What Are You Looking To Get Out of an African Game Lodge.

Let’s not beat around the bush, one does expect a certain level of comfort at an African game lodge. Five star facilities and services aren’t always necessary when on a wilderness appreciation trip, but you wouldn’t exactly want to sleep in a tent amongst the ferocious members of the Big Five. Finding the balance between raw beauty and creature comforts is up to you.

Safety and security are super important, and your wellbeing is the first priority of African game rangers and trackers. Obscure luxuries and pampering treats are great, but ensuring you don’t get caught up in the local food chain is slightly more important.

The wilderness and its inhabitants command a lot of respect, and we should keep this in mind when visiting their domain. Make ourselves too comfortable, and we’ll forget to respect these marvellous creatures as much as we should.

What to Look Forward to at an African Game Lodge:

• Big Five viewing opportunities.
• Excellent African style cuisine.
• Beautiful panoramic views in an awesome climate.
• A blend of rugged beauty and unprecedented comfort.
• Luxurious, yet traditional accommodation in secluded privacy.
• Adventure activities as well as a chance for total relaxation.
• Entertainment for the little ones.

Splash out in a cosy bungalow made to traditional Shangaan design and complete with thatch roof. These huts are available in different sizes depending on the amount of travellers in your party, and provide more than basic shelter without over-catering.

Enjoy an open-air bush shower fuelled by wood fires in the privacy of the African outback, a circle with your friends or family around a bonfire. Take in the simple pleasures of nature, and taste the many flavours of African cuisine.

Your safari experience is entirely up to you. Go on as many game drives as you want, at night or on one of the many walking tours – let the freedom of the wilderness help you decide.
