Plumari Africa reserve (circa 5,000 acres) boasts a significant array of wildlife (and is the first Big 5 reserve in Gauteng) and sits beneath the Magaliesberg mountain range providing a tranquil yet awe-inspiring setting. ACCOMMODATION21 chalets overlook the elephant dam and main reserve. The Chalets: The thatched roofed chalets have one main living area with double or twin beds, a fireplace, mini-bar, an en-suite with shower and a large bath-tub with most overlooking the Elephant dam (although the Elephant's like to think their dam overlooks the guests bathrooms!). De Lux chalets contain DSTV. DININGThe Restaurant: Let our executive chef conjure up some Plumari delights in the a la carte restaurant. You can dine in the main dining hall, on the patio overlooking the elephant dam or in the lapa under the stars'. The Bar: The bar has a 74 cm TV with full DSTV functionality. To be honest we think that the sports channel will likely prevail in here. We suggest you stroll out onto the patio by the pool with your drink and take in the 'ambience' There is a mezzanine TV room in the main lodge with 2 further sets (one for sports and one for other viewing). Elephant ExperiencesWe have 3 Elephant Experiences on offer. The Early Morning Wake-up, Mid Morning Touch & Feed or Afternoon Walk with our Elephants.

Our secondary facility is the main Gala Hall with stage and roaring fireplace which can seat 160 pax. ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIESFor those that wish to stimulate their minds, stroll through our history museum viewing historic memorabilia from stone age tools and thousand year old San bushman carvings found on the Reserve to viewing one of the largest private collections of ox wagons and carts in South Africa.
