Franklyn Park was first settled in the mid 1800s.

​

With owners like James Travis, the region's first native commissioner, Franklyn Park offers a rich tapestry of history in South Africa’s story.

​

Engulfed by lush rain forests and mountains, Franklyn Park boasts a unique bioclimate situated near the Kruger Park and the Blyde River.

​

Temperate climates provide a safe haven for the unique and diverse wildlife on the farm - from the Red and Blue Duiker, to the Narina Trogon bird, Franklyn Park provides a rich experience with creatures that, although rare to the rest of the world, are common place to our guests and companions.
