A 2,000 hectare unfenced reserve in
the Cradle of Humankind, 45 minutes
from Johannesburg.
A plunge pool on the deck, a fire at the boma and a kitchen you are welcome to treat as your own.
AVAILABLE FACILITIES
After a morning out in the reserve, the lodge is set up to let you do very little. The plunge pool and the pool table share the raised timber deck, the lounge has a stone fireplace that comes into its own in winter, and the boma waits for the evening. Because the lodge is not licensed and there is no shop on the reserve, guests bring their own drinks and their own meat, and the kitchen and braai facilities are there to be used.
PLUNGE POOL
The plunge pool sits on the raised timber deck, open to every guest and well placed for cooling off in the heat of the day. It looks straight out over the reserve, which makes it as much a spot for watching the valley as for swimming.
SUN DECK
The main sun deck runs along the front of the lodge with a pool table set up under cover, so there is something to do as the afternoon runs out. It is the gathering point of the property, with the plunge pool at one end and the valley stretching out in front.
GUEST LOUNGE
When you are ready to leave your suite, the lounge has comfortable couches, a stone fireplace that earns its keep in winter and selected DSTV channels. It sits alongside the dining room, which makes it the natural place for a family to gather and catch up.
BOMA & BRAAI
The boma and the braai areas are where the evening happens. The lodge assists with all braai requirements and provides the side dishes, so guests bring the meat and the marshmallows. The wood crackles, the valley goes quiet, and the day gets talked through properly.
FOR THE CHILDREN
There is an outdoor play area for children within sight of the main deck, so parents can keep half an eye on things from a lounger. The reserve is malaria-free and there is open space around the lodge for children to run in.
DINING ROOM
Breakfast is served in the main dining room each morning from 08:00 to 09:30. There is also a communal dining room and a lapa area, which gives a larger group somewhere to sit down together at the end of a day spent out in the reserve.
Make a booking
Every suite looks out over the reserve from a furnished deck of its own, and rates include bed and breakfast.
ACTIVITIES
Guided drives cross 2,000 unfenced hectares, the mountain biking trails run through the same country, and the Cradle of Humankind waits beyond the gate.
There is a plunge pool on the raised timber deck at Mount Savannah, open to all guests and well placed for cooling off after time out in the reserve. It is a plunge pool rather than a full-length swimming pool, and swimming towels are not provided.
