We are a community newspaper based in Hoedspruit, South Africa, that has its bias towards wildlife and conservation. We aim to have local, original, and relevant content that is both thought provoking and educational. We also strive to maintain a high standard of journalism.
We are in the centre of the UNESCO officially ratified, Kruger to Canyons Biosphere. Hoedspruit is generally considered to be the ‘safari capital’ of South Africa, within close proximity to the renowned and famous Kruger National Park, the Blyde River Canyon, the Timbavati, Klaserie and many other private game farms and reserves. Some of Africa’s most luxurious game lodges are also close by.
We invite you to read our publication, access previous editions, provide feedback should you wish, and hopefully we will get you to subscribe. We publish monthly, and generally release our editions on the last Friday of every month.
We hope you enjoy the read and we look forward to welcoming you to Hoedspruit, our community, and our world of wildlife and conservation.
A recent high court judgment could be a game changer for the setting of municipal electricity tariffs in South Africa. In late October 2025, the court ruled that the process used by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) to decide yearly electricity price hikes was unconstitutional because it stifled public participation and violated the right to fair administrative action.
The dust rose in golden swirls as the convoy of vehicles wound through the warm embrace of the bushveld, sunlight bathing the bush in gold. It was as if nature itself was rejoicing. The air was alive with the sound of rhythmic drumming and joyful voices. Against a crisp blue sky, over 100 guests arrived to celebrate a long-awaited milestone in conservation: the grand reopening of the newly renovated Koru Camp.
The Safari Guide of the Year – an annual event powered by the Field Guides Association of southern Africa (FGASA) – was held recently at Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape. This was the first time the event has been held in that province, and it acknowledges and confirms the strides FGASA has made as the golden standard in nature guiding in southern Africa and beyond, more particularly the progress made in the Eastern Cape.
A bold new solution for Africa’s safari industry has arrived. Born in the heart of the bushveld, WildHire is a game-changing platform connecting lodges and tour operators with freelance professionals across Southern Africa – fast, directly, and seamlessly.
Earlier this month, the world marked the International Day of Biosphere Reserves (3rd November) – a day dedicated to celebrating the 748 UNESCO-designated regions that safeguard biodiversity, while supporting sustainable livelihoods across the planet.
December always feels like a race between joy and exhaustion. There’s wrapping paper under the couch, half-burnt candles on the table, and someone still arguing about who’s bringing the pudding. But between the noise and the nonsense, there’s magic – the kind that sneaks up in quiet moments, when laughter turns real and love feels simple again. Take it slow. The year’s done its best; now so should you.
CemAir is thrilled to announce the launch of a new domestic route connecting George and Hoedspruit, commencing 17 May 2026. This strategic addition to CemAir’s growing network offers passengers a convenient link between two of South Africa’s most iconic travel destinations – the safari-rich Lowveld and the picturesque Garden Route.
