The Most Spectacular Mountain Drive Near Hoedspruit

Join us on one of the most spectacular mountain drives in South Africa. In this episode of Pep in the Bush, we take several members of our team on an unforgettable trip to Mariepskop, the highest peak in the northern Drakensberg near Hoedspruit. The road to the summit is steep and challenging, but the reward is breathtaking panoramic views over the Lowveld and surrounding mountains. On our way back down, we encounter an incredible sight: dozens of vultures feeding on a dead cow at the foot of the mountain. Mariepskop is one of the most scenic and underrated destinations in South Africa and a must-visit if you are staying in the Hoedspruit area. - I'm Pep, and together with my partner Jeroen, we left our life in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and made the bold move to Hoedspruit, South Africa. In December 2023, we opened our dream guestlodge in the heart of the South African bushveld. This channel shares our real-life adventures: from running a safari lodge, living among wild animals like elephants, giraffes, and lions, to exploring Kruger National Park, Hoedspruit and surroundings and embracing a new life in Africa.
