Serondella Live Wildlife Cam – Greater Kruger

Serondella Game Lodge sits in the Thornybush Private Nature Reserve, a Big Five reserve on the western edge of Greater Kruger in Limpopo. The camera faces the lodge's waterhole, where animals come to drink throughout the day and night.

What to see

• Elephants arriving in family groups
• Lions and leopards stalking the bush
• Rhinos, buffalo and giraffe
• Night-time visits from hyenas and genets

Thornybush covers about 11,000 hectares of bushveld and shares an open border with Kruger, so wildlife moves freely. The reserve has a mix of lodges, and Serondella is a small, family-friendly camp with guided drives and walking safaris. Hoedspruit airport is about 40 minutes away.

Plan your visit

• Fly to Hoedspruit or drive from Johannesburg (about 5 hours)
• Book morning and evening drives with a ranger
• Visit between May and September for the dry season
• Take malaria precautions and warm clothing for early drives

The bush is green and thick in summer, with newborn animals and excellent birding. Winter brings clear skies, cold mornings and animals concentrated around water, which makes for easier sightings.
