelands Conservancy is located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, north of the Hoedspruit Airforce base.
The fences between Pridelands and the Greater Kruger National Park (GKNP) were removed in September 2017, incorporating the Pridelands Conservancy into the Great Kruger National Park with an additional 2000 ha of land and greatly expanding the animal habitat.

FLEXIBLE SAFARI ACTIVITIES
Custom Tailored Safaris: Daily activities can be tailor-made to the guests’ interests and preferences and the guides are suitably qualified to provide a professional experience on all aspects of the eco-tourism offering. From photography, to birding, to tree and plant identification, and geology.
The exclusive-use nature of the camp allows for a very flexible approach to the safari activities. Whilst there are opportunities for walking safaris, there is a well-equipped game viewer for those who rather wish to drive and explore the remote areas of the reserve.
Wildlife Sightings
Since we dropped the fences at the Pridelands Conservancy, the variety of wildlife that has been seen is truly remarkable. From the Big Five to hyenas, wild dog, elephant, and buffalo, there is never a dull moment on safari with EcoTraining in this natural wonderland.
