During a cold and rainy evening in Europe we came to the idea to travel to Africa. "A 'once in a lifetime experience' with the entire family". Plans came together and a year later we took the plane to set off to South Africa. All kind of expectations but no one really knows what to expect... Immediately we felt at home with Ritchard and Robbie, our guide buddies during the trip.
They did all they could do to make this the trip of our life. Travelling with Imagina Africa Safaris was luxurious, relaxing, beautifull, adventurous and fun all together.

The Graskop Hotel is centrally situated on the Mpumalanga Escarpment at the start of the Panorama Route. On our doorstep you have the famous Pinnacle Rock, God's Window and the historical town of Pilgrim's Rest. A short scenic drive takes you to Bourkes Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon, or the Kruger National Park. The Numbi Gate entrance is 52 kilometres from Graskop Hotel.
Away from the hustle and bustle, yet only 4 hours drive from Johannesburg International Airport is the Graskop Hotel, where friendly staff, a warm atmosphere and fresh flowers makes it an ideal place to unwind. The outside of the Graskop Hotel is pretty unassuming - but walk inside and you'll be greeted by the biggest private collection of contemporary African art in the entire country. Beaded chairs from Nigeria, pygmy beds from Cameroon, sculptures from Ivory Coast, body masks from Tanzania, carvings from Zimbabwe, baskets from South Africa.
Owners Harrie Siertsema, Willem van Bergen, Elva van der Meulen and Ellen Stroud have turned the Graskop Hotel into one of the funkiest spots in Mpumalanga - the hotel itself is a marvellous mixture of Seventies, Art Deco and contemporary African styles - and the place has become very popular with European travellers, particularly the French. It isn't hard to see why.
