African Wildlife Destinations


A Lodge Unlike Other African Wildlife Destinations, Centrally Located In The Waterberg Region


The African wildlife destinations you dream of visiting do not have to be in another country or hours of driving away if you are a Gauteng resident.  In fact, the magic lies much closer and our five-star Bushveld lodge is:

  • 150 km from both Pretoria and Polokwane
  • 200 km from Johannesburg
  • 180 km from Middelburg
  • 190 km from O.R. Tambo International Airport
  • 36 km from Modimolle, which has its own airfield
  • 260 km from Sun City
  • 525 km from the Kruger National Park

This delightfully central location at the foot of the Waterberg is ideal even for just a weekend away, because it is close enough to drive and as an added bonus, this is a malaria-free area too.


African Wildlife

Of course, African wildlife destinations are all about the African wildlife you are likely to encounter there and what is the use if the whole gamut is not on offer? african wildlife destinationsThe Waterberg area where our lodge is located is home to a vast list of over 300 bird species and if you are an avid bird watcher and you have not yet ticked the rare buzzard lizard or brown snake eagle, you would be delighted to hear that they can be seen here.  Other examples of African wildlife that frequent our corner of the Bushveld include:

  • hyena
  • leopard
  • golden mole
  • serval
  • African wild cat

The African wildlife is best appreciated on a leisurely game drive and to this end; two game drives per day are included in your rate when you stay with us.  Early morning and late afternoon-to-evening games drives usually reward nature lovers with the most sightings, but night drives are also available, affording you a glimpse of the nocturnal wildlife not normally seen during the daytime.  Bird watchers also stand to see many of the listed bird species during such a game drive.
