Superior hospitality and superlative cuisine are the hallmarks of this luxury ranch-style lodge, with sumptuous accommodation including en-suite bathrooms and fireplaces for chilly winter evenings and under- floor heating. The surrounds are similarly spectacular: the foothills of the Winterberg Mountains and the Swartkei River create a dramatic backdrop to the lodge.

Taste of Africa

Dining at these lodges is an authentic culinary experience. Dining area options are different at each lodge but can include an outdoor boma with a fully stocked bar, African-inspired lapa, deck over the Seacow River, or the owner’s home with a cozy dining room and prominent fireplaces.

Meals include free-range steak, some of the best Karoo lamb, fresh locally produced vegetables, game hunted on safari, and a wide range of traditional, hearty South Africa meals.

Itineraries vary in length but the best plan is to have 7 – 14 days on safari.

You can expect the following when we design your African safari: we will listen to your vision for your African hunting safari experience. We then begin designing your safari with lodge and destination selection, activity selection, flights, meet & greet services, travel insurance, clothing & equipment list, a countdown to Africa (this assists you with detail preparation leading up to trip time), detailed pricing with all included/not included items, and more.

As full-service African hunting safari specialists, we have visited over 110+ safari lodges in Africa over the last 30 years. We have selected only a handful of those who have met our strenuous criteria.  A combination of big game hunting, bird hunting, photo safari, Cape Town and Victoria Falls safaris are our specialty.

As with all of our African properties, private aircraft are available for transfers if you prefer.

There are several options for travel all beginning with your arrival in Johannesburg.

Option 1: We have charter planes that can take you directly to the properties  or nearby

Option 2: Fly from Johannesburg to either Port Elizabeth, East London or Bloemfontein where you will be greeted by your lodge host and transfer by road to the hunting property which will be a 2  hour scenic drive.
