PRIVATE SAFARI LODGES & GAME LODGES
 

 


PRIVATE SAFARI LODGES & GAME LODGES

These have luxury accommodation and facilities, many of which are in private game reserves. The accommodation and cuisine is invariably luxurious and all inclusive.

Private Game Reserves have the big five on their properties and can offer up close game viewing not possible in the public reserves and National Parks. Their major advantage over the Kruger National Park is that you can go off the track in a 4X4 to get a closer look, without having to compete for viewing space with any other vehicles.

Some Lodges are conventional building construction, but most are thatched roofed and/or wooden and/or luxury tent based to create a more authentic rustic 'close to the wild' atmosphere.  However all are very upmarket accommodation.

Some especially cater for children as well.

Most of these private Game Lodges and Safari Lodges are in private reserves attached to, or near, Kruger National Park, and some are on the other side of the country at Madikwe Game Reserve. These are listed below.

Also there are more luxury lodges listed in our Durban/ Drakensberg and the Garden Route web pages.
