All of our properties have dedicated chefs on site, who provide breakfast, lunch and supper for guests.

Don't forget the morning and evening game drive snacks - you are sure not to go hungry in the bush!

Relax

Imagine having an entire safari lodge to yourself, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. All of our lodges have pools (some unfenced!) and some have a private gym. Spend the day relaxing on the patio in between game drives, while looking out over the pristine landscape and prolific wildlife beyond.

You can't wander too far from the lodge, but rest assured there is still much to do! Each lodge has the opportunity of 2 game drives a day, where you will see plenty of birds, animals plant species of all kinds. The game drives are exclusively yours, allowing you to decide what you really want to see and look for. Your guide will include morning and evening drink stops at spectacular viewpoints and impart interesting facts about the nature around you, guaranteeing an unforgettable and exclusive safari experience.

Hiring out a few lodges is a good option for conferences, corporate getaways and team building. We suggest enjoying your game drives and convening at one lodge in between for meetings and eating together. Depending on your requirements, we would suggest which lodges would be the best options for this.

Functions & Events

We welcome family and friends groups to host small functions at our lodges, and can host by spreading families out over a few of the lodges and then gathering at one central place.
