At a Glance

What to expect at the lodge/reserve

  • Safari / bush walks by arrangement
  • Game drives by arrangement

Accommodation

En-suite luxury tented accommodation in tents under thatch, on a raised deck. Single or double accommodation available. Look across the bushveld from your bath, or spoil yourself with an outdoor shower under the stars. Sip champagne on your deck as the sun sets on the western horizon. Relax in your own private chalet or join other guests at the lapa.

Dining

As the sun sets, head off for a game drive and sundowner in the bush. The evenings see guests gather around the boma for drinks around the fire rounding off the day with a hearty three course dinner, carefully prepared to satisfy your every need.

On-Site Facilities & Activities

Mountain biking or bush walks amongst the game are a must. A leisurely walk down to the Elands River, bird book and binoculars in hand is a popular activity. As the reserve is home to no dangerous animals you can stroll amongst the game in safety. Relax by the poolside at the comfortable lapa which is equipped with a lounge, bar and dining area.

For those colder winter days, come into the fold of the indoor lounge and dining room and curl up with a book next to the fire or head off to the TV room to watch your favourite DSTV channel.

Location

Butjani is an ideal first night stop for international visitors to acclimatize before embarking on their trip around South Africa. Proximity to Johannesburg and Pretoria also makes it an attractive getaway destination in a malaria free area for both local and overseas visitors. Trips to Pilanesberg or Maropeng can be arranged, or any other day tours in the Pretoria or Johannesburg area. Airport transfers are available on request.

A wonderful find for a nature loving work team to celebrate their year end. Always looking for a suitable Covid friendly property that a group of 10-12 can comfortably book out for one night. Four very comfortable, well designed and maintained delux tents looking out into the bush. Ample game and constant birdsong on the property too. Thank you Johan and Penny for your warm hospitality and catering.

What an amazing experience! A review can never reflect of what we experienced. Lovely venue and wonderful hosts. John and Penny made us feel at home and so welcome. The food was out of the books and we had an overall perfect time away.
